Calling all crafters & Discworld fans!
Myself and some friends from my crafty Discord are holding ourselves a “Discworld makealong”. And naturally we’d love to invite our friends in the Fediverse to join in too 🥳
No pressure. No deadlines. Just for fun. And any craft welcome!
So far knitting and cross stitch are well-represented but I’m sure we’ll pick up a few more along the way 😄
November 4th, through Hogswatch season, ending in the new year*. You’re very welcome to join in with your project at any point!.
Some of us will be on Mastodon under #DiscworldMAL. I for one will be on Lemmy too. And of course if you want to join the Discord, link’s in my bio, but not necessary if you’re not into that.
(Oh and for those of you who have no idea what Discworld is or what I’m talking about, congratulations you’ve got 41 books to look forward to!)
*I suspect most projects will not actually be finished by then, because we’re slow and easily distracted. As demonstrated by me not posting about this until it’s a week away 🙃

@thegiddystitcher @discworld I have a family recipe for soda bread, that, if properly aged, makes a passable imitation of Dwarf Bread.
We once dented a wooden table with it, then sanded out the dent, using the cut side.
@ShinyBlueThing @discworld This is the greatest thing
@thegiddystitcher @discworld I kind of want to do this (as I suspect I'll be too busy otherwise to participate), except that the final step of the recipe would be "age in dry heat until petrified" and soda bread never seems to last that long in my house.
If anyone else wants to try, just make an Irish soda bread with wholegrain flour, leave out the dried fruits if your recipe calls for it, and let it dry out. For use in woodworking, cut rough slices before ageing.
