Caveat: when the article mentions the "dominant hand" and "non-dominant hand" they really just mean "right hand" and "left hand". These knitting styles do not adjust to your personal handedness. So I guess you can read it as written if you're right-handed, but if you're left-handed this was not written with you in mind.

Whether you just refer to them, or you continuously edit them. Asking because it's always fun to hear about other peoples' use cases and experiences with Obsidian. And because I was thinking about some reference notes I made that I do not actually use for one reason or another, but it boils down to something like this: https://xkcd.com/1205/. I miscalculated how much pain or time making the reference resource would save me. That note gets 0 visits. Meanwhile, other notes I made get near-daily references, and I feel so glad that I made that note because it makes my life a little easier or better.

Seems to be put together with images from The 4-H Knitting Handbook.

On the "conversion complete" bit: if you migrated your stuff from, say, Notion, did you move all of it to Obsidian or do you still use Notion for some things?

I moved from Notion after I made a database of about 40 items and Notion became super slow for me. I manually moved my information over and didn't finish doing that. I don't use Notion anymore, except to transfer things that are still hanging out there. (They are not things I expect to need to reference frequently, hence being able to not use Notion and leave them untransferred. However, I still want to transfer them because I might need to at some point, and want it in one place instead of having to run back to Notion.)

I used to use Google Docs for my academic notes and have been writing new ones in Obsidian. I transferred a few docs manually, but the rest are, like with Notion, untransferred and still in Google Docs. Since I still do use Docs for anything collaborative, since the workspace is still something I use, it is still convenient for me to just search for my old academic notes in Docs. Would like to eventually transfer to Obsidian. I originally wanted Notion to be my place for everything, and to move all my Docs information to Notion. Now that I've abandoned Notion for Obsidian, my goal to move my Docs information has changed to moving it to Obsidian.

There are probably plugins to transfer from these places to Obsidian, or at least some script to make .md files out of Notion and Docs things. Part of why I don't do this is because when I transfer, I also like to clean up the information. Investigate things that were written down hastily that I no longer understand, make that stream-of-consciousness more comprehensible, remove information or to-do-later things that are no longer relevant…

While I am asking about what knitting resources you use I might as well plug this thread asking for knitting resources for beginners.

I have a Ravelry account I rarely use. I come here from time to time. I still have a few how to knit books I got as a child. And I have a few specific tutorials (none are video-only, they are all image + text tutorials) bookmarked online that I know I'll need to refer back to sometime in the future:

• https://sheepandstitch.com/what-is-knitting-gauge/
• https://nourishandnestle.com/tension-in-knitting-too-loose-tight-or-inconsistent/
• https://www.yarnspirations.com/blogs/how-to/how-to-knit-cables
• https://sarahmaker.com/stockinette-stitch/
• https://smokeandslate.com/pages/weave-in-ends-stockinette-stitch

Finally, I keep the pattern I am working on written out in Obsidian (@[email protected] says hi), with a little note at the bottom describing the tension I am using and this: "Finished row x, need to start at row x + 1". (If I wrote 'row x' I would have no idea if I just finished it and need to start x + 1, or if I just finished x - 1 and need to start row x. That was a serious issue for me when using just a counter that ticks up. I could just technically write 'Finished row x' but I feel better both writing that and 'need to start row x + 1'.)

Honestly curious, as someone who keeps hearing a lot about "my daily notes" but who personally doesn't use them.

Also seeing lots of activity on the Obsidian subreddit and figured the Obsidian community on Lemmy could stand to have a post this month too.

Tutorials for using the Obsidian.md notetaking/personal knowledge management system software to organize your campaign.

Curious what got people started.

Left hand sounds like this while the right hand does something a lot faster around the sixth octave.

EDIT: An in real life friend solved this for me. It's Chopin's Étude Op. 25, No. 11.

This isn’t mine, but I found it while looking for some resources on how to do something in Obsidian and it looks pretty cool!

This is absolutely gorgeous. I take academic notes in Obsidian and am going to take several cues from this professor’s notes.

I may have also been trying to make a similar thing for math in general, including discrete mathematics. The professor’s turned out prettier than my own. Still going to make my own, taking/making the notes myself will reinforce these topics, but this is definitely a handy reference.

I’m not using any particular organization strategy like Zettelkasten or PARA or anything. I am using Obsidian for most things, but my to-dos are in Apple Reminders and there are some scattered pieces of information in Google Docs and Notion that I still have yet to migrate to Obsidian.

I am still at a point where I have to focus on the knitting, so right now the most I can do while knitting is listening to music that I need to learn, or participating in a conversation that does not take 100% of my brainpower.

EDIT: Revelation. I can also play idle/incremental games while knitting.
