I probably won't manage to make anything new for #goblinWeek this year but I will take the opportunity to share the collage poem I made last year, since it is still one of my favorite things I've made
New #collage #poem, about climate change and planting seeds.
This is the second poem I've made by collaging together bits of text from an old econ workbook. (I'm planning to put them all together in a zine when I've completed a few more.)
The first poem, A Bad Dream, can be found here: https://emmajuettner.com/posts/a-bad-dream/
New #introduction now that I've set up my own server— hello, I'm Emma! (previously @emmajuettner@mastodon.art; I'll be migrating my follows over to this new account shortly)
I tend to post about knitting, making collage poems, cooking, creating generative art, mending clothing, tinkering with HTML & CSS, and reading sci-fi stories.
Like, I really don't get why so many of you are so eager to have statistical models write code for you.
I've been arguing for literally my whole career that the actual writing isn't the hard part of software development. But wow, did everyone take that in the wrong direction recently.
Understanding the system is the hard and valuable part. And I genuinely don't know how you think you're going to do that if you never get to do any of the safe and easy interactions with the system.
A desperate plea into the world: does anyone have a single ball (or part ball) of Woolcraft Harvest Chunky in the green (444) colourway?
Mum has finally knit a sweater after years of convincing her that she can... and she's hit yarn chicken before finishing the neckband, and the yarn is now out of stock everywhere. If I could purchase from someone's stash I would be eternally grateful.
UPDATE: we’ve found it! Thanks to @vulgalour for finding a shop still listing some in stock.
Picked from my light reading today, here's some #VisibleMending tips fresh from 1879!
I feel like the bird's eye darning would look rather nice on a lot of things if done with contrasting and/or harmonising thread.
(The written explanation is honestly a bit scarce, but I've done my best to summarise it in the alt text.)
realizing I never shared this prototype. I'm working on a game? a toy? a thing based on polishing objects. trying to capture the calm I feel while doing dishes or vacuuming, or maybe make a digital ADHD stim widget.
click and drag the background to rotate, scrub the object to polish. best on mobile.

Yesterday, while I was sitting at lunch, I decided to open the Apple news app and see what was going on in the world. Mostly I wanted to find out what was going on with open AI and all the chaos there. But, as I scrolled my way down the screen I found crossword puzzles in the Apple news app. I thought, I'm sure it's not accessible but hey, I'm doing nothing anyway so I should check it out. it couldn't be as accessible as the app called Four Down, which is a very nice crossword puzzle app that I purchased several years ago. You can buy packs of puzzles, but once they're solved, that's it. So, I opened up the easy puzzle and started to work. What do you know! It tells me what the clue is how many blanks there are and then I can just start typing what I think it is. Then, I can hit the options button and turn on the puzzle checker and see if my answers are correct. I'm still fiddling with it, but I'm very, very excited that it is out of the box accessible, so to speak. There is usually one shorter puzzle and one longer one that's a bit harder. If anybody else has Apple news, feel free to let me know if you've tried out the crossword puzzle section.
Here are a couple of poetry special offers for you on Black Friday.

Strega Nona has been one of my favorite #KidLit characters since I was small. She lives with Bambolona & Big Anthony. Everyone assumes they are Strega Nona’s kids, but they meet & form a family over many books. I love this example of a Family of Choice, aka Found Family
