Day 7 of #FiberArtCamp is #ReflectionSunday and the last day of camp. I learned some things about myself and Mastodon, and made some new friends.

I sometimes feel like I don’t finish most things I start and feel pretty bad about that. Not just fiber arts but everything in life. Responding to the prompts made me think about all my crafts and acknowledge that even if that may be true (and I have no good way to objectively measure) I have made a great many knitted and crocheted things over the years, and my life is enriched by them. And what’s more I love the process of making and should probably take more WIP photos.

The camp hashtags helped me find the fiber art community on Mastodon. It’s the first time since I started being active here in Nov ‘22 that I have felt the things I post found their audience.

Reading other’s responses was a pleasure, too, and I think I followed a dozen new people. My feed has a lot more craft photos in it, which is a joy.

#FiberArtCamp - it's the last day, #ReflectionSunday and time to say farewell, at least to the hashtag! I don't normally take part in things like this, but this week has been lots of fun, and there's been some wonderful posts.

Thanks to @madgeface for organizing everything, and thanks to everyone who has taken part and shared their work.

#reflectionsunday #fiberartcamp #fiberart This week I met a bunch of new to me artists , and discovered I don't follow enough people to see the prompts for this kind of event. Thanks for organizing it.
I will drop in a final picture of a challenge piece I did a few years ago, to show that I also sew and make handbags.

Well here we are at #ReflectionSunday on our #FiberArtCamp and it has been a good and wholesome week with positive vibes from lots of other #crafters and #makers. I have met great new accounts and had good chats with those who are fast becoming friends. Thanks @madgeface for the idea. 👏👏👏🧶🧶🧶

Final day of #FiberArtCamp. It's that bittersweet day when we're all piling on the buses that send us to the far flung places we call home. Though we all promise to meet again next summer! And we can write letters (or toots I guess) all year!
On this #ReflectionSunday I want to appreciate all the incredible people that shared their passion and their projects. Thank you @madgeface for prompting us.

#FiberArtCamp #ReflectionSunday What did I learn? There's a lot more to fiber arts than just knitting and crochet! Who did I meet? So many cool artists: weavers, spinners, knitters, archaeologists, needle felters, quilters, and on and on! Thanks for doing this @madgeface !

It's already the last day of #FiberArtCamp. So let's look back on #ReflectionSunday

What did I learn? A new way to keep spare yarn for possible future repairs. Just make a small braid and weave it at some invisible place into your project. A seam, an edge that will not be seen. I already sew a spare button into cardigans, but never thought about doing so with yarn.

Might not work with easy feltable / fullable yarns like certain wools.

Who did I meet? My follow list grew a lot.
