I've just received what are nominally 170 hooks and eyes (different sizes and colours)
The fact that I'm postponing counting them individually until the late afternoon (because I have other things to do with a higher priority) is a clear sign that I'm evidently not a #vampire, right?

I'm experimenting a bit with alternate shapes for the dice, the coin-like ones work decently, but they get mistaken for the main game pieces when getting the game out of the box, and they also roll around quite a bit.

e oggi la giornata è iniziata in #posta, dove devo essere felice che mi abbiano detto subito che non potevano fare la pratica perché mancava l'impiegato che se ne occupa, anziché tenermi allo sportello per mezz'ora per poi dirmi di tornare alla mattina quando c'è l'impiegato che se ne occupa, come era successo settimana scorsa.
vogliamo scommettere che settimana prossima, quando mi han garantito che rientra, in realtà non sarà rientrato perché durante le ferie si è ammalato?

sooooo, some time ago my mother bought a cut of silk satin fabric for a shawl/scarf/foulard and afterwards discovered it had some elastane in it, which makes it pretty hell to work with.
Of course I had to cut it to size, because she sews but is afraid to cut things, and that's fine, I knew it was going to happen.
But why is that cut of fabric currently in my lap, being hemmed by hand?
And while I like it, it's not really my style, so I'm probably not even going to steal it after it's finished.

Today I was browsing through #fashionPlates from the #1890s as one does, and I stumbled on this
libmma.contentdm.oclc.org/digi…
(the linked plate has a depiction of a 1890s style dress in pale red fabric with blue/green/yellow lines forming *big* squares (~20 cm?); the skirt is typical for the era, the jacket has the expected big sleeves, plus a very triangular capelet and a skirt that reaches just past the hips and ends in two sharp points in the front. There is also a blue belt, and blue cuffs and collars. The model is also carrying a parasol that looks more like a pointy stick)
And now I can't stop thinking of that dress in grey/silvery lurex fabric, on a #1960s sci-fi spaceship.
If i didn't have more projects than time (many of which are also going to be used way more) I would consider doing this :D
Oh gosh, I'm thinking of a whole cast for a a show or a film - doing 1890s fashion, but it's all in metallic or neon fabrics, maybe even UV colour-shift fabrics too (I'm sure a major production could get hold of that stuff again).
If people from that time got access to those fabrics you just know they'd have done it. Maybe with a lot more questionable colour combinations than now, but they'd absolutely have gone for metallic everything, glitter Lurex everything...
(On the one hand, it's always disappointed me a little that the RDR2 devs seem to have avoided or understated the main elements of 1890s women's fashion, but on the other I can see how it could've been a struggle to keep the giant sleeves from looking too comical in-game.)

I'm actually not sure whether I'll go fully #1890s with this jacket (with moderation :D) or I'll keep the sleeves fitting: I'll decide after I've sewed a mock-up.

@MagdoLena9 lol, no, that would be too easy :D
I'm drafting them from period instructions, or rather I drafted them from period instructions in summer 2021, made one mockup and then put them on hold because I wasn't sure about the fabric to use and I had more urgent projects.

sewing group reshared this.
@Rivikah the first mockup I did, after following the drafting instructions was pretty fitting.
For the second attempt I enlarged them (and then I didn't do the second mockup).
Now, they are below-the-knee length, so each leg is just above 80 cm long and it would probably fit on the fabric (there is some leeway because it's the leftovers from the jacket, it's not a straight cut).
The two leg sides for the wider version are not going to fit on the fabric side by side, but the original one may, maybe, possibly with a tiny bit of piecing, or by using the wiggle room.
I would have to be creative with the waistband, but I think I can get the various facings etc. from the jacket scraps, probably, maybe.
First I'll finish the jacket, so if disasters happen I have a safety net to recut pieces, and if I find I need something more for the accessories I can get it.
But afterwards, if I still have this much fabric, I can probably try it.
Unless I get other ideas.

Almost all of the fabric (main, lining, interfacings) has been cut.
Now I should be basting all pieces together with their interfacing and linings, but that requires being at the table, and this evening I'm attending fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-cra… and need something to do in front of the computer, so I've started working on one of the plastrons, the one with soutache decorations.
And now I'm asking myself: why can't I accept a soutache decoration where the braid is placed on top of previous parts of the braid? why do I have to insist on it being a proper knot? :D

For Christmas (actually it arrived in my hands on the evening of the 30th) I've received a very beautiful handcrafted #dipPen and yesterday I tried it.
The first surprise is that the nib (which they declare is a vintage one from the early 1900s) seems to be glued inside the pen. waitwhat? Don't they know that nibs get ruined with use and have to be changed?
Oh, well, I've tried it with my fancy nib test setup¹ and it's a beautiful fine/extrafine flexible nib that writes smoothly. Sadly I can't know which nib it is, but I guess that when it will get worn down I can try to pry it out and find out.
And then in the package there was a small bottle of black ink. That I tried with my fancy ink test setup² and was really horrible and hard to use even with a rigid nib, never mind the flexible one on the pen.
And ok, I get it that most people who buy a souvenir pen at a tourist attraction (like this one was) do so to keep it unused, but really, it's a pen, it's a tool! why can't they make a tiny bit of effort of making it usable for the few people who would want to actually try to use them³? It wouldn't take much, just a cheap off-brand german fountain pen ink (maybe they require too high a quantity to allow for rebranding? but there must be a solution that is still cheap)
This way they are going to spread the myth that writing was really hard in the past and we have to be thankful for having ballpoint pens (UGH), and discouraging young people who may have shown interest in writing with the tools that are actually nice to use!
And now, off to check whether that ink is usable on fancy paper, because this specific kit. WILL. BE. USED!⁴ :D
¹ a random scrap of paper and cheap but trustworthy Pelikan 4001 black ink.
² a consistent piece of the same printer paper (not fancy, but known to work decently with average liquid inks) and a variety of nibs (rigid extrafine, lettering, flexible)
³ I mean, other than the enthusiasts who are already well equipped with their own favourite inks, fancy paper and everything :D
⁴ At least the pen. the ink is probably not worth too much effort, except as much as I'm having fun being stubborn over it :D
reshared this
It's sounding like it might not even be proper fountain/dip pen ink at all.
Out of curiosity, what's the consistency like? What's it doing when you try to use it?
@Mre. Dartigen [maker mode] yeah, that's also what I'm suspecting, that they've taken a random cheap liquid ink and bottled that.
and it's very liquid, spreading out (and down to the other side) as soon as it gets close to the paper.
I told a fountain pen user friend of mine about this and he told me of an even worse story: his first *fountain pen* came with a bottle of ink. luckily the shop he bought it from knew what he was selling, and also gave him a bottle of cheap pelikan 4001 and the recommendation to never use the ink from the box, because it wasn't fountain pen ink. it was for dip pens only. The kind that will clog and ruin a fountain pen.
At least, if you put something inadequate in a kit with a dip pen you have to make a really huge effort to ruin it.
Today I unexpectedly received a box of #ArtSupplies. I had sent the order on boxing day, expecting it to arrive next year, and I hadn't received any notification of it being sent.
Anyway, one of the things in the box is a big (A2) picture frame. I distinctly remember putting it in the chart months ago after carefully measuring *something* (possibly it was two or more matching somethings), so I kept it in the chart when ordering thinking “oh, well, while I wait for it to arrive I will see the thing(s) around the house and remember why I bought it”.
so... any suggestion on what was supposed to go into it? it's probably not something I painted, since I mostly do A6 or smaller, and it's definitely something that I already have.
YES! I've found what it was!
It wasn't two big things, it was 12 small things! the pages of a desktop calendar with cat drawings!
now I can sleep and not lie in bed thinking about it :D (ok, I don't think I would have done it. maybe. not the whole night, at least)
Now, the real question is: does the Descriptivism flag that I keep waving have a specific shape, or everybody uses a different one as long as it has a few features among:
* rectangular in shape;
* made of shapes in bold distinctive colours;
* with a more complex design in the middle;
* insert other typical flag features here :D
Ma la vera domanda è: la bandiera Descrittivista che continuo a sventolare ha un disegno specifico, oppure ciascuno ne usa una diversa purché riporti alcune caratteristiche a scelta tra:
* ha forma rettangolare;
* è fatta di forme in colori distintivi;
* con uno stemma più complesso al centro;
* aggiungere qui altre caratteristiche tipiche delle bandiere :D
Now, the question is: is this Mazzini or Vetinari?

#mastoTip On the fediverse, nothing punishes you for adding links to your toots.
And you don't even need to shorten them: mastodon counts all links as if they had the same (small) number of characters, no matter how long it is.
So, if you're talking about something, *do* post a link to it, don't force people to google for it and hope they're getting the right result!
Some caveats.
* Check the rules of your instance: some of them don't allow links to proprietary social networks, or to commercial services, or they may have other custom restrictions.
* Speaking of commercial services, even if it doesn't violate the rules of your instance, if everything you do on the fediverse is posting spammy links to your own commercial service people will block you, but the usual practice in most parts of the fediverse is that sporadic links to your own commercial things among other things are fine, or even welcome if you are a small artisan selling the things they make or something similar.
* Some platforms may show a preview of the link, so please add CWs as appropriate.

After trying some materials I had at home and not finding anything satisfying, I did a panic buy of #macrame cord to be used in the drawstring backpacks I'm making as gift wrappers, from an online shop.
Since I was already late and didn't have time to get another delivery if the one I bought didn't work, I selected a few different types, just to be sure.
Of course, the type I had most hope for worked just fine, so now I have ~100 m balls of 3 different types of macramé cords I don't have a project for.
Right now I should be finishing my breakfast, taking care of the laundry and finishing the last drawstring backpack.
Can you guess what I'm doing instead?
Why, of course I'm attempting a macramé chatelaine bag.
No, I'm not using a pattern.

I believe I've done something wrong, since I've used way more rope than the internet tells me is typical for an average project, so I'll either have a lot of leftovers, or a result that is denser than usual.
As a learning thing, I'm fine with either.

@zephyr my default giftwrapping solution are furoshiki: cut a square of fabric, hem the borders, wrap and knot it around the gift, and then it can be reused in a lot of ways.
Unless I'm feeling lazy, and I buy dishcloths that are already hemmed, and will be reused as dishcloths or small tablecloths :D

How to program an attiny85 from arduino ide, in linux.
Having looked at many instruction on the internet, those are the more complete (and working) I have found:
gist.github.com/Ircama/22707e9…

1) open Arduino Ide from your preferred linux distro (mine is debian/testing)
2) File -> Preferences -> Additional Board Manager Url
3) add this link raw.githubusercontent.com/Armi…
4) ok
5) Tools -> Board Manager, add Digistump AVR Boards
6) Tools -> Board -> Digistump AVR Boards -> Digistump
Now it's all classic "Verify" "Upload" steps to program the attiny85

I've decided I need to do something vaguely useful with a few microcontroller boards I have, use some of the simple ESP8266 ones to collect temperature and humidity data from various rooms of the house to a MQTT server, collect that data in a RRD and show the current values on an epaper panel together with the current time and weather forecast.
Current status is:
* the MQTT server at home is no longer working (uops, that's why I wasn't receiving other unrelated notifications. I believe I know what the reason is, and how to solve it, but not today. I have mosquitto installed also on the laptop and that one is working)
* the python library I wanted to use to read data from MQTT is broken in debian testing (bug opened at the end of november)
* I can't find the ESP8266 boards. I know that they are around here somewhere, but WHERE???
diorama ١٣١٢ (demm/ihn) reshared this.
Then, with the board nicely sitting on a breadboard, a stable 3.3V and no ratnest of jumper cables I've seen that the code I wrote last week works: the board turns on, connects and sends the temperature and humidity data from the DHT22 on mqtt, sets a timer and goes into deep sleep.
As long as you don't use Serial.flush(); before going into deep sleep, otherwise it will hang on it until it *gets* a serial, or something, and it will not have a serial while running on battery (uooops).
(yes, the DHT22 seems to be working fine on 3.3V, probably as long as it's close enough to the board that the voltage isn't dropping. and I'm not going to have 5V while on battery, so 3.3V it is)
rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua reshared this.
The Bag of Random Sensors that had the DHT22 also gifted me with 3 (THREE!) BMP280 (temperature and atmospheric pressure, I2C or SPI).
While playing with them I've learned:
* The #esp32c3 can use #i2c on any pin; the default I believe is 8 and 9, but they are also used while programming, so meh
* You can change the i2c pins in #arduino by calling Wire.setPins(I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL); before any Wire.begin();
* There is an example sketch called Wire -> WireScan which scans for i2c devices (you will have to change it to use the pins you want to use with a call to Wire.setPins) which is a godsend.
reshared this
aaaand, temperature and pressure have been read.
for some reason, however, right now arduino isn't compiling the sketch twice in a row (with the error “panic: runtime error: index out of range [9] with length 9”).
But I'll look into it probably during the Christmas holidays, for today I'm ok with this.
oh, right. I was supposed to look into the arduino failures.
instead, I've looked a bit at the python side of things, and surprisingly what I did worked fine, even if it wasn't much.
The whole ESP32 family can do hardware I2C on most of their bidirectional GPIO pins. I2C is a relatively simple protocol that can be simulated in software on any GPIO pin on any MCU (FYI):
