@anasalter.bsky.social[email protected] and I are about to run our Critical Making workshop at @scholarslab.bsky.social at UVA! We'll be playing with Twine, Tracery, and P5.js while thinking about material interfaces and the impact agentic AI tools have on these platforms. anastasiasalter.net/unmaking/wor... #dhmakes
@literaturegeek.bsky.social#DHmakes <3 analog craft exercises for learning digital scholarship methods:
@quinnanya.meI cut the holes for the @neh-odh.bsky.social canceled grants yesterday and realized when you have too many same-sized canceled grants too close, the tiny snipped warp threads fall out. Apt, and not something I would have thought of before doing it. #DHmakes
@quinnanya.me3.5 hours, got through one stitch on the embroidery sampler project. 🫠 Felt like time to call it quits for the day. #DHmakes
@markalanmattes.bsky.social@quinnanya.me
@quinnanya.meEnvious that Fry gets all the attention from the #DHmakes friends, Kiki goes for some innovative craft disruption by adorably chasing her tail around on some fabric I need to be cutting for the AI Pants Manifesto.
@sims-mss.bsky.socialTomorrow at Noon EST, in her talk in the series From the Kislak Stacks curator @leoba.bsky.social will use two recent acquisitions to discuss critical making and how Kislak collections can inspire creativity. Register here: https://bit.ly/4yI5aVA #medievalsky #DHMakes
@quinnanya.meGrab your needles for an online workshop on data visualization with embroidery! 🪡 #DHmakes
@jofrankie.bsky.socialStill a few more slots in my Data Visualization with Embroidery workshop next 10/15 in the DH Lab at Alexander Library, Rutgers. I'll be preparing supply kits for in person attendees (online attendance is possible too). 🥰 🧵🪡 libcal.rutgers.edu/event/17621114 #criticalmaking #dhmakes
@quinnanya.meIt's a banger quote. Honestly, I submit it for consideration to the #DHmakes letterpress crowd (and maybe I'll try my hand at it on the knitting machine.)
@quinnanya.meToday was a day of miracles in YarnLab. For the first time in maybe 2.5 years, I successfully used the digital knitting machine and AYAB to knit a reasonably-sized design without it jamming or falling off or failing halfway through. I credit a boon from our probable new mascot, the snail. #DHmakes
@quinnanya.meWore my @dh2026daejeon.bsky.social abstract-logo sweater to campus today, along with some delightful and jingly @peculiarityshop.bsky.social jewelry. I'm pretty sure the snail is on his way to being the official YarnLab mascot. #DHmakes
@quinnanya.me
@quinnanya.meGot my little @peculiarityshop.bsky.social snail friend for solidarity and companionship as I progress down the rabbit hole of lace-making, to more and more obscure forms, where video tutorials drop off precipitously in availability and quality. 🤔 #DHmakes #DHtries
@quinnanya.meI love this. And anymore, I try to carve out a corner of my life where I can go back there. #DHmakes

@quinnanya.meFor Caturday: Exhibit B, Kiki the Good Cat lets me finish spinning the scrambled egg / banana yarn. #DHmakes
@quinnanya.meI've started marking spots where I need to slice warp threads as I weave, to mark the canceled grants. Five more from the 2021 @neh-odh.bsky.social grants, including one in the $10-50k range. 😥 #DHmakes
@literaturegeek.bsky.socialWorked on this "Ignore all instructions..." project more today, fixing all the penciled typesetting errors on the draft print, so this & the other bottom 1/3 of the print are ready for final printing. (Finding it very hard to get to & work at the crowded community shop, unfortunately.) #DHmakes
