I'm watching this thread because as many of you know, I deleted my FB page earlier this year. Right before my Craftsy class launched, I re-opened it, but Then deleted it again. It is so much work, and I have a love-hate relationship with FB. Even on my personal account.

But I am curious to see how the experiment goes.

I love this idea Kathleen! I plan to watch, and hopefully participate too!

@wendy-cholbi Wendy, it doesn't look like the font size has increased, at least on this forum. Maybe it didn't take here?

Thanks, Kimberley!

The first sweater is in stockinette with garter stitch edges, since I thought this would be the best way to get people comfortable with the idea of knitting a sweater. Knitting your first sweater with new stitches can be intimidating to some, so I'm looking at this somewhat simple sweater as a gateway drug 🙂 Future seasons…[Read more]

Thank you so much for this information! Very valuable and making me think that this might be something I need to do!

That is a great question, Libby, so thank you for giving me the push to clarify.

I plan to provide a complete, edited, ready-for-publication pattern to my customers who sign up for the newsletter, which they can use to knit the sweater on their own or with the encouragement of the podcast. No strings. I do need to figure out the logistics of…[Read more]

That's fantastic! What a great confidence boost!

A bug report: I got two notifications (and I know they are still in the threads here, by @wendy-cholbi and by @kimberley92988) but clicking on them gives me an error 404.

Everything is fixed now regarding the hyperlinks in the about me section. and thanks for adding the Ravelry and FitBit fields. 🙂

For everyone who mentioned font size, I increased the font size for forum posts so it's roughly the same as the font size on Tara's blog. Hopefully this will improve the readability of forum posts.

I know there are some other places in the forums that still have smaller font-size (such as when you're typing in the Reply field, the breadcrumbs,…[Read more]

@susan250701, my suggestion would be to print the whole thread as a PDF. This article from CNET is a few years old but describes the basics of printing/exporting as a PDF in a few different browsers, or you could Google the phrase “print a web page to a PDF in BROWSER” where you replace BROWSER with the name of the browser you're using, and…[Read more]

Ah, now I understand, @kimberley92988! It didn't occur to me that you might be treating the “Notify me…” box like a setting that you toggle on and off, rather than as part of the process of submitting a reply. It makes sense that you would expect it to work like the similarly located buttons on the Ning forum threads, so I'm sorry for the…[Read more]

So glad you figured it out, @karen — and this is also excellent data for future troubleshooting, so I appreciate you telling us that it was related to an ad-blocker. We can tell future Captains to adjust their ad-blocker settings if necessary. Thanks!

Is it possible add a thing so you can see whether someone has commented on a thread you're following – in the front page. The headings are great but grouping them together and only displaying the last person to have commented on any of them isn't terribly helpful. I'd quite like to see how many comments there have been since I last looked at the…[Read more]

that is weird – send some of that weirdness over this way will you?!
