smallwebSomehow it's September already and the kick-off point for Small Web September has arrived! \o/
As a reminder, this is the first of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates of these posts over on the event intro. There’s no cut-off point for commenting on these, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on them all or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but all discussion is welcome.
This first post will be for introducing yourself and your project(s) and talking about what you’re planning to do during the month. Of course, there’s no obligation to stick to what you’ve set down and no-one will be checking up xD But it can be a nice thought exercise! You’re free to make the goal(s) as broad or as specific as you like – it’s totally up to you.
There’s no set format for this check-in, but here’s one you can use if you’d like (just copy-paste and replace the placeholders with your own answers in the comments):
Also, if anyone would like to answer it, here’s a discussion starter: What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it?

Date: 2024-09-03 09:25 am (UTC)Thank you so much for the love for my bracelets page ♥ (Amusingly this is not even the beginning of my braceleting adventures, but I have no pics of the previous decade lol, the archive starts when I joined a forum on the topic and began sharing my projects with other members!) One of the things I wanted for my craft archive was for it to be a central place to find back the patterns I used for all my projects, so if you ever decide to experiment more with friendship bracelets you can see the patterns I used =)

Date: 2024-09-03 12:00 pm (UTC)I'm afraid I don't, and I would like to know if anyone knows of any, too! I came across this directory last year and was keeping tabs on it, but it seems like nothing has developed since the initial suggestions post :(
That's awesome! I would really like that - I particularly love the sixth one down from 2024, the kind of twisty rainbow one. I also read your "how to friendship bracelet" guide and now I know about the magic of friendship-bracelets.net - what a brilliant resource! Do all your patterns come from there?

Date: 2024-09-03 12:37 pm (UTC)I started learning friendship bracelet with a book, so my first patterns came from there. Then I made up mine, and I joined a forum as mentioned above, so I made lots of patterns from this forum. All in all, I discovered and began to use friendship-bracelets.net relatively late. But patterns circulate a lot, get copied, modified, copied again, never credited... so given that most of the patterns I used where found in places that are not freely accessible (book, login-walled forum (in French!), etc), I mostly link to friendship-bracelets.net because most of the patterns are *also* there. But if you look in the patterns section of my site you'll see that I had to host quite a lot of patterns myself anyway because not *all* were on friendship-bracelets.net ^^
For example if you open the page of that rainbow bracelet that caught your eye, you'll see that I link to the pattern on my site! (And I understand why this pattern caught your eye, I wanted to make it for a while, but the pattern is not the easiest for beginners because it uses both traditional method and alpha method. I hope you can feel comfortable making it at some point though! ♥)
