knittingpixHello everyone!
I just wanted to say how excited I am that we've been getting a few more posts lately!
Since there was a request to add some tags, I went through the previous posts (all not-quite-fifty of them) and tagged them up a bit too - there are a LOT of wonderful pictures, and people should be able to find them. I hope nobody minds the new tags I've added, and I would also like some suggestions, mostly on what to call stuff.
1. I named one tag "mitts/wristwarmers", but I've included gloves and mittens and such as well, plus it's not a pretty name anyway. Pithy alternatives?
2. There are some projects that aren't scarves/shawls/sweaters/socks. Like a coffee-pot cosy, cat bed, mini sock keyrings, fish, stuffed animals... Do they all go under an "other" tag?
3. There are a few fan themed posts - Dalek hat, Vulcan hat, and a mini sock with the Death Eater skull. Would there be interest in a "fannish" tag, or is that just me being too intent on making everything findable?
4. Would it be helpful to add categories to the tags? Something like "type: scarves" and "technique: lace"? That way the tag list wouldn't just be alphabetical and chaotic anymore...
Apologies for the pictureless post - I'll be posting my pinkyarn noodles lace stole soon!

I'm all for a 'fannish' tag, maybe 'household' or 'toys' tags as well for things like tea cosies and so on. I also think a breakdown by category like type and technique would be a good idea, I think it would make it easier for anyone looking for those things in particular.

3. Fannish is a great idea for a tag.
4: Also a good idea. But it looks like that's already been implemented, so. :)
