Oh dear, the downfalls of loving our pups.

Thanks. I'll try that.

How many years?

A ball of handspun singles with two ends coming out of the top and bottom ready to ply. The strand toward the top of the photo shows over twisted singles that are curly and tangled. The ball is blues and purples in real life the colours are turquoise. The ball is sat on a pale turquoise/grey fabric.

Plying from a cake. Not enjoying the process...

When I really need to start a bew project to get me interested in ones I already have on the go....but I don't have the brainpower to try a new pattern, I make something I've made before (a long time ago so it feels new)

E.R. Upstairs Downstairs, Moll Flanders and her general pressence.

When writing alt text, focus on what's truly important. In an image with text about a canceled event, the borders of the image are not nearly as vital as conveying that this event is now canceled. A decorative border can be mentioned, but it's not the most important element; the cancellation is.

How many times do i have to tell Bluesky that I don't want to see certain types of post? Does the "show less of this" option actually work?

What yarn are you using for the jumper?

Ok, but having a general description of the photo would be appreciated

How long is it?

Please can you add alt text to all of your images. I think these are colourwork but can't quite see what the patterns are.

If your organization has Slack, Teams, or any other messaging program, you should have a dedicated accessibility chat. This would be a great way for everyone on your team to learn together by sharing links, posing questions, and reviewing alt text, among other things.

A photo of a handdyed braid of wool. It is plaited and arranged in a spiral. The colours are grey, pale pink, magenta pink and lilac purple. It is sitting on a royal blue background.

A photo looking down on 2 blended batts arranged in a ball. Both are sitting on vertical wooden slats of a bench. The top ball is mainly pinks, the bottom is greys and purples.

Sometimes I buy a cheaper braid of handdyed fibre because I want to make a blend. I bought this from Millhouse Designs on etsy. I split the braid into its separate colours. One blend used the purples and greys, the other the pinks.

Please can you add alt text to all of your images? I don't know what you're referring to, but am intrigued

I tie different coloured ribbons to them so i know which is what

Thank you very much for so much info in the alt text

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

That's really clever

Ooh. Which shop?

Please can you add alt text to all of your images. Especially explaining the wall of skeins in this photo.

A photo of 4 handspun skeins of yarn. On a pale turquoise background. The far left is a pale purple, then a dark purply brown with olive greens, a darker burgundy, the largest skein on the right is a mix of browns.

I have chosen my skei s for a new project. All of these are my own handspun. These are the dyers I bought the braids from; left to right: Penberth Yarns
