In Canada, it's the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, honouring children who never returned home; residential school Survivors; and their families & communities. We're highlighting some relevant resources & indigenous makers. We encourage checking out these links: #NDTR

@ruthferrisprice We didn't have the volunteer cycles this year for games on Twitter, but we are having them on Discord and Mastodon! You can see more info about what we're doing where this year at fastenoffyal.com/where.html - hope that helps!

@FastenOffYAL Are there any quizzes or pattern hunts this year on Twitter? Thank you x

A reminder to independent designers that the #FastenOffYAL sign-up period for this year's event is in progress! Head over to fastenoffyal.com/signup.html to see all our info for designers, including a link to the sign-up form.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT - We're now into the final 24 hours when you can sign up as a participating designer in the 2023 #FastenOffYAL - don't miss it! #knitting #crochet #loomKnitting #TunisianCrocheet

The last day to sign up is Sunday, November 19 (ET), but the earlier you sign up, the more chill the onboarding process is going to be, :) so you'll probably like it better if you don't wait until the last minute. We hope to see you there! #FastenOffYAL

Designers can interact with our community directly in a friendly environment, on a variety of online channels! And this year we're again planning to promote #FastenOffYAL designers with online 'meet the designer' events, like Ask Me Anythings (AMAs) and video panel chats.
