This community is for all textiles/needlecrafts! However, it has a particular emphasis on:

Projects that incorporate multiple crafts (knitting/weaving/etc) in the same work.
People who do more than one kind of textile.
Questions/discussions that transcend any one specific craft.
Rare forms of textiles (nalbinding/kumihimo/etc) with too small a web presence to flourish in their own dedicated forum.

As in bi-stitch-ual. I didn't come up with it though, there's a very popular subreddit by that name, and one whose presence I've sorely missed since moving away. While there are already a bunch of needlecraft communities in the fediverse, as far as I could tell, most of them are dedicated to specific popular crafts (knitting/ crochet/ cross-stitch/etc). That leaves a void for folks interested in, say, ply-split braiding. Or combinations of crafts, like knitted garments with tatted trim.

Also, since PieFed isn't exactly a 1-for-1 Lemmy clone, I figured it could use some of it's own versions of communities anyway.

I think you'd be surprised! Honestly I would consider myself very much an amateur too. I'd love to see what you're working on, even if it is less ambitious. Those are the best projects to me because they're low stress.
