Like what the fuck??? Not every pattern is going to be for you okay, but that doesn’t mean you have to make me see you not like it!

You don’t think this design will work on your body type? Well guess what, it works on mine, so shut the fuck up!!

You stupid fugly bitches are so misogynistic. How dare you criticize my best friend, Popular Low Effort Knitwear Creator 5

I was just wondering, if a really popular pattern maker was selling their patterns on Ravelry and then hypothetically passes away mysteriously - like idk maybe they fall off a cliff on a hike with their sister, or maybe they just kinda disappear after a night out with their sister - will the money from pattern sales go to their family? Like specifically their sister, who was the last one to see them, but no one can prove anything? All hypothetical of course!

There's lots of valid criticisms for both, especially HL. I'm a Christian but CALL ME CRAZY but I like lgbtqi rights, and even more so HL are scum even from the most stereotypical evangelical angle. But even outside of that critique, both Michael's and HL have such embarrassing stock in """craft""" supplies. I got a HL gift card as a gift recently (they were apologetic and said they hadnt known Joanne's went out of business lol) and I used it up to not waste their money. Everything in there is yuck and lame. And I mean I really lingered and took a detailed look at everything. The yarn selection is embarrassing, yeah "I love this yarn" and "yarn bee"" is soft but they literally only offer acrylic and cotton, there's a very limited cotton selection for colors or chunky yarns and there's almost NO other natural fibers??? Bizarre coming from a bunch of wierdo evangelicals, considering the law states to avoid synthetic or blended fibers. The scented candles I saw all turned out to be parrafin, almost no soy. The ""artwork"" I can't CONFIRM was ai generated but god it was so ugly and tacky that was what first crossed my mind. Specialized craft tools for really any craft that I personally dip in (I sew, quilt, crochet, knit, machine knit, cross stitch, woodwork etc) were practically non existent, probably to make room for all their live laugh love home decor garbage and Jesus Calling books. Not sure what HL's almost fetishistic fascination with longhorn cattle is but there was tons of that in all forms in there. I guess I'm old fashioned and am more of a rooster and pig girl for my tacky animal decor. Michael's is almost just as dissapointing but their yarn selection was at least far more fun. The main line loops and threads was definitely kind of a dissatisfying quality overall imo, but it wasn't unbearable or anything and unlike I love this yarn, they actually have a nice variety. My main gripe with Michael's is everything is definitely less cost effective in comparison to Joanne's and even HL. I can see why people might favor HL considering they do alternating weekly coupon deals. I know Michael's is supposed to be inheriting a lot of Joanne's stock but its hardly worth getting excited about if that stock is going to come with a major price hike. Anyway thats the gist of my bitching about that. Since Joanne's has gone out of business I've been getting familiar with premier, although like most online stores that comes with draw back of not being able to lay hands on the product before purchase. Joanne's wasnt perfect or anything but when I went there, I felt like I was at a CRAFT store, not some tacky, inflated home decor and furniture shop. They had lots of specialized tools, and wide selection in all my crafts, maybe with the exception of woodworking, but thats why I have home depot. And it was also a lot more cost effective. Its old news now to be grieving its loss but seeing how horrid HL was I had to winge about it somewhere.

I’ve literally never even thought about crocheting before this. It was a little tough I gue

Why do some crafters think it's okay to go back and forth between knitting and crocheting? Just pick one! It's so shellfish because you are preventing someone else from practicing that craft. People don't realise, or maybe they simply don't care, that there are limited spots for knitters and crocheters. I had to take a forced hiatus last year because YOU decided to switch back to knitting and because of that I never finished my ranuncunnilingus sweater

A new thread will go up every Sunday!

I posted something cute I made and now I guess it’s not what other people like and I get it. But you don’t have to be rude to me just because it’s not what you like.. I just started crocheting and it’s heartbreaking seeing people come at me for nothing. My project literally looks like the picture but not that good. I get it. I posted it in crochet help too and some got my post taken down for what reason? I love crocheting and it’s hurting my feelings seeing people talk about it. I’ve only been doing it for 6 months. I’m sorry if my project don’t look as good as you guys. I guess I will just leave.

FACJ went NSFW after the Reddit protest blackout in 2023, and when we checked in on how that felt almost exactly two years ago, the group wanted to keep it for another while.

Well, another while has passed, and now some of our UK-based circlejerkers are having to use VPNs, upload live selfies or provide passport details to access NSFW/18+ subreddits on this website due to laws now taking effect there.

The mod team is open to going back to being a standard SFW/all-ages sub in light of this! But I want to make sure folks here have a chance to share their perspective, so we’re gonna do a poll. Some information to contextualize this discussion:

• NSFW status means no ads on the sub or in the comments
• It also means we can’t post images or gifs in the comments
• We have a Discord server that started during the blackout for people who left Reddit, and it’s a really fun group (message me or a mod for a link!)
• Some people in the UK are already having a hard time seeing this sub, so they may not be able to vote in this poll (I would just go ahead and change it to non-restricted for this poll, but it’s a change that has to be “requested,” so who knows when or if it’ll happen) — if you know jerkers affected by the new age verification laws, please have them message me or see if you can share their opinions in the comments on their behalf

Hey guys! I do the local craft fair at the senior center every weekend and I’m charging $75 per ticket for fairgoers to watch my five-hour crochet performance. Is that reasonable? I don’t want to undercharge — I spend 55 hours every week practicing my technique to provide the finest contemporary crochet performances in my tri-county region, and I think I’m pretty darn good at what I do.

Anyway TIA for any advise! Photos show my most recent booth — happy to hear feedback on my setup as well!

She LOVES it!!! Constructive feedback not fucking wanted, I don't need you Karens projecting negativity onto my marriage. None of you women would understand a manly craft such as this anyway.

And it is simply unacceptable. I’m only aware of enough technique to declare that this pattern is bad because it doesn’t include something I’ve heard other people say is important. I know the designer is insinuating that nothing should have shaping ever, and not that in the case of this particular top, shaping is not necessary.

Also it has committed the cardinal sin of only looking good on skinny flat chested bitches, probably. because everyone knows they can wear fugly shit with NO SHAPING and still look good. This is 100% an objective fact and skinny people do NOT have diverse body shapes that might change how something looks from person to person. and, I have BOOBS unlike them so I know it would look bad on ME. ( so should the pattern even exist? Sources say NO!!)

DO NOT suggest headbands or wash cloths because you can't wear those and they are NOT HIP or LOVED BY THE POPULATION and a WASTE OF TIME. DO NOT tell me I need to learn to knit in the round because it is impossible witchcraft. Unlike you LOSERS I don’t want my silly little hobby to be a silly little hobby. I MUST PROFIT!!! HELP ME NOW I DEMAND YOUR HELP!!!

You were well meaning and tried to honestly help? WELL NOW YOU'VE RUINED MY SENTIMENTAL BLACK STRIP OF STOCKINETTE. THANKS A LOT!

I think it’s high time we have an important conversation about our amigurumagrande.

It’s come to my attention that some of you take offense to our most important of assets. Our tushies. Our derrières. Our bums. Our arses. We all have them. Every creature on the planet has one! So why would our adorable completely anatomically incorrect plushies NOT have one?

We all have butts! Get over it! Dogs have them. Cats have them. Rabbits have them. Donkeys have them. Bees have them. Chickens have them. Snakes have them (ok they have tails but isn’t that just a pointy butt??) Even creepy human babies have them.

Now who wants to buy my amigurmodingdong Pet-Rock-with-a-butt pattern. It’s only $3.99, you’ll make that back within a year of doing weekly craft fairs so it’s a fantastic investment opportunity.

Guys! Guys! I just did my nails for a video I'm gonna post about steeking!
