I have been on an adventure!
November updates are incoming, but I thought I should share this picture from the beginning of my journey and say how thankful I was that I had knitting on my six and a half hour train journey last week.
I forgot to take a picture at the other end, but Iâd basically finished this sock and was about to turn the heel on the next. Added to the fact that I fell asleep for about an hour and had a half-hour food break, that puts my sock speed at⊠maybe seven or eight hours per sock? Aye, Iâll take that.

âAs long as there has been knitting there have been battles about it. There are self-declared âyarn snobs,â who frown on using anything but natural fibers; âgauge snobsâ, who wouldnât be caught dead with chunky yarn; and âexperience snobsâ, who claim you canât declare yourself a real knitter until you abandon novelty yarns. The truth is that the knitting world is a tiny metaphor for the real world. It takes all kinds. I will not allow myself to feel bad if someone disapproves of my knitting. I will also resist the urge to stuff his mailbox full of chunky acrylic fun fur at 3:00 am.â
â stephanie pearl-mcphee, âat knits end: meditations for women who knit too muchâ
Today I found out that yarners think crocheting socks is subversive and controversial and I justâŠon one hand, why the fuck not, I guess yarners are allowed to have their controversies, but on the other, how much time do you have in your FUCKIN DAY??
My main concern is how they would feel but Maggie u know yarn fandom gotta think about something while knitting five miles of stockingnette for a sweater
Look, you canât just leave it at that, why is it subversive and controversial? *gets popcorn*
I mean, Iâm taking this on good faith, and Iâm not saying this is my own personal belief. I believe in all crafts.Â
ButâŠthe structure of the stitches and the resulting fabric is pretty different between crochet and knitting. You get different effects between them, which lends themselves to different crafts. And none of the effects of (most) crochet stitches lend themselves naturally to socks. Youâre (usually) going to end up with something either stiff and bulky, or full of holes that will Not Feel Good to walk on. Whereas knitted socks will justâŠBE elastic and comfortable.
Sure you CAN do it. And there are people and patterns that do it well!!
But MOST crochet socks are a bit like calling this a bicycle
I mean⊠Okay? But people are going to Talk.
But this is BABY controversy, this is nothing. You havenât even touched on the good shit like RHSS or that time the Olympic Committee dissed us.
Iiiinteresting. So one of those âjust because you CAN doesnât mean you SHOULDâ things.
Also I know very little about the yarn fandom except for that bit where a woman had to fake her death and had a nervous breakdown over selling homespun/dyed yarn so like, I already have big expectations.
Was that the one that âdiedâ of leukemia or the one that âdiedâ of lupus, or the one that overdosed?
From what I know of the narrative as it was described to me, I want to say the one that overdosed, but I am intrigued and vaguely concerned that there are multiple distinct individuals the above situation could apply to.
hey umm, what the fuck
the fake deaths thing: indie yarn dyer gets popular, gets overwhelmed by orders, canât refund money because of shitty bookkeeping, decides faking online death is the only way out.
iâm sure some of them are unintentional rather than premeditated scammers but theyâre all still thieving assholes who shouldnât be running businesses and need to give all the money back.
the olympics commitee: ravelry, well-known knitting (fiber arts in general) site, held a contest they called the âravelympicsâ to drum up olympic support then get a cease-and-desist letter for copyright infringement, and the letter said that calling it that âdenigrates the true nature of the Olympic Gamesâ and was âdisrespectful to our countryâs finest athletesâ
except, you know, ravelry had like 2 million users who all, by nature of ravelry being a website, have basic tech literacy. the social media backlash was so bad that the olympics board had to make 2 official apologies because the first wasnât good enough.
RHSS: Red Heart Super Saver is cheap Walmart-level yarn. some people hate it because it used to be just really fucking awful and they havenât bothered updating their opinions. some people hate it because they hate non-natural yarns. some people hate it because theyâre yarn snobs(which, btw, comes in two flavors: the disdainful assholes and the people who just donât see the point if you have the money and donât indulge yourself). a lot of people defend it because itâs cheap and widely locally available and honestly not that bad after a wash and some fabric softener.
crocheted socks: exactly what kaitoukitty said. people who crochet socks tend to either be new crocheters who are not aware crochet is not the best medium for socks or experienced crocheters who are pushing the boundaries of the medium.
babies on fire: i canât believe weâre talking about yarncraft controversies and no one mentioned babies on fire. thatâs my favorite controversy.
so when deciding what material to make baby blankets out of, in addition to considerations like softness, ease of washing, and allergy concerns quite a lot of people like to consider what would happen to the baby if the blanket was set on fire. yes, really.
wool has the problem of hand-wash only blankets for a new mother (superwash wool exists but thatâs a whole ânother paragraph), allergy concerns, and also real fucking expensive if you want quality not-itchy-on-baby-skin wool. but pro-wool-blanket people insist that because wool actually resists being set on fire pretty well and also can self-extinguish, itâs the only sensible choice.
acrylic on the other hand is cheap and you can throw it in the washing machine, and while bad quality acrylics might be stiff and plastic-y theyâre not itchy, but if it gets set on fire it will melt onto the babyâs skin. pro-acrylic people insist that if your blanket is on fire, you probably have bigger problems than what the blanket is made of.
wow I didnât expect such a detailed response. thank you!
Fiber Arts Just Be Fucking Like That.
Every single interest a human could possibly have has a clique developed around it. Thereâs yarn snobs, sewing machine snobs, beer snobs, cloth diaper snobs, camera snobs, coffee snobs, pet snobsâŠ.the list goes on and on. Basically, most people are tremendously insecure and have been subconsciously taught that the only way to bolster oneself is to exclude and drag others. Do what you want. You like that cheap yarn? Go on and use it. Wanna make crochet socks (because you canât knit or for literally any other reason including you just want to)? Go for it, itâs been done, Ravelry has some cute patterns that work really well. If you like something, especially if it fosters your creative drive, donât you DARE let snooty assholes ruin it.
P.S. Iâve tried a lot of the things people insist are Your Only Good Option and 9 times out of 10 Iâm not impressed. Sometimes the hype completely supersedes the Malabrigo yarn, the Featherweight sewing machine, the Goodmama diaper, etc. etc.
