[Knitting] Cascade Yarns donations to MAGA - I guess we just can't have literally anything...

Sigh

Caletara

omg gross

Reading the comments apparently the owner of Cascade also shit talks crochet and only wants ttheir yarn used for 'proper crafts' like knittiing???

WHY IS EVERY HOBBY INSANE

what the fuck???

and Cramble Grenton too in case you're interested

Like I'm not surprised, there was that whole fiasco with the far right TERF knitting blog. which ironically I think was called BLOCKED.

because they were being cancelled on other platforms for their views.

or whatever

and needed a 'safe space' to spew their bile

why is it always the shitty anti-free speech people who need safe spaces?

they're just that fragile

Oh, that's shitty. :C

I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT SOME CASCADE UGH

Cascade is the cheapest "good" yarn around. which is unfortunate.

I've heard good stuff about valley farms. And when I signed up for the WEBS knitting retreat I think I get a swag bag with some samples.

i'll let you guys know

actually usually i like Cascade but the merino/nylon blend i bought is awful, i'd never get it again

eugh. oh no.

UGH!

you'd think if any hobby was safe from insanity it'd be knitting, but alas /:

I think the weirdest hobby related thing I've ever encountered is I used to have a live 50 gallon brackish aquarium (live plants/wood/whole ecosystem thing) and I was at the local aquarium store and they had kicked a guy out who wasn't allowed to come back because he had found some passage in the bible about not keeping fish and kept harassing them.

it was exceptionally bizarre

but knitting is apparently a dumpster fire if you're actually in any communities.

I'm excited to see the chat during my fiber retreat. I'll keep you guys posted on juicy gossip

wtf @ bible fish guy

isn't like half the bible dedicated to catching and eating fish

anyway, please do, I enjoy hobby gossip even for hobbies I'm not in

i think that was the problem? keeping them as pets and not eating them was a perversion?

i think???? im not 100% on his mantras.
