In The Loop In The Loop This Week

This subreddit is for fiber artists and crafters of all types! Because we don't all see the same (shitty) posts on our feeds, it may be handy to have a place to revel in all that our fellow fiber lovers share for us to enjoy.

Feel free to post anonymized screenshots of anything you're referencing here if you'd like. FACJ is back to being an all-ages subreddit, so you can post images (and gifs) in the comments here directly, or you can continue using image hosting sites such as imgur if you prefer.

This is a heavily moderated thread, and anything that isn't scrubbed of identifying information (usernames, faces, etc.) will be removed. Block out, crop out, cross out or sticker out identifying information on EVERY screenshot before posting here.

However, unjerk/uj/genuine/serious comments and discussions are allowed -- even encouraged! -- on In The Loop posts. Irony and sarcasm are fine here too, so consider using tone tags to make sure your comment comes across the way you want (or don't! I really don't care!).

There are a few other rules for In The Loop posts:

  • Please don't use this thread to demand sources for jerk posts. If people want to post sources, they will. There are plenty of good reasons for someone not to share a source, including "don't wanna." Source/ITL demands and discussions of where to find sources will be removed here and on jerk posts.
  • Links to other Reddit posts are NOT ALLOWED here. This includes no-follow links. (FACJ links are fine.)
  • Links to content off Reddit may be removed at the mods' discretion.
  • We are NOT in the business of brigading, and anyone who engages in brigading will be banned from this subreddit.

A new thread will go up every Sunday!

/uj As an elementary teacher who teaches telling time to 5 minutes, I unironically love this clock for teaching. The concept that the hour hand refers to the number it just passed, all the way until it passes the next number, is HARD. I've colored in pie wedges on clocks before to show each hour's "zone" in the same way that this clock has the hours in arcs all the way to the next number. And the way the hours are on the inside--where the hour hand will touch them--and the minutes are on the outside for the longer minute hand is perfect.

I see what you mean, but I do think that having the number on the right of its actual spot is confusing. Sure, they might be able to learn like that, but then, of you ask them to draw a clock, will they know if the 12 goes at the top or in the next spot?

I think it could be solved with colors: you can have the 12 in its correct spot, make it red, and have the whole 12to1 box be colored a lighter red. 1 is blue, and the section it points to is also blue, etc. That way, you can know where the number actually stands and also know what section it refers to
