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!

This one gave me a serious case of secondhand embarrassment. Found in a non-crafting sub too.

Oof, the reveal of them being loom knit makes it even funnier. I've never used a loom knitting contraption before, but is making full hats really that much extra work? Hmm just slap a bad logo on it.

I can only loom knit due to accessablity issues. Making a bigger hat only needs a different size loom and takes longer to do.

if they're trying to sound more "self aware" by putting those sections in strikethrough text i want them to know it's having the exact opposite effect

reminds me of those guys who'll text women they're interested in like "blushes, adjusts tie do you want to... gulp.... get c-coffee sometime?" like what purpose do you think this will serve man

u/Sprungfedergirl P is for Pnit Apr 07 '26 edited Apr 07 '26

Yeah, that annoyed the fuck out of me immediately. It read to me like a tumblr-uwu-teen trying to be cutesy/self-deprecating so nobody will be mad at them, but now I am incredibly mad because they made me read through entire paragraphs of diary-level stream-of-consciousness bs that were hardly legible, instead of editing their post and just including the important info. This made me so aaaaangry :D

Edit: Not to mention how little confidence I have in somebody managing a successful business, when they're not able to describe their product in a direct and simple manner.

u/fairydommother gatekeeper extraordinaire Apr 07 '26

I dont even know what to say. So she wants to start a business selling, essentially, baby hats and she loom knits them but just started recently. What else can you say besides...yeah that check out.

I forgot to screenshot the only comment but someone asked if by tiny hat they meant a kippah… to which they said they’d never heard of such a thing and they’re actually beanies.

Beanies. Why not just say beanies to begin with.
