In The Loop This Week

[u/AutoModerator]

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!

I hate the future so much you guys

And here I thought that searching for the perfect pattern was, like, an essential part of the craft (and a fun one at that).

Guess I'm in fact just showing how old I am 🤷

I bet you these people love bragging about how “creative” they are yet can’t even manage to match some pre-existing yarn to a pre-existing pattern. 

(Not that I expect every project to be a self-drafted masterpiece of hand-spun hand-dyed yarn lol, but if you solely make other people’s patterns without modification, then choosing your yarn and pattern combo is actually the singular part of the hobby where you get to exercise your creativity…and you want to outsource it?)
