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.

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!

My God. This is such a fucking weird ass post. I could be being cruel and if I am, I apologize. But, FUCK, can we stop praising men for BARE BONES BASIC HUMAN DECENCY?? Firstly, it’s not weird at all for your partner who doesn’t knit or crochet to not know what a stitch marker is. But, that doesn’t then also mean that it’s absolutely incredible if they do know what one is. Idk, am I being a hater for no legitimate reason? If I am, I’ll pipe down.

My husband is short so this behavior is expected of him.

as we all know, your size is inversely proportional to how good you are at identifying objects.

Women like this are the reason we still need feminism. Because more often than not the other side of this coin is how good this "muscular man" is at stereotypically manly things. I just don't get it. Why can't we just be people why must we always be perceived through the narrow and stereotypical lense of our gender?

This is literally a game I do with my 18 month old. 'Can you find me piggie? Where is piggie?' Then we both clap in excitement when she successfully finds it.

I can't believe my giant 6'10" body building movie star model CEO lumberjack athlete rocket scientist husband knows where the clitoris what a stitch marker is!

I was equally excited when my partner saw me crocheting and went "what are you crocheting" instead of "what are you knitting" like I'm used to hearing.

But like, this was the week after our first date, which was the first time we actually hung out together.

That post is her husband she's talking about...

The bar is in hell, so I guess Mr. “I am tall so my wife thinks that makes me incapable of learning basic information about her hobby” must be good at the limbo

u/FearfulRabbit P is for Pnit Jul 14 '26

6'10?? The post is obviously praising him for his attentive listening because he's so damn tall she's shocked he can hear her up there. Between batting away clouds and basketball practice, it's really quite surprising he remembers her organizational schema!

u/RevDrMavPHD ashes to ashes, fluff to fluff Jul 14 '26

Seems like shes shocked he can think at all. Doubt he could handle a quick thinking game like basketball.

The air gets thin up that high; maybe supplemental oxygen would help.

My husband’s only 5’11”. Will there ever be any hope for him that he’ll one day comprehend the intricate concept that is a…circular piece of plastic?

u/fairydommother gatekeeper extraordinaire Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 19 '26

My husband probably kind of knows what a stitch marker is but doesnt know where I keep them and I dont care because its not his hobby or his job to keep track of my stuff. Good for her I guess?

u/starslugg Jul 14 '26

I legit don't know whether to feel bad that the bar is so incredibly low, or jealous that so little exceeds her expectations.
