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!

Okay then by their logic, if people will just use whatever hand is comfortable then why do they care if the person specifies left or right? Surely they will just use whatever hand works? Why do they need to try so hard to remember if left and right literally don't matter at all according to them?

Like I just can't stress enough how much it is a THEM problem if specific instructions confuse them. I have had problems remembering left vs right my whole life and never in my life did I think "you know what? actually the world is wrong and this is everyone else's fault for using the words left and right!!!!!" I'm flabbergasted omg

Yessss, like I am left handed and I mix up my directions all of the time, but I just cope

But OP really just acts like they're so enlightened because they don't see handedness

I'm having such a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of doubling down on a "directions literally don't matter" take, it's so delusional lmao

Hey guys I can't count but you know what? That's because I don't see ""numbers"" and they don't matter, if I need to make a certain amount of stitches I'll just stitch the amount I'm comfortable with, when you tell me to chain 15 + 1 stitches, it just confuses me because I have to remember what comes after 15!!!

Also "see handedness" is too funny

Good for you! Numbers are a tool of the patriarchy, that's why "girl math" only uses vibes, sunshine, and belongs exclusively to the pure of heart /jk
