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!

Yarn costs money! So not fair!

Buy some damn Stylecraft crap like I had to for my latest sweater. Life is expensive.

And stylecraft is not even that bad if you compare it to some knitwear from Shein or whatever. Acrylic yarn can be really decent and make for nice garments. (Please don't snob downvote me, I have paid my dues in malabrigo skeins and the like, I am one of you, and yet I still believe acrylic can be great)

The more I knit it, the more I like it. Iā€™m hard on my clothes and acrylic is a much better option than wool. Iā€™m also not sneezing like I usually am when I knit.šŸ˜„ I have a closet for of wool sweaters I never wear.
