Never used Ravelry. But I see they are proudly waving the “pride” flag on their sign-in screen.
Time to ban your black and white yarn! Black is racis’ and white is “privilege”.
You can find pussy hat patterns on Ravelry. Lots and lots of them.
I despise these businesses that claim to not be political.....
make sure you let them (and their advertisers know)
I have not ever said to boycott advertisers on liberal sites, until they say they don’t want my business.
So advertisers note: Feel free to advertise on MSNBC - I won’t see it anyway.
But when a company SAYS they only want to advertise on liberal sites, then I assume hey don’t want my business.
I’m going to have a word with some LYS owners. There are no atheists in foxholes.
Lots of F**K Trump patterns as well.
FWIW, if the niche they want to market to is to be found on lib sites, I have no problem with a biz advertising there. No skin off my nose.
But Ravelry clearly is clueless about its customer base and related customer bases.
I just plumb hate stupidity. And I have no desire to patronize it.
Bake the damn cake, Ravelry.
Most Knitters are older...like my mom...older people are more conservative than younger people...think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would knit? She might dye the sheep before starting knitting the wool...on the sheep...
Gave it up today after I downloaded all my freebies that I had in my Library.
I have contacted the independent designers that I have bought patterns from telling them that I will no longer purchase their designs through Ravelry.
A lot of folks are gonna get dragged into this who just want to make a living and let knitters and crocheters worry about their own bloody politics.
WTG, Ravelry.
Not true, knitting is very popular these days among young people. I have a friend, far younger than I am, about 33 who just took up knitting. For years she has loved to crochet. Anyway, it is actually really fun and relaxing and I am going to try it again so I’m very glad to know to stay far away from getting any products or info from Ravelry.
“registration is closed temporarily” on the website. I guess a lot of deplorables crashed the registration.
That’s it... I’m done with knitting! /s
