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...
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.
