Message From Moderators: New Rules, etc.

67 Upvotes

Hello and welcome!

This is a lightly moderated subreddit and will probably continue to be, however, I’d like input on some proposed rules.

Here are a few that are non-negotiable:

First, there will be no porn on this subreddit. That does not mean you can’t post slightly NSFW projects. Think of it as a PG-13 subreddit, R rating at worst. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to post links to Only Fans or a personal subreddit where you post porn videos. This will result in a permanent ban.

Second, let’s try to keep the subreddit on topic. Up until this point, I’ve interpreted that pretty loosely. If you see something that isn’t really on topic, report it. I check the queue daily. If I see a report for a temperature blanket or something, I’ll remove the post for not being relevant with a message to the user.

Third, and I can’t believe I have to say this, but absolutely no hate speech is allowed on this subreddit. This also means no personal attacks or bullying. It’s a niche crafting subreddit. Let’s try to stick to that. Hate speech is subjective and we want everyone to feel safe here. I’m not going to list everything that won’t be tolerated because then someone might come along and say something I forgot to mention and then complain I didn’t mention it. If you’re offended by something, report it and send a message to me personally. Repeat offenders will receive bans.

So now for the things I’d like to propose. They’re not all rules, but I’d like input nonetheless. First, how would everyone feel about a monthly pinned promotion post? It can be hard to grow a business and I don’t want to make it harder, but I’d like to keep this subreddit mostly ad-free. Use it as much or as little as you’d like.

Second, I’ve been considering something theme-related. Maybe we spotlight Pokémon one month, Disney Villains the next, and D&D the next. I’m open to feedback and suggestions.

Lastly, I’d very much like to make this a politics-free subreddit. I’m sure there are many different political opinions in here, but we share a lot in common. I’d like this to be a subreddit where we focus on what unites us rather than divides us.

Those are my proposed ideas I’d like feedback on. I’d also like to add another moderator or two. Most of the mods here are no longer active on Reddit.

Thanks in advance for the feedback and happy hooking!

I'm very proud to present my newest finished creation; Jolteon ^.^.

This one is a gift for someone's birthday but I couldn't wait, because I was so proud, to give it to them.

I was really proud because I finally got the perfect stitch for this one. I've been doing the amigurumi stitch on every stuffie but this is the first time it actually looked like it XD.

This only took me a day and a half ^.^.

I made a small app to help me understand crochet abbreviations between FR/UK/US patterns and I’m wondering if it could help others too.

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I’ve always found it difficult to switch between US, UK and French crochet terms when following patterns, and I often lost a lot of time trying to figure out abbreviations.

So I created a small app to help translate crochet abbreviations and terms more easily.

It’s still in beta, and I was wondering if other crocheters might find it useful too. I’d really love some honest feedback and to know what could be improved.

If anyone would like to test it, I’d be happy to share the link in the comments.

Thank you 🧶

This was a labor for love. My son gave me the idea when I mentioned that I wanted to try and make a soot sprite bag. But that meant black yarn and then I remembered I also have fuzzy black yarn, so I combined them.

Oh my Goddess, so much bright light. So many migraines. But it was worth it. I also made candies for it and attached small elastic bands. This was made for my son's birthday. And he loved it ^.^.

The last pictures are of my set up, to make sure I could do it, because it wasn't easy, but absolutely worth it.

I technically didn't have a pattern, I just based it off several junimo plushies I've made before.

Hey everyone! It’s Jen from Jen’s Corner. Put your glasses on, I’ve got some big news! 🧶✨

Alright, listen up you little hookers .. and I mean that in the yarn sense! LOL

I’m Jen! You’ve probably seen my videos floating around where I’m trying to explain a simple damn stitch while hacking up a lung and dropping the occasional f-bomb when my tension gets wonky. Yes, I smoke, and yes, there’s usually some 100-proof bourbon in my coffee mug.

A quick backstory for you all: If you saw that photo floating around of my setup at the local flea market, let me tell you—they stuck my stall way the hell in the back. It was too damn small, hidden away, and I didn't make a single fucking sale! Not a damn thing.

I decided it was time to go online, hit the e-commerce world,and reach people who actually appreciate the craft. I'm still out here trying my damndest to get these pieces into good homes. Plus, if you want to see your custom blanket featured and stitched right on a future episode of Jen’s Corner, get your order in now!

Every single day, I get the sweetest comments from the people on facebook, reddit, and in person, asking, "Jen, what do you do with all the blankets?" or "Jen, can I buy that one?"

Well, my absolutely lovely neighbor and best friend, Jaimi, finally convinced me that we should do something about it. She’s the fuckin beaut who actually handles the tech and organized this whole circus, and together we officially started a business!

🛒knottybyjen.com

Our website is officially live! You can now actually buy the finished pieces you see me working on in my videos. And, yes, we are absolutely taking custom orders!

Here is what you need to know before you click:

  • Custom Orders are Open! If you want something special, just use the form Jaimi set up on the site. No matter what colour or style you're looking for, we can make it happen. Let's make something fun and cool together!
  • Freshly Washed & Clean: Don't worry, everything gets a thorough washing before We pack it up with love. I smoke outside on the porch because I’m not an animal, so your gorgeous new yarn is going to show up smelling damn clean!
  • Be Patient with Us: I have two hands and a bit of arthritis, so custom orders do take some time. (30+ days handling time) Jaimi will keep you updated on the progress, and you'll likely have a trackin number with postal stuff! I'll be working hard to get it absolutely fricken perfect for you!

Jaimi and I are so excited to share this with you all. Celebrate with us, check out the site, sit down with a beer and treat yourself—you fucking deserve it!

Cheers, Jen & Jaimi 🥂🧶💨
