Celebs React to Ravelry Announcing Ban on Donald Trump and His Administration

[zodgory]

We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry. We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. More details: https://t.co/hEyu9LjqXa

they ate THE site for knitting and co
i used a free hat pattern from them once, turned out great

[tinurix]

I use them all the time. If you want to find a knitting or crochet pattern, you go to ravelry.

It's like a go-to website if you do knitting/crochet etc (which I do, lol). Internet arguments over yarn and needle techniques and what have you get very heated

[colahell]

I know them because I am one of them! I have knit many, many items from designers selling their patterns on the site. It is an amazing resource for knitters & other makers.

I sure do. Reading the title of the post I was like haha there's a crochet site with the same name how funny would it be for them to ban anyone political. Then I went into the post.

Crochet >>>>>>>

Its way more portable than giant-ass knitting needles.

[baekpedaling]

Crochet is superior that's why it can't be machine replicated like knitting

[coralphish]

lol you are me. I was like "oh, is there a ravelry news site, too?"

[aleksie]

Basically, anyone who is somewhat into knitting. They have huge repository of patterns, which is what I use them for, and they have forums.

[bgwqlc]

I crochet so I use this site all the time.

[mhfromnh]

I'm there all the damn time.
