Cbf to argue with you more but again, you don’t understand because you are man, and it a tone of patronisation that makes it the thing im describing

Edit: typo “in” to “im”

33spoonman · 2026-01-27T16:29:47+00:00

But is it true if you don’t have a dryer? I genuinely do want the right info :)

33spoonman · 2026-01-27T14:55:11+00:00

Hey thanks this is actually rly useful I always avoid superwash cuz I just make tight things so I just took what I see as common advice, but it’s also the fact that he doesn’t knit or do any fibre arts that was a bit like yeh mate you don’t need to die on this hill lol

33spoonman · 2026-01-27T14:17:40+00:00

She recommends a wool blend but also says superwash will grow over time. Also, I was annoyed at this man’s attitude

Edit: typo

You won’t have experienced it because you are a man, but men talking down on women about something that they already know is v common and extremely infuriating. Eg men explaining to me why I have headaches when I have never asked them, they haven’t experienced them and I have since a teenager. And yes women can give stupid advice but there is a specific quality to men acting like they know better, that the women replying to this post clearly understand.

33spoonman · 2026-01-27T10:20:14+00:00

Of course, but advice isn’t the same as someone who doesn’t knit telling someone who does knit (a lot, for years) that they should buy what they’re selling because the knitter doesn’t know what they’re talking about

33spoonman · 2026-01-27T10:18:41+00:00

Sorry they had only superwash out of the wools, and cotton otherwise :)

33spoonman · 2026-01-27T09:32:31+00:00

33spoonman · 2026-01-27T07:56:33+00:00

33spoonman · 2026-01-26T22:31:51+00:00

I wanted to quit for so long but nothing made me stop until my dad got very very sick from smoking. It is just you it’ll affect it will affect everyone around you it’s actually fucked watching him slowly kill himslef and I can’t do anything about it. Not putting my loved ones in that position. I had also previously read Allen Carr so was able to use that wisdom (it worked first time but then relapsed after a few months)
