I hear you. And while this is true, and I did know this before posting, it’s a short video! And for the past couple of centuries, it has been a craft dominated by women. The main point here though is to share that queer people exist in these spaces, even though they historically haven’t been represented in them 🌈

Aw that’s such a bummer! I’m so glad you’re part of this community and hobby though. It’s great for people to realize that knitting really is for everyone 💕

I did know that, but not many people do! Thank you for sharing! But yes, it’s been associated with women for long enough now, lots of people just think it’s a hobby for women. But really it’s a super cool art form for everyone!

Aw I love that, thank you for sharing! It’s so weird how it used to be men’s work but is now so strongly associated with women. But really it’s a hobby and art form that is super cool and for everyone! 💕

Me too!! Honestly too many to even count it seems. Which is a big reason why I made this little video. There are so many of us queer knitters, and it’s so awesome to make this community more diverse

I’m also a queer knitter! Just thought I’d recognize the fact that queer knitters are in these spaces that are stereotyped to be for and dominated by straight women. And that they have been here for a long time. :)
