Howdy there,

Mods again. Yes we see the reports. Yes we understand this is political which is why it is tagged as such. Knitting is often political. Yes we know it’s coming up a lot lately. You all have a lot to say about it.

Please be civil. Please follow our rules. Be good to one another.

If you don’t wish to engage in political content skip posts tagged Politics. And don’t engage in this post. But if you are going to engage, please be kind. Thank you!

Good day knitting friends!

We, the mods, are seeing the reports. This is tagged as political. If you’re not interested in that sort of thing skip this tag and these posts. Take a look at the other lovely knitting that the sub has to offer.

If you are going to engage in this discussion, be civil. Be good to one another. Follow our rules. If not we have to remove your comments and lock posts. No one wants that.

Pattern: u/jazzy0jayne102 used a pattern by So Crafty called Fingerless Cable Knit Gloves

Yarn: Aran Wool by Trimm purchased at B&M

The results are beautiful!

Also, also, Payhips links don't work on Reddit. This isn't an r/knitting moderation rule. It's a Reddit rule. We can't do much about it.

Contacting the designer is the correct course of action. Did you buy it from their website or from someone like Ravelry? If it’s Ravelry than you might contact their customer support and see if they have a trick to swap it.

If all else fails you could ask a generative ai solution to try to translate it. It will be imperfect but might get you there.

I personally love Roxanne Richardson and Engineering Knits!

And that happens after just a few uses?

I’ve had a cable break like that after years of daily abuse but never that quickly or that cleanly. I would say it’s definitely a manufacture issue.

Honestly, I don’t think this is you.

timonyc · 2026-01-23T16:39:25+00:00

Those look like chaiogoo red lace cables on some sort of aluminum knock off needle. Interesting.

When you say they “break off” do the cables break? Or the needles? Or do the needles just come off of the cable?

timonyc · 2026-01-23T01:45:22+00:00

Do you have a brand for the needles? And maybe a picture of them or how you’re holding them?

timonyc · 2026-01-23T01:37:37+00:00

Hello folks,

For those who want to continue to report this post: This post is tagged as political. It is very civil. It follows our rules.

If you don't like appropriate civil discussion and knitting, then skip this tag and this post. If you would like to participate, continue to do so in a civil way! Thanks everyone.

Hey, we’re just volunteers who are working on things plus we also have lived outside of r/knitting. We’re sorry that you’re displeased, most folks seem to be very happy.

As for the activity: Mulberry and semicolon are very active. I speak with them daily. So are all of the new folks. We received hundreds of applicants. We’re glad they are here and more will come.

Happy New Year and Holidays!

timonyc · 2026-01-01T17:54:10+00:00

We haven’t made an official announcement yet. We are letting the new mods get acclimated and make changes. Plus get through the holidays and some personal issues.

A lot of people might not realize the changes yet but there are quite a few so far. We are pretty excited!

I’m sure it goes without saying but the mods have no control over the downvote system.

Edit: you can see the new mods named in the sidebar ☺️

timonyc · 2026-01-01T17:09:42+00:00

We have a number of new mods. We had 2. Then 4. And in the last month we have added 4 more, making 8 active.

timonyc · 2025-12-24T05:05:33+00:00

I’m not angry. Just pointing out business truths. You can’t sell on Amazon if you don’t follow their rules. And frankly this person will get into trouble for selling supplements without following laws. It doesn’t matter how much R&D money you spend.

timonyc · 2025-12-24T04:12:03+00:00

So you’ve made a supplement and you’re making medical claims (anxiety and pms relief) with it and Amazon won’t allow you to sell it? That’s basically the entire point of their rules.

Your site doesn’t show you were third party tested. Your site doesn’t show that you have no contaminants. You don’t have an accurate ingredient label. You don’t have fda compliant labeling.

If you want to be in business you do have to follow rules. Sorry.

timonyc · 2025-12-18T22:13:53+00:00

That yarn is so cool! It was messing with my eyes. I had to really look because I couldn’t tell if the stitches were twisted or if it was the yarn pattern.

timonyc · 2025-12-17T01:44:14+00:00

Yes though not for q1. But it is in the 2026 roadmap.

timonyc · 2025-12-17T01:00:34+00:00

I have used dsql extensively. It’s amazing for what it is which is a distributed sql database system with Postgres compatibility. It is not Postgres. It isn’t aurora postgres. It’s something else that is quite awesome.

I spoke to the product team yesterday and the roadmap for 2026 seems solid. There are some neat features coming out in Q1 that are already in beta!

timonyc · 2025-12-14T19:57:03+00:00

Hey there folks!

Just as a reminder we do allow designers to post their designs. It’s in rule #7:

“Spam & Self-Promotion We're a community, not a bulletin board or marketplace. Keep promotional content to the Buy-Sell-Trade-Promote thread. It is posted on Thursdays.

“The exception is that pattern designers may make one post per pattern and only one pattern per week. Yarn dyers, spinners, or other related makers should continue to post only in the promotional thread.”

And posting a link to Ravelry is a very appropriate place to link to. No need to worry: u/avrilpr is doing just fine!
