Things don’t seem so joyful over at The Joy of Knitting. Elizabeth Poe, the owner of the Franklin, Tennessee shop, published a post on her store’s Facebook page earlier this week that asked customers shopping for yarn in support of the Women’s March to take their business elsewhere. “The vulgarity, vile and evilness of this movement is absolutely despicable,” Poe wrote in a post that was shared over 5,000 times and attracted more than 7,000 comments. She added, “As the owner of this business and a Christian, I have a duty to my customers and my community to promote values of mutual respect, love, compassion, understanding, and integrity.”

Agree. And yet, they project their hatred onto me, calling me a hater, simply because I believe that our Laws should be enforced. Go figure.
I’m going to order yarn from her if I can find her website! Deplorables are knitters too!
“...why women haven’t figured out how to avoid rape....” and “....churches promoting unlimited breeding....”
I do not understand your basis for these two comments.
I do not support the so-called women’s march, but it my lack of support is not due to the failure of the “women’s movement” to hold women responsible for rape and to hold Christianity responsible for people having as many children as they wish. Who decided that 3 kids or more are too many?
She is getting slammed on her store’s Facebook page.
What civil right did the store owner violate?
I scanned some of the comments on her Facebook page and I am stunned that there are so many stupid women out there who trashed Elizabeth Poe, the owner of the knitting shop for speaking out against the vulgarity and obscenity displayed at that women’s march and the women who brought their children to that abhorrent event.
BTTT
“The vulgarity, vile and evilness of this movement is absolutely despicable,” Poe wrote.
May the Good Lord watch over her, for there will be a lot of leftist witches out after her.
All she had to do is put a sign up” Out of all Shades of Red and Pink! Green, is Free!”!
I wish her business were a gun store...because she would be doing a land office business.
"Inspired by my love of knitting and the opportunity of the 2009 recession. Saved the funds needed to open without a loan and in 2012 The Joy of Knitting became reality."
Fuuny, considering either Momma or Sister Judd had a house right up the road...or used too because I’ve driven right by it.
I beg to differ... In most cases men are held much more responsible. It goes beyond "equal rights". I witnessed my father have to go through this (un)equal process.. and now I am also going through it (although it isn't about 'unwanted', but same premise).
Contraception aided and abetted this entire feminist mess and the wholesale corruption of our culture, and you want to increase it?
No Church is for “unlimited breeding”..in fact, the churches you are talking about were precisely the ones most strenuously defending the celibate religious life....millions of people who didn’t have any kids at all.
You don’t want kids, fine. Lead a celibate life and you won’t get them. Ever.
What we Catholics object to is this phony baloney attitude of eating your cake and having it too....engaging in the reproductive act and refusing to reproduce.
Amen to that!
She’s likely to get hate mail from feminists but not likely to be sued since feminism is a clear political ideology but not protected under civil rights over-reach the way homosexuals are.
You really have no right to say what can be done with the yarn. Nasty people will now CHOOSE her store to make their kitty hats from.
I don’t get it. When men want to display their pEn1$ power, they get cool cars like Lamborghinis. Why do we only get a stupid shapeless knit hat? For the first time in my life I am starting to get pEn1$ envy.
LOL! FWIW, I got a cool Toyota RAV4 last year. Does that count?
So. Much. Winning! :)
