That’s the reason I dumped Ravelry. And I know one yarn shop where there is a sign on the door to leave your politics, any and all politics, outside. I really doubt this cr@p has been good for business.

Totalitarian knitters. I guess this goes back to the French Revolution.

Tricoteuse (French pronunciation: ​[tʁikɔtøz]) is French for a knitting woman. Amongst the items they knitted was the famous liberty cap or Phrygian cap. The term is most often used in its historical sense as a nickname for the women who sat beside the guillotine during public executions in Paris in the French Revolution, supposedly continuing to knit in between executions.

They should think of joining "Reloaders for Trump"

Great group, lot of bang for your buck
