Inexplicably annoyed by men writing about knitting!

???????

The tags on this are extraordinary:

girlfriend: *does a completely harmless craft that she enjoys, creating something while she watches tv*

boyfriend: “what is this anti-feminist spinster shit, i’m so alienated”

this is literally why I feel like I have to apologize for sewing

“sweetly oblivious old ladies” Hon I 100% guarantee to you that those old ladies are aware of you, your bloodline, your daily habits and your breakfast order and gossip about how rude you are as soon as you leave. 

“If you want to eavesdrop on someone, knit or sew or some sort of womanly craft. Men will act as though you are deaf and blind even when shown evidence otherwise.” - Tricksters’ Choice.

“Well, that’s something you don’t see often,” said Cohen.

“What? A man throttled with pink knitting wool?” said Caleb.

-Last Hero, by Terry Pratchett

liiiiiiiiiiterally this is why women knitters were used as spies in both world wars

It actually really helps you focus, too! And it’s great for anxiety.  But no, heaven forfend people actually know how to you know, make clothes and stuff…..*eyeroll* I lack the dexterity for knitting but I am massively in awe of people who can ^^ And I can cross-stitch like a MOFO. 

My best friend in grad school could knit like a crazy mf. She used it as stress relief. I cannot imagine the consequences without this outlet, as far as compassion and TA discussion section grades, otherwise. I have a scarf and a blanket and a handbag.

i knit and crochet. I’ve also been known to stab people with my pointy af knitting needles for making fun of said hobby.
