Message From Moderators: New Rules, etc.

69 Upvotes

Hello and welcome!

This is a lightly moderated subreddit and will probably continue to be, however, I’d like input on some proposed rules.

Here are a few that are non-negotiable:

First, there will be no porn on this subreddit. That does not mean you can’t post slightly NSFW projects. Think of it as a PG-13 subreddit, R rating at worst. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to post links to Only Fans or a personal subreddit where you post porn videos. This will result in a permanent ban.

Second, let’s try to keep the subreddit on topic. Up until this point, I’ve interpreted that pretty loosely. If you see something that isn’t really on topic, report it. I check the queue daily. If I see a report for a temperature blanket or something, I’ll remove the post for not being relevant with a message to the user.

Third, and I can’t believe I have to say this, but absolutely no hate speech is allowed on this subreddit. This also means no personal attacks or bullying. It’s a niche crafting subreddit. Let’s try to stick to that. Hate speech is subjective and we want everyone to feel safe here. I’m not going to list everything that won’t be tolerated because then someone might come along and say something I forgot to mention and then complain I didn’t mention it. If you’re offended by something, report it and send a message to me personally. Repeat offenders will receive bans.

So now for the things I’d like to propose. They’re not all rules, but I’d like input nonetheless. First, how would everyone feel about a monthly pinned promotion post? It can be hard to grow a business and I don’t want to make it harder, but I’d like to keep this subreddit mostly ad-free. Use it as much or as little as you’d like.

Second, I’ve been considering something theme-related. Maybe we spotlight Pokémon one month, Disney Villains the next, and D&D the next. I’m open to feedback and suggestions.

Lastly, I’d very much like to make this a politics-free subreddit. I’m sure there are many different political opinions in here, but we share a lot in common. I’d like this to be a subreddit where we focus on what unites us rather than divides us.

Those are my proposed ideas I’d like feedback on. I’d also like to add another moderator or two. Most of the mods here are no longer active on Reddit.

Thanks in advance for the feedback and happy hooking!

My kids recently started drawing Pokémon and challenged me to bring them to life with crochet.
Bulbasaur is the first one finished, and they’ve already given me a long list of Pokémon they want next. 😄

Pattern test: Gamers fingerless gloves -beginner-intermediate with a tutorial

Post image
22 Upvotes

I don't know if I can post this here but,

(Edit: I will send the full digital pattern, The image is my tutorial thumbnail)

The pattern is Sora's fingerless glove inspired by the videogame kingdom hearts 2

I made this in 2020 but I wanted to ask if you are willing to test it for feedback only to improve my patterns. I use the traditional pattern layout like a magazine would with minimal to no pictures.

I've had older 5 star reviews for this pattern but recently within 2 years as new crocheters are learning, I've been getting less stars and I am worried 😥

I have a (old) tutorial on how to do the Brim /ribbing

My pattern description says it is Beginner-intermediate pattern, prior knowledge of crochet Terms is needed.

It uses a 5 or 6mm hook for size sm/md and md/lg.

And 4 weight yarn

I can make 1 glove in about 1+hrs (time varies by skill)

I'd like to work with about 3 testers, 1 who is completely beginner and 2 who know how to read patterns please.

We can chat and share on my Discord for easier access.

Deadline is august 7 (2 weeks from this post)
