In reply to the discussion: A social network for knitting just made every other website look like goddamn cowards [View all]Grey
(1,581 posts)48. Casey and his wife were on this page many years ago.
Casey asked us, well before trump was elected, not to go political. He wanted to remain apolitical. In my experience, They have been more than fair. Ravelry has more than 8,500,000 members world wide. My membership number is about 32,600. I have no idea what year that was. This is the best and kindest group I have ever 'met' on the internet. If there are a few nasty knitters that get their "knickers in a twist" we are fine with that. What I like is that this will mean more people will hear about us and sign up to play with sticks and string or join us as happy hookers... Cheers
