Welcome to Arts and Yarns!
This is a community for any and all art and crafting enthusiasts, no matter whether you're knitting, sewing, painting, photographing, sculpting, woodworking, glassblowing, or anything else that ends up with a finished piece of art at the end. You can show off your own creations, recommend resources, patterns and instructions, ask for help, discuss techniques and materials, or show us your inspirations - there's room for all of it. For ease of navigating, please flair your posts accordingly.
Please be kind to each other. This is an open and beginner-friendly community, so if you give criticism, be constructive, and keep your comments about the art.
Slurs of any kind are not tolerated.
When posting your own works, please include the type of art or medium in the title and use it as an opportunity to describe your work.
When sharing photos, videos, and links Please make sure the title includes information that one might search for! This can be the title of the video, creator, what it is, the medium or type of art. All posts of things you did not make yourself need to be credited to the best of your abilities.
Don't repost material others have posted here or elsewhere on Ovarit, and please try to avoid duplicate posts.
If you want to promote your own or someone else's items for sale, the stickied thread is the place to do it. We love celebrating and supporting women creators, so link your favourites!

It's awful. I had stopped posting any content myself (my own projects, forums, etc.) after the Trump ban because I thought it was a terrible move for free speech. It would've been one thing if they banned political speech and wanted to keep it about knitting. But I simply will not be gaslighted into believing that supporting Trump necessarily equals white supremacy, but open discussion and support of communism on the site has nothing to do with the genocides that ideology has invariably caused.
Now he's really upped the ante on the trans ideology. I can't believe his wife is still with him. The fetish stuff on the home page recently was particularly bad.
I only use it now to look up patterns, and then I go to the designer's site and buy from them directly to avoid Ravelry profiting. If there are good alternatives, we really need them now. No matter how people felt about the Trump thing, no one wants to feel like an unwitting participant in someone else's fetish. Even people who nominally support "trans rights" are going to find this disturbing.
