Crafting like a TERF

Inspired by the recent thread on clothing/jewellery/personal items you have that are suffragette inspired or that display your terfy tendancies, here is a quick crochet poncho I whipped up last week on holiday. Not sure I'll ever wear it but thought it might come in handy if there are any demos at the Scottish Parliament that I can be brave enough to attend.
Anyone else make terfy crafts?

Gorgeous poncho op.
I taught myself to do basic crochet same way as you but that would take me six weeks not six hours, that’s amazing.
only project I’ve completed this year is a anigurumi tea bag 😅

There's some jammies I made.

Never got the hang of crochet. Hurts my hands too much.

LOVE the jammies.

But I am currently stash busting so I'll back away before I get tempted.

More gorgeous makes!💜🤍💚

I'm still waiting for him to clock the significance of them, Tbh!

I do wear them in front of my TWAW DS!

😀 What’s your DS’s reaction?

Great jammies, @PickAChew .

The stripe matching and neat neckband on the top needs to be seen outside the house, as well, though.

I had a look on ravelry and there are lots of feminist patterns still.

I miss pre-rainbow ravelry

I've been meaning to do some feminist crochet for ages. But I don't know what to make. Maybe a bag.

That yarn is dreamy @Suffrageknitter but I just spent a small fortune on custom yarn. I CANNOT afford more.

EddieVedderSingsToMe · 15/08/2023 00:43

I made this a few years ago for my kids’ feminist childminder

That Dinny Hall Suffragette range is very interesting. Probably as well that the stacking rings are not in stock, though, given the price.

That poncho is really nice. I like a nice poncho.

😁 love them!

Legoroses · 14/08/2023 23:45

Argh! I have seen all the bases.

I really really v much need to not buy any more yarn.

I did buy suffragette stacking rings from Dinny Hall as v subtle way of flashing the ole Terfdom but I can't actually find any of them - been taking them off to wash my hands.

The mini skein fade would make a lovely scarf. It comes in DK merino.

Suffrageknitter · 14/08/2023 23:29

Yarn bases, I meant.

(Deep sigh of longing. ) Oh, that is just delicious. Although I can't be doing with nylon mixes so I am reasonably sure I'm not going to attempt to purchase some in the next half hour. I might have a tiny Google though... just a small one.

It comes in a variety of yarn types. …

It’s going to take me a long time to knit over 2000m of 4 ply so I’m still looking for the right pattern.

@BlueMoe agree that banner is amazing.Needs to be treasured until the right women who can be trusted with it (not sadly the Glasgow Women's Library or other such places I've heard)and who will ensure it is kept for future generations.
