    It's always nice hearing Brit and you Jen discussing these topics and it was fun learning about Bea and the Wool Dreamers. I'd also like to try crocheting with the Manchelopis, even just to try it out, maybe it works well with Tunisian crochet. The bit about authenticity really stuck with me. I've also been falling away from social media and recently started just blogging on my Patreon. Not on the paid tier, just the public/free one. There's no pressure there to show up as anything other than the person I am and if feels so good to just express things without the fear of saying the wrong thing or needing to appear extra polished. Those people who joined actually want to read all the stuff. And there's no pressure to take pretty photos or videos either. We can just be there, interacting with each other. Britt's Discord is also a chill place.

    I wonder if that rigid mentality in the knitting community is a leftover product of wartime knitting propaganda, where knitting a certain way was considered patriotic or unpatriotic. I was watching this video (ua-cam.com/video/XCQVJfEdO6k/v-deo.html) the other day that explained it more in depth. This sprung into my mind as you were discussing the topic. Whether it stems from a political agenda or not, it has got to go. Thanks for the informative podcast.

    I can totally understand losing yourself in my motherhood but also losing your sense of purpose in your making. That happened to me when I went to art school. Luckily this sense of purpose came back when I started knitting and dying yarn which has also opened the door again to my sense of purpose to be artistic in other ways like drawing and grafic design.
