This is still one of the greatest ever put downs of Mastodon, to be fair.

antinomy,

@ianbetteridge Nah, the best social media hand-knit ☺️

@ianbetteridge and then that hand-knit, slightly prickly sweater lasts you for decades with the expensive one being thrown out after two seasons.

    @ianbetteridge who knows really. I had the expensive one and now I'm very happy with Mastodon.

    @ianbetteridge @shlee idk about you, but my mum's sewing was pretty fantastic.

    @thisismissem @ianbetteridge To be completely honest, I can understand that this toot could be seen as punching down at knitting and fuck those people.

    I see this as more of in support of the DIY homeground marxist kind of system we can built on our own without capital.... but you know cough

    @shlee @ianbetteridge eeeh, yeah, I'm still team home made clothes! But yes, we're cery DIY and that's a strength, not a weakness.

    @ianbetteridge You're looking at it the wrong way. It's more like, "Holy shit, I can't believe you knit me a sweater. Who even knows how to do that? Thanks, Mom."

    @ianbetteridge Oh you have seen my child photos from our holiday in Austria. The jumper was perfectly complemented by green corduroy trousers which where first made for my sister, but she refused to wear THAT so it was refitted so that I could wear them.
