I've heard fiber art communities can be fucking nuts, but I just had one person I ordered yarn from local send me an email apologizing profusely about the fact my order would be a day late because she had to take her father to the hospital ( he's fine, thankfully), and earlier had another yarn seller worried I'd be upset the yarn I'd ordered from her was from two different animals, grown two different years.

The fuck did I get myself into?

I buy all of my tools used from other fibre artists, and every single time they added a small (or large) something to the parcel like fibre, spin-ins, yarn markers etc. I once asked an indie dyer if a certain colourway would maybe come back at some point, and she immediately went out and bought the special dye needed for it, just so she could dye a batch for me. A team of Ravelry strangers once helped me reverse engineer a full lace shawl pattern from, like, two photos.

Fibre artists just are like that.

There’s fiber artists, as in multiple artists not connected to one another, that have faked their own deaths after they accidentally/purposefully oversold their yarn inventory and couldn’t keep up with demand.

The fiber arts community rocks every type of wild there can ever be.

The fiber art Fandom is like a friendly grandma fibering away in her rocking chair. Always having tea and hot chocolate for your bad days. An absolute angel.

And then you lern, by accident, that she killed her three husband's

okay but the bizarre thing is that red delicious apples aren’t always bad??

when i lived in Mexico someone bought me some apples. they turned out to be red delicious, so naturally i was disappointed. but i tried eating them anyway, for lack of other options.

they were really good?? crisp, juicy, sweet. none of that horrible grainy texture. i checked the label and they were apparently imported from the US.

so… there are apparently good red delicious apples grown in the US, but we… send them to Mexico?

My family actually got some Extra Super Premium nearly softball-sized ones in one of those overpriced fruit gift boxes somebody sent us, which I was amazed to discover actually tasted like real apples? Sweet type apples like you describe, without as much tartness/flavor complexity as I generally prefer.

But, APPLES with no gross mealy texture and enough pleasant taste that I wasn’t sorry I tried them–and actually went back for more?!

Had no idea that was even possible. I am admittedly probably extra picky there, after growing up in an apple growing region where it’s easy to get really delicious fresh ones. But, I had honestly never encountered a Red Delicious worth eating before.

(Those were trying to use “Proudly Grown in Washington State” as some major selling point. But, that apparently describes most of the not overly edible supermarket standard Red Delicious too, so not really much help!)
