Sending yarny support.

I couldn’t help replying on that thread. The graffiti knitting bloggers honour was at stake.

Also loving your work. Will link to you on Knit the City and Whodunnknit. :)

I’m not trying to build a brand, exactly, but when I see things like this I ALWAYS want to be able to visit the website to see what it’s about. That is why I tag it. Also, I’m trying to build a group, so why not tell people what the group is called?

Not to mention that the one I’m doing this weekend is going to go back to a blog post about a fundraiser that is happening. I just don’t see what’s wrong with putting your name on your own work. Don’t other people sign their own artwork?

I don’t put a card on the yarnbomb but I do post a picture of each one on my blog and facebook. Then I’m not trying to build a brand. maybe that is their issue.

And WSB did a nice job of clarifying. Some people just are unhappy, and they aren’t going to be changing anytime soon. Press your ignore button and carry on.
Your work is awesome!

People seem to feel freer to say mean things online because you don’t have to look someone directly in the eye while you’re saying it. I mean, can you imagine that woman walking up to you in person and saying any of that? It’s really hard but you definitely have to learn not to take it personally. If Internet criticism is given more freely it should also be disregarded more freely.

Of course you deserve recognition for your work! The WSB reports about things in West Seattle, and what you do provides an interesting form of artistic expression in WS that should be talked about. Toot your horn – the rest of us will, too. And tell those trolls to go fuck themselves. Jealousy is ugly.
