soc_puppet: Words "Baseless Opinion" in orange (Baseless Opinion)
Of all the things there are a lack of in all the forms of media out there, this is probably one of the least significant and definitely one of the least important.

But it still bugs me, just a teensy bit, that knitting is the default yarn craft.

Someone, anyone, please tell me there is a series with even a throwaway character who crochets. I will be so much happier inside.

(And for the record, the crochet mystery series reeeaaaaally didn't work for me. I almost instantly latched onto the character with an anxiety disorder, but otherwise the book I tried to read was a mess of internalized misogyny and fat-phobia and I couldn't get more than a few chapters into it. I wanted to like it so bad, because CROCHET! In the spotlight, even! But no; between the overbearing cop boyfriend who didn't respect the limits Main Character wanted to put on their relationship, jerkass lady cop who wanted Boyfriend for herself and now has an unreasonable grudge against Main Character that she allows to interfere with her work, jerkass coworker who has a grudge against Main Character for getting the job she wanted, body policing in both directions, and I'm sure a few more things that have slipped my mind, I completely lost interest. I managed to not actually throw the book across the room, but that's probably due to me quitting it instead. *sigh* At least I have Adventure Time for viola-related fulfillment :( )

I should probably just address this question to [community profile] crochet and be done with it. If anyone knows, they will. Er, I imagine.
