I am so excited to tell you about the new pattern I just released. It is a beautiful cowl that is in support of the President. I wanted it to coincide with his rally announcing he reelection campaign. This one is a bit different for me. It is available for purchase through my Etsy store. Designing takes materials and time, and I have been designing a lot, so if you like this pattern I hope you will consider purchasing it. Last week I had a pattern removed. My initial reaction was to be sad and depressed. People who know nothing about me keep calling me names. It gets tiresome. I think they wanted me to cry and complain. Instead I made a new pattern. It is in support of our country, God, borders, and life. All the things that make liberals cry. I am not ashamed of supporting the wall. I am not ashamed of supporting God or babies. I am certainly not ashamed of supporting our president. Loving our county is not a bad thing. He is not perfect, but he is doing his best for the people of the country. So friends, please enjoy the Trump 2020 Keep America Great cowl! It was a blast to knit, and I can't wait to wear it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/715178809/trump-2020-cowl?ref=shop_home_active_1

Love this cowl and can't wait to knit it. No doubt there will be requests from friends and family to make more so I'll keep an extra stash of yarn available.

I am a long time Raveler, and am shocked that the "monitors" have taken this stupid tactic to intimidate and censor "speech" they find objectionable.

I have had people ask me to knit pussy hats as well. When asked, I tell them that they would need to pay me, and that the money made off from the sale, would be donated to a conservative candidates. People then don't ask me to make them these hats. I am sorry you had to go through with what ravelry has done to you and the whole community. a youtuber TimPool and Timcast made a video about the issue of what Ravelry is doing, and he brings up many great points.

Thank you for the great pattern- I know I will be knitting a bunch of them as holiday gifts:) I really admire what you are doing - it seems ridiculous that just being able to freely voice your opinion is a brave thing in 2019, but sadly that is the case. You are an inspiration.

The word "Trump" is now the dirtiest word in the large, filthy-mouthed knitting forum, how sad that the nonsensical white supremacy BS has deranged their minds and they've driven out pro-Trump patterns and pattern writers completely, I would love to see members leave en masse...

This cowl is wonderful! I encourage you to continue designing your colorwork hats and cowls, no matter who tries to stop you. You are talented!

Here because of the latest Ravelry insanity. Will be deleting my account there as soon as I download some patterns I want to keep. In a sane world I wouldn't be calling someone brave for supporting our president, but here we are. Thank you for standing up for all of us deplorables.

I'm so sorry that you were banned and your patterns removed. There are many out there who support you - I am one of those people. Thank you for all of your hard work and for your support of our president and country.

I shouldn’t be shocked and surprised by what is going on with Ravelry, but I guess I still am. I truly want to complain and leave to make a stand, but where will I be able to search and get patterns? They have cornered the market. Either way, I am so happy I found your site here right after I found your pattern while it was still on Ravelry, so that I can keep in touch with you and your designs! I may not knit this pattern (I have so many in the works), but I am going right over to purchase it to support you! God bless you!

I just want to let you know I've always enjoyed your patterns and that I deleted my Ravelry account last night. I totally support your right to make America great again patterns, and if you will post about what platform you are moving to, I will follow you. There's a MeWe group now for conservative former Ravelry members. I hope you'll join us.

I am totally appalled and angered by the whole process of what has happened! If it was political, then stop all political discussions. However, this goes much deeper and I'm not liking it at all. I need to get all my information downloaded and I'm looking at leaving the community as well.

I too love your patterns and am greatly saddened by the hypocrisy on Ravelry. I will be leaving Ravelry which I had enjoyed. I’ve also unsubscribed from several indie dyers who have voiced their support for Ravelry’s decision. I’m curious how much of their income they can afford to lose by this decision? My money and my support will go to pattern writers and dyers who choose to sell their wares regardless of political leaning.

Just wanted you to know that you have plenty of deplorable knitters on your side. We need to stay strong and keep true to our beliefs. It is a sad day.

Deleted my Ravelry account today, and some instagram people as well who delight in being "inclusive" by banning people who disagree with them.

Sorry about the harassment you received. I came here to show support after all the craziness today on Ravelry. The fact that people were equally upset about the God is Love hat shows that this is a spiritual struggle.

Keep making the amazing patterns! The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me from the left. To say they want to be inclusive to all and then ban one specific group instead of just banning politics and hate speech is contradictory in itself. No support for Trump because all supporters are white supremacists and hateful but “F*** Trump” is okay and not hateful at all. WTH??!?! Where is the sense in any of that? You don’t want politics being discussed because it causes drama, fine don’t allow them but don’t ban a group you have labeled and judged just because you don’t agree with them at all. I am in the process of downloading all my patterns that have been purchased on Ravelry and then will be deleting my account. Someone needs to start a new knitting and crochet community that will welcome conservatives!

I deleted my Ravelry account as soon as I saw the post on Sunday. I want very much to find a new place to be that actually IS all-inclusive. I look forward to seeing what develops.

It's ironic that this website started out so user-friendly, and as a way to unite knitters. For the past several years, I have been of the opinion that Ravelry was getting a little big for their britches, gracing certain events with their presence and blessing, not to mention causes, holidays, etc. I hope they see they've gone a few steps too far in telling everyone what to think.

Followed you here from Ravelry. So sorry that you were removed from rav. I am saddened and just plain disheartened at what has been happening not just in the last couple of days but in the last couple of months. Please keep designing!

I just discovered you, late to the party! I finally deleted my Rav account, and am now looking for and supporting knitters with open minds and real brains. And it doesn't hurt to find ones that support our God, president, and county as well. God bless you and your family!
