I’m friends with Gaffergirls on Facebook, me and 2538 other people, and I always notice they have a lot to say about glass. That’s a good thing. Glass is good! There I said it. So I think the gaffergirls blog is something that should be talked about. Right here. Check out their blog. And check out their  fearless leader’s web site, Gafferglass.com. The glass is 96 COE. I’ve worked 96 and it’s nice. I tend to spend most of my time with 104 and dabble in some 90, especially with dichro. But 96 has it’s advantages. And they offer a lot of cool colors and frits and shards and as long as you’re good about keeping your glass separate it’s something you should try if you haven’t already.

Viral Crochet Prodigy Story Takes Dark Turn — But We’re Staying Focused on the Craft

Yes, we know — it might seem odd to say “we’re not commenting” while… saying something at all. But here’s the thing: when a name so closely tied to the crochet world makes headlines for something this serious, not acknowledging it could feel like we’re sweeping it under the rug. And that’s not who we are. We have numerous posts and patterns that link to Jonah’s hands; these were all published PRIOR to any allegations.  At this stage, we have not decided whether to remove the content. 

We’re not here to speculate, fuel drama, or chase clicks on someone else’s pain. We’re here to clarify where we stand about Jonah’s Hands.
– This is a police matter.
– Jonah Larson is still a minor.
– We will not comment on the case.

We’ve always believed that crafting is a safe, supportive space. That doesn’t mean ignoring real-world events — but it does mean handling them with care and responsibility.

Let’s continue to support one another and keep this space kind, creative, and community-focused.
