A quick question on the supplements. Do you take the calcium at the same time as the iron supplements?

The frogs had different compositions and shape. The attack on this poor young woman were horrendous and to be falsely accused of stealing a generic frog pattern that already looks like a BAB plush.

The majority of the people in the group seemed to fawn over her and she regularly posted/commented. I personally found that Kayte's posts were inane, which wouldn't have been an issue alone, but her 'tone' when she replied to other crafters often came across, to me at least, as incredibly sarcastic and sneering. I couldn't give a specific example of a post - I'm no longer in those groups to go back and look - but that was just the vibe I got from her. I got the impression that she thought she was important and that meant she could talk to people as she pleased. Again, just my personal opinion.

So an important note about the whole "licensing Disney IP" thing, the VAST majority of stuff you'll find on, say, etsy, is unlicensed. Disney doesn't always file claims against everyone, but I know a lot of people who have lost their etsy stores due to copyright claims. That's also why a lot of stuff will be listed with alias names, ie Mermaid Princess instead of Ariel The Little Mermaid, and Archery Princess instead of Brave/Merida. All that to say, I'd hedge a guess that her Stitch *isn't* licensed, which is the real reason she deleted the comment. Purchasing a Disney IP license is way more expensive than most individuals can afford, and they're INCREDIBLY specific about what and how you can use it. But given that Disney has their own amigurumi kit, I highly doubt they would give out licenses to individual artists to sell a similar pattern - that's money Disney would rather make on their own product kit. I don't necessarily have any evidence for this, but I am a crafter who worked for the company for a year (obligatory "I do not speak for or represent the company" here), specifically in their in-park merchandise, which somewhat deals with licensing and IP for personalized items.

My favorite one I’ve seen is “small green alien” for baby yoda. Lol

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

@@TheSlipperyNUwUdle lol I've seen "bug monster" for Oogie Boogie, and "Mr. Mouse" for Mickey. The creative names are as amusing as they are functional! 😂 though still not a protection, unfortunately. Definitely a "sell at your own risk" kind of thing, especially online.

[@theartisans_nz]

I cackled so loud at the roller coaster covers. Thanks for providing such great entertainment for my craft sessions!

[@appalachiancrochet]

Doesn't surprise me at all to find out Katye did these things. She gave me major bad vibes years ago in the knitting machine groups on Facebook. She would be rude to people in the comments and then her followers would back her up. I was surprised she won the Cheer Choice award and made it a point to vote for my favorite crochet artist this year. What I did find disappointing was that hanner gurumi was involved in the purchasing of votes!

[@TamarLitvot]

I thought hanner and hannah were not the same person?

These covers are SLAYING Especially the Hawaiian roller-coaster. I was honestly vibing.

I’m not in the crochet community at all nor do I crochet, but MAN am I obsessed with hearing about crochet drama

[@m0therships]

help i've had that (gorgeous) cover of hawaiian roller coaster ride stuck in my head playing on repeat since i heard it

[@priyasinha3889]

Firstly, incredible musical talent here. Loving the covers. But mainly, thank you for being so thorough! I appreciate your following up with what happened to the parties involved after the storm, and I enjoy hearing your final thoughts. I've been seeing your videos on my feed for a while and finally clicked to find really quality investigative journalism. Super awesome.

[@audie3600]

Love when I can get cozy under a nice throw with a warm, calming cup of tea only to learn about the piping hot tea that’s about to be spilled in the crafting community

[@apieceofkate2266]

i LOVED your rendition of hawaiian rollercoaster ride 😂

The covers due to copyright are precious and i love them.

ur rendition of hawaiian roller coster ride gives me so much serotonin actually bc i tried to learn all the lyrics to this song and failed but its so much fun to sing same with ur rendition of the carmen aria (the freddy fnaf song) its one of the opera i feel like most ppl know most of the arias to?? idk i just love it so much

[@loverlyredhead]

I don't get why she sang the Carmen aria though. It's public domain.

@@loverlyredheadikr they could’ve just played a public domain rendition of toreador

[@Unic0rnSnot]

I do not have the spoons to follow/investigate drama in real time, but I do crave the tea. I’m also generally blissfully unaware of what’s happening in real time 🙃 So bless this account, algorithm gods, and bring me back in times of tea. Amen.

[@Plaidpandaz]

I crochet, and make amigurumi. I've followed these people for a long time silently, and admired the empires that they have made in their own rights. However, I have held back on doing social media stuff because of how toxic I've seen Kayte and others be. I've seen others make adorable crochet work, but get attacked for it if takes attention away from people like her. I just want to make cute things, I want to see other peoples cute stuff and not care for the immature highschool shit. Big ego moments, from immature bratty girls like Kayte.

[@TamarLitvot]

I made exactly one (1) amigurumi and the people I learned from (on KZbin) seemed fine. Maybe I just don't know about their drama. If so, I want to keep that ignorance. The amigurumi I made (a cat) was very simple and yet I still felt it got a little to finicky and hard on my fingers for my tastes. So it's the first and the last one I will make.

[@Skittl1321]

I've been out of the fiber arts circle for more than a decade, but I'm so glad to hear the drama is still going strong. Early ravelry was such good entertainment (faking your own death to not have to dye yarn, for instance), and now I love these recaps so I don't have to follow the drama in real time.

[@AntheanCeilliers]

"I'm just a guy in this world. What do I know!" -- ICONIC weird thing to say

From a Music Minor: I have to compliment and applaud your Lilo and Stitch arrangement. Super cute and funny 🤎🖤

[@secretlythebatman]

the singing in place of the songs brought me so much joy

[@sgtphoolish1127]

This video only covers a fraction of what that woman has done. There are SO many other creators that have been negatively effected by Katies actions.

[@stefunnylim]

i would love to hear about the past dramas that kayte was involved in... the tea while no longer piping hot would still be very interesting! loving the vids as always emma!

[@cowboylike_zoe]

just ate a cheese string time to turn on the crafting drama playlist ans pass out it’s like im on facetime

I have an unreasonable love for this channel, and I don’t have the skills to glue two popsicle sticks together let alone work in fiber arts. I can’t wait for the next video! ❤️

[@ElectricRose9001]

This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to rush making my own stitch-ish meme pattern and post it for free. I've made one in 3 days, don't tempt me. 😜

[@Sweet_Tooth_Art]

Do it! 😈 Be petty it would be funny

[@stargazer209]

Okay but how does one get a Disney trademark for craft patterns?

[@ElectricRose9001]

@stargazer209 That's why it's -ish, and a meme. I'm talking Stitch adjacent, goofy face, extra ears, anything to change it up a bit. I also wouldn't be making any money from it so the rules aren't the same, because personal use is perfectly acceptable for even Disney IP.

[@samanthamelendez8851]

Do eettt

[@loverlyredhead]

​@@ElectricRose9001the personal use part doesn't count if you post it for others, fyi, free or not. IP laws are insane and require the owners of the trademarks to issue take-downs in order to keep their trademarks (hence the Ravelympics drama). If it's changed enough you might be okay.

[@Dee912]

Im so annoyed that I’ve been here since the beginning of your channel… nothing to binge😩 always just anxiously waiting for a new upload!!

I'm sorry, multiple voting is one thing, but BUYING VOTES, this people's choice award really means nothing if you are paying to win. I know people's choice based awards can be popularity contests, but buying votes degrades the whole award thing, especially under 'Visionary'.

[@sunny_hills]

this is exactly the kind of video i want to watch to not feel alone and do mindless tasks, like cleaning or laundry. i can enjoy drama without feeling bad about it. it's fun.

[@appalachiancrochet]

I think you should do a video about crochet artist asking for people to help them out financially by buying their patterns etc. I just saw another one today but then saw a video where they just bought a new computer that they addmitted they didnt really need but it's fun spending money! I just hate knowing that people are getting taken advantage of by these people pulling on their heart strings when they are way better off financially than the people that are helping them.

[@laurensmith5975]

I want to Thank you, i lost my love of crochet, probably i dont have anyone to talk about it with or do it with. I found your channel when i stumbled apon crochettok during the wool and folk debockable. Saying grab a project i found myself rummaging threw my craft closet. Im now making hats for pur homeless community, with my grammies crochet hooks, she just passed away in april and she is the one who taught me an helped me fall in love with crafting especially crocheting. Thank you for giving me a push i didnt know i needed❤

This is so ridiculous, I’m sorry but aren’t these adults? Smh. Social media in itself is a problem. I’ll just sit back with my popcorn and enjoy the show. Thanks Emma for keeping us entertained.

[@Cat008101]

Nah these girls would be doing the same stuff off line. They'd be those PTA mom's that bully other mom's and gossip.

[@TamarLitvot]

@@Cat008101 Having raised 3 children, I know exactly the kind of person you're talking about. I ran afoul (accidentally) of the chief mean-mom. Her cadre of followers called me and yelled at me without even giving me a chance to say a word. I was so surprised -- hadn't dealt with people like that since 11th grade. Actually, even in high school they were not as awful as that.

[@asmrtpop2676]

Bestie these things happened before the internet. Great that you can’t remember it or didn’t experience that or aren’t old enough to have had that experience buuuut.

[@Renaystar]

Oh these things happen all the time, every day. You can choose to participate or ignore it. The choice is yours to make. If you’re never taught how can you expect to learn? If you’ve never sat back and thought about how your words and actions affect others then you won’t hold yourself accountable for what you’ve done. Easier said than done I know. Def easy to fall into it. Just gotta keep your eyes and ears open to those around you. And what I meant about social media, is that it has become easier than ever to participate in. Back in the day it stayed within your “area”, now it’s everywhere for everyone to see and know about around the world. I feel for these ladies, livelihoods and business suffered because of what was done and said. It’s harder to recover when everyone knows what happened. 😔

[@Dumpknoedel]

Everytime you post I get SO excited, impeccable quality content

[@thebadpoet]

Why is this soothing to watch/listen to while actively trying to soothe the real life drama between the knitting club and the “membership committee sponsored” needle arts club in my apartment complex? We all just want to make nice things with fiber, why is this so hard? (Though, to be honest, I’d really love to find a tattoo artist to drag along to “needle arts” club just to see what the other members do)

[@barijade]

the way I actually choked on my veggies when you said that she said "i'm just a guy in this world". As a guy who crochets, and knowing that we are rather few and far between in yarn spaces, none of us would actually say such things LOL

@@gam8ligant First of all, calling someone a narcissist is not the same as saying they have narcissistic personality disorder. Second, Kayte certainly meets some of the criteria of NPD as described in DSM-5-TR. However, whether she has NPD as opposed to narcissistic traits can not be determined by someone on the internet.
