Last Week in Knitting Patterns: 2018.5

Oh hai!  I just decided to make a post about the most eye-catching patterns released on Ravelry in the last week.  We'll see how long I keep this up for, eh?

A PSA On Sugar

This is originally from a post I made on Next Door. If I missed something, or you think I'm wrong somewhere, I'm absolutely up for discussion!  Just keep it civil (no ad hominem) please! But first, some back story for everyone.  Seattle passed a sweetened beverage tax and someone on Next Door made not one, but two, trolling posts about it.  The sides are, as you might expect, 1) don't tell me what I can and can't do with my body and make my Coca Cola more expensive and 2) sugar is evil and people need to be saved from themselves.   As I say below, I don't particularly care one way or the other.  But one of my soap boxes is people making scientific claims that aren't founded.  This one I am addressing is mostly the trend of things like coconut or palm sugar and people saying "Use this instead of refined white sugar, it's way better for you!".
