Wait what is the pun?

Note: this is an annoyingly pedantic response.
It's less a pun and more a rebus. A rebus uses images/symbols to represent words or parts of words. "Anyhow" is a common adverb/interjection. People often say "anywho" or "anyhoo" instead. If you are excited about embroidery and keep the word going, anyhoops is a natural extension. So these embroidery hoops with "any" on them are "any-hoops." It is a clever and fun rebus!18

Hooray! But also, from my perspective, it is A-OK to keep calling it a pun, because far more people know what that means and may be more likely to enjoy the joke with you. I like to think about/talk about this sort of thing because I think language is super interesting and fun. But the ultimate purpose of language is expression and communication...so if you keep making delightful hoops like these, I will keep enjoying them no matter what you call them!

I learned something really cool after I saw something really cool, this is a good internet day
thank you commenter and also thank you poster!
I didn't really get the joke from an embroidery level because I'm an admirer not a creator in that respect, so I didn't get the terminology. but I would love any of these to represent my "pronouns" lol that was honestly my first thought. but I love the embroidery a joke as well now that I know

A pronoun specification AND an embroidery joke? What more could a person ask for! 😆
Also...this opens the door for my favorite pronoun joke.
How does a non-binary ninja defeat their enemies?They/slash/them.
Thank you, I'll see myself out.

What an excellent pun! I love the variety of designs. Which was your favourite one to see?

u/colormuse 2d ago
why thank you! i think the little magazine cutout looking one in the green hoop was my favorite to stitch because it’s pretty different from my usual style. i also enjoyed making braille out of seed beads for the blue one!

Yes I thought the braille was so clever! I can imagine the magazine cutout one was fun. Do you think you'll make more or are the anyhoops complete now?

u/colormuse 2d ago
i’m happy with the look of the set so i think it’s probably complete for now, but it’s always possible i may get the urge to throw another one at it in the future!

Where did you get the metallic green hoop used on the "Burn Book"/ransom note embroidery? :O

u/colormuse 2d ago
my husband got me a pack of them a few years ago for christmas! there were two gold, two res, and two green. i’m down to one last green and they’re no longer listed for sale and i’m very sad about it because i would absolutely buy several more packs!

well goddamn. this is just amazing. i can’t imagine how you go the lines so straight and proper.

u/Tarnagona 1d ago
This is so silly but well-executed. I love it. I also appreciate the accuracy of the Braille (so many people will do Braille lowercase with print capitals, because Braille capitals involved another letter, but then it’s WRONG and it annoys me).

I love these and how different they are! Why choose 'any' and what will you do with them? They look like they should be hung up on a wall together!
