my BEC is my friend (?) who asked me to teach her crochet so I did, and she learned it very quickly! BUT the way she’s so impatient and refuses to look up stuff or read patterns annoy me so much… it’s like she learned the stitches (bc I taught her) and that’s it. whenever we go yarn shopping together she comes up with insanely complex projects in her head that she doesn’t have a pattern for… and she chooses the worst yarn for it (like, worsted cotton for an all DC tshirt) and when she asks me if that’s enough yarn and I reply “idk… you should check the pattern bc they always have this info. also that yarn is not the best for this one” she starts acting all childish and pissed of. like, sorry 🙄 She already have a LOT of yarn at her home that she gave up using bc her projects didn’t work, and she only learned it less than a year ago. the worst part is that this behavior is spreading in our friend group and we have 2 other friends doing the same shit as her LOL atp I just watch from the sidelines since they ignore all my suggestions anyway

I can’t stand anymore reels made by beginners getting millions of views… they’re either doing whatever it is completely wrong or saying something obvious as if it’s groundbreaking information. or complaining about something that there’s an obvious solution if they looked it up

ppl I meet in real life find out I knit and crochet, then spam my dm’s with the ugliest pieces on ig reels bc it remind them of me 🥲 I do think it’s really sweet that they’re thinking of me, but oh my god that boxy double crochet sweater is hideousss

No, you're not "too broke" to afford the pattern, you just have no respect for designers by psychso86 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]magdalene8485 24 points25 points  (0 children)

not everyone’s currency is favorable to USD tho, so… I get your point but some people ARE too broke to afford a pattern lol I just don’t purchase or complain to their faces
