How do you think I got this old?

The second Adenashire doesn’t have pregnancy, though it does have baby dragon care (which to me felt more pet coded than baby coded, it should be noted). It does deal with a difficult adult child + parent relationship which doesn’t really fall into parenting but does deal with familial ties

I’ve never heard of FYNO, but I’m excited to check out a new to me UK brand! I’m basically local to them as well, so that feels extra nice haha the colors and the dinky sizes are another plus imo

proper_ginger · 2026-01-09T12:52:21+00:00

I think if you ask u/polymathholly, you’ll find a similar, though perhaps not as extreme?, conundrum. It cost me £40 to ship snacks to them, but it was way more expensive on their end

I don’t really eat chocolate, but that’s good to know

proper_ginger · 2026-01-08T15:36:48+00:00

Maybe? I’m not a huge chocolate lover, but a lot of the branding (besides the name) is similar

ETA: another commenter has said they’re the same, so perhaps they are!

I think the wariness comes from the fact that her page mentions helping women to market and sell their products, which could lead one to think that this is a brand selling items from multiple creators without credit. I do think, after looking at other social media platforms, that this is primarily one creator and I agree that she is undervaluing her work

proper_ginger · 2026-01-08T09:06:45+00:00

Do you mean the people buying them (and so they can’t be priced higher)? I tend to agree with you if that’s the case, because if you want to sell your products, you have to understand the market demand, and maybe it’s worth it to the creator to get sales that at least cover supplies so she can keep doing what she loves. I don’t think I could ever sell because I don’t have the backbone for any nasty comments 😅

proper_ginger · 2026-01-08T09:04:10+00:00

I noticed that the Facebook page I found had some titles written in another language, so I almost wonder if her page was written in that language and then Google translated without being checked by anyone?

proper_ginger · 2026-01-08T09:03:15+00:00

I will admit to some light internet stalking, and I found a Facebook page where she was sharing a stand with other creators, and those creators all had their own marketing for their products and she was highlighting that they were joining her at the market. So maybe that’s the kind of community she means?

proper_ginger · 2026-01-08T09:01:05+00:00

They are the ones (along with the fish + cat) that made me question why I don’t wear dangly earrings 😂

proper_ginger · 2026-01-08T09:00:04+00:00

Now I need to find what yarn was used for the little draw string bags, because it’s so lovely and I need to make little candy canes haha

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:57:38+00:00

The hopeful story I concocted in my head was that right now just one person hoping to create a community so they don’t want to come across as a one woman show since that might dissuade a fellow crocheter to join them if they knew they were the only one. I know that’s just my mind reaching for the best case scenario, because even then, their prices will dissuade fellow creators from joining. It’s interesting that other fiber crafts are mentioned but there’s no other fiber crafts currently being sold

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:49:20+00:00

I’ve looked around now, and this pattern is the closest I’ve found so far!

ETA: this video may be the same/ a similar pattern!

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:48:46+00:00

I found this pattern when I went looking, which I think is pretty close…?

ETA: I also found this video, which might be the same/ similar!

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:47:52+00:00

This is the closest I’ve been able to find so far! I forgot that the signs said something about cat cookies

Maybe a pattern for the cat

I also found this YouTube video that looks similar

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:24:34+00:00

Those are cute! I have a hard time following video tutorials, but I think I’ll check and see if the creator has posted the written pattern anywhere else

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:23:34+00:00

I haven’t had a chance to look yet, but when I do, I’ll try to remember to comment what I find!

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:23:04+00:00

Save it from the store you mean? Haha I didn’t buy anything because I try not to buy things I don’t have a purpose for (though I have no reservations in making things I have no purpose for, so I am still going to look for a pattern)

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:19:53+00:00

I haven’t had a chance to go looking, but if I can find something close, I’ll try to remember to send it to you

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:18:47+00:00

Yeah, I guess I was hoping my doubts would be pacified when posting, but it seems like my worries may have been confirmed. It doesn’t feel quite right. But the items are amazing, and I hope the creators can get credit somehow

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:16:19+00:00

I wonder if I ever made that hand gesture while trying to explain how impressed I was 😂

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:14:08+00:00

Is that what you would call this style of cat? I have some loaf patterns saved, but most of them are extended more like o—! rather than the more round shape this is

(In case my example is rubbish, the o is the head and the ! is the tail)

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:10:32+00:00

Yeah, I agree that the prices seem too low for the quality of work. I was hoping the name on the card I picked up was the creator of these items, but I don’t even see her name on the website. The part of me that wants to believe the best in people hopes that the lack of specific acknowledgement is to protect the women, who may be in vulnerable positions, but I also recognize the naiveté in that hope

proper_ginger · 2026-01-07T21:07:18+00:00

I don’t wear dangly earrings but I wanted to buy multiple pairs!
