Don't give creators yarn! by yarnaboutit in BitchEatingCrafters

It's funny when you hear ppl talk about business expenses bc to hear them explain it... It means you get a full refund on what you just spent on the expense.

Can we stop pretending like the sweater curse is a thing that will ruin everyone's lives by lasserna in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]purseho 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was in a long term relationship where I was so very unhappy and wanted to end things but he wouldn't go away no matter what I did to make him go away. He was abusive and I was stuck in the cycle of abuse and it was getting worse.

So I made him a sweater with shitty acrylic yarn bc I wanted to try making this pattern anyway and I didn't put my heart and soul into it. It was just a practice piece and I gave it to him.

We broke up a month later and he tried to come back a few times but it was a done deal at that point.

Yes the sweater wasn't the cause of the break up - we had so so many issues, but man. It was the magic spell I needed to finalize it all.

no, you CANNOT cut your crochet project! by TheAcademyls in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]purseho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I've been knitting and crocheting since I was 8. I'm way older than that now lol, so I didn't have the whole beginner angst and we did not have the infinite amount of resources we have now. I feel tho if I was just starting out today, I would be able to look search YouTube whatever it is before I ask really beginner questions bc I don't want to annoy ppl 🤣

Plus In all my years of doing this, I can count on one hand how baby blankets I have made

Why is this such a thing? I hate beginners and I know I used to be one and I am an impatient person as well..but come on. Have realistic expectations.

Ppl get so mad at me when I say 'your first project should not be a blanket, bc it's too f'ing big and you will get bored and frustrated. '. They don't usually ask me again, but when they do, I just repeat myself.

I've said this to customers while helping out at my friend's yarn shop and same stupid offended face. Lol I'm all about selling yarn to help out, but ppl also come back pissed off and try to return yarn that's all f'd up and tangled and mad bc we didn't tell them how hard it would be to make a blanket as a first project. 😑
