I love this platform but i thought it was mostly 30+ people on this app. i have no problem
with that obviously but i’m now realizing that a lot of people are middle or high schoolers like

Sorry, I’m 57, disabled so I’m on here at all kinds of different times! But I abso-LOVE seeing so many younger people getting so excited about crochet! I was made fun of back when I started crocheting, because it was considered an “old lady’s” or “grandma” craft, not for young people. But I was desperate to learn and make things! Not really amigurumi back then, but I had plenty of custom afghan orders!! My most memorable was one that was a solid inch thick for a pharmacist I worked with who moved to Seattle from Hawaii and was always so cold. That was the most aggressively crocheted afghan! 8 strands of yarn at once, with a Q hook, slowly dropping one color and adding in another every second row for a sunset look. She bought a LOT of yarn!!

Continuing to crochet and make things despite what other people said just goes to show how much you love it, that’s really inspiring, and that custom order for the pharmacist sounds amazing!
