Yāall ever feel like your friends donāt quite understand the amount of effort and difficulty of the things you make? Like, I just made a hooded vest, with no pattern, in less than a week! And I sent a pic to my friend and all I got back was āi love it, looks greatā. Iām sorry if this sounds self absorbed, I donāt mean to be, but I feel like that deserves at least wow!, yk? Iād love to hear yāallās stories too

I have a lot of friends who donāt get it at all. Iām in my mid 40s, so this bites even harder, because most of them have interests and skills that take a lot of effort, and I always recognize the work theyāve put into whatever they do.
Another friend is a crocheter, and she is so harsh on me. Sheās been crocheting for over 30 years. Iāve been crocheting for 9 months x.x But she never has a kind word for anything I make. I honestly cannot wait for the day that I make something that she cannot deny is amazing. Then I can say something about her lack of encouragement, especially when I know how much I encourage her happiness x.x

Buddy, I showed a frog to my bestie and she said āCoolā and ignored it for the entire day.

Yea, I understand. But tbh to me, I would have said the same thing because I find it really hard to judge how much effort something takes if I donāt do it myself, so it could be that your friend struggles with that. But yea, making any crocheted clothing takes a lot of work especially with no pattern! And a lot of the time my friends donāt understand how much yarn is used for crocheting and how much that costs, so when they ask me to make them something I have to tell them that I donāt have the yarn.
