Hi. So one of my friends commissioned me to knit them a bunny stuffed animal. Since they’re tight on money we agreed to a price of $18. The other day I asked them what colors they want for the bunny. Next thing I know, the friend’s partner is telling me that since Christmas and New Year’s are over, they need time to relax , and to stop pressuring them. I was not pressuring them. I was simply asking the colors so I could be prepared. What would you do if you were in my situation?

I personally find them ridiculous you are not in a position where you even can pressure them it’s the other way around, at this point you can’t do anything. Just wait a week or so then ask again otherwise there’s literally nothing you can do.

I would give it about a week or two and ask again. Then if this doesn’t work after 1 or 2 times, then personally I think it’s on them for not responding, and they should hold you to making it since you didn’t pressure them in any way. I hope everything works out tho.

If it were me I’d just tell my friend and my friends partner that ok when or if they decide to let me know that they actually meant that they wanted the bunny and can answer A simple question, that they can contact me first and then and only then would I even begin to gather the supplies, and that the original agreed price has a time limit since costs of supplies tend to increase.
Never let yourself be made to feel bad because you are asked to do them a favor and make something at a reduced price, and then when you ask a basic question to get told off. It sounds to me like either your friend or their partner has changed their mind and aren’t brave enough to just let you know.
