“You know you can buy a ten pack of socks at walmart for, like, $2.99, right?”
If you are a knitter, you’ve probably skewered at least one person with your double-pointed needles for asking this question.
It’s not just knitters – people ask crafters of all stripes the same type of question:
Why sew when you can go to the mall and get five shirts in half the time?
Why make a card when Hallmark sells them for a couple bucks?
Why is there a knitting needle in my eyeball?
BECAUSE IT MAKES ME HAPPY, GODDAMMIT.
Enjoy your 10-pack of plain white socks for Christmas, cause you ain’t gettin’ NUTTIN’ handmade from me. *triple snap*
so true. and yes, I’ve thought about giving those people gifts that I’ve made and decided they won’t be appreciated, so I’ve just gotten them store bought gifts. i think what most people don’t think about/care about is the quality of the items.
