So cruel

Sure but you do it because its cathartic for you, they invented machines to do the work that make more quality sweaters made of hybrid fibers that dont itch, before you were even born. So you may work hard, but only because you find peace in the work, not because the hard work is required.

That being said, hard work is relative, and while the hours may be long and monotonous, knitting, crocheting, sewing, is not physically exhausting work. So maybe that's why they dont take you seriously when you try to get across how much you value the gift you are giving, because you've built up the value in your own head.

I appreciate the sweaters I get from my mom (she made me a beardo hat that I asked for :) ) but she doesnt sit down and knit for me, she sits down and onits for herself, and sometimes I get a small gift out of it.
