Get a friend who can crochet!

Best part is that it counts as thoughtful since you made it.

German bf as labour was low-key expected XD

I'm gonna be so honest crochet doesn't really feel like an emergency gift 😭 takes so much time, effort, and skill

This gives me flashbacks of when i accidentally said octopus testicles instead of tenticles

[fryingpan]

this is the only reason why i want to learn how to crochet, but i always procrastinate too much 😭😭

A gift like that would mean 10x more to me then if you bought something. I would still appreciate the other gifts but the fact you made it for me means more

That’s not an emergency gift. That’s thoughtful. Gift cards are emergency gifts.

That gift will be a keepsake forever. I cherished every home-made gift for it's a labour of love.

My grandmother crocheted and made so many wonderful things that my family still fights over who gets to keep what, whether it's her blankets, or Christmas stockings, or even little pot holders. They are so treasured in my family. Even my kids are arguing now over who gets to inherit what when they're older! Crotcheters of the world, you are wonderful! Keep putting out your beautiful work in the world ❤

I'm very happy to read all these comments from many kind hearted people... I'm practicing crochet for the past 20 years... I taught it to many friends too...but whenever I gifted crochet gifts which i thought useful to them, many people thought they were cheap because its handmade...i was demotivated n stopped making crochet gifts...now I'm making things only for myself n my daughters...
Kudos to you dear for taking this art forward...the world needs persons like you... keep up your good work...❤

When 2 years ago I was unemployed and broke, my 2 teen cousins kinda wanted Christmas gifts, so I told them, that I couldn't buy them anything, but crochet or knit them something. So I gave them 2 handmade bags, and fantasy jewelry.

OMG That music ignited all my childhood memories.. SUGAR..SPICE..AND EVERYTHING NICE... THE POWERPUFF GIRLS

My wife is an expert knitter/crocheter. I was very skilled in woodwork until arthritis hit my hands.
We both learned very early that you only gift people with your own work if they're capable of appreciating what went into it.
Too many friends - even family - can take a week's hard work, or even a month's - and simply think you're being cheap.
Next time, really DO get them a cheap gift.

Beautiful work! Can I give you a tip? When you insert safety eyes into a project with blanket yarn, they can pull through. If you take a square of material and place it against the crochet work, slip the safety eye through both the crochet and the material, and then put on the safety back, it stays better. :)

If any of my friends ever presented me with a handmade gift like this I would cry. It would go with me everywhere. ❤

Uyen, seeing you have so much fun crocheting made me finally stop putting it off! I went to the dollar store and got some cheap hooks and yarn to start out. I’m nowhere near as good as you yet but I made my first granny square the other day and I’m really proud of it! :)

3 hours? That's amazing. I don't know what crochet is, but the result looks like something that would take way longer to make.
