"Whatcha making?"
I'm #knitting a hat.
"That's really pretty."
Thanks.
"I bet you could make money selling that."
I bet you'd be wrong, but thanks.
"No really, people pay good money for--"
NO. I WON'T. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME. I WOULD RATHER GIVE THIS AWAY FOR FREE THAN EVER SELL IT. I WON'T DESTROY MY OWN JOY BY #MONETIZING A #HOBBY.
"Sheeze, I was just saying..."
Look, I know you mean well, but most knitting takes considerable time and money. And most people think a knitted hat should cost $5-$10. So no.
@Soozcat The next time someone says something like that to me, I want to tie them down and explain to them in Very Small Words why that is a Bad Idea. Starting with the concept of being PAID for your LABOUR.
