"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 I've learned that people feel like it's a niced thing to say and not to rant at them about the cost of labour 😂 Just let me create and see if I'll do something with your request.

@Knien I do get that they mean well. The frustration in this post comes from hearing it dozens of times. I want this to stay a hobby for a number of reasons, not least of which is that I do not feel productivity is the most important thing about being human.
