So I got commissioned yesterday and I was kind of nervous because I haven’t crocheted in a long time and have never made anything for this person before, but she is apparently beside herself with happiness over the colours I picked & the fact that I agreed to the commission, so I think this is going to go well

#i love crafting for people who are ridiculously enthusiastic about the things i make #long story short a couple months ago while i was clearing out my yarn stash i found a rainbow crochet blanket i made and had forgotten about #and i ended up gifting it to my best friend because i knew she’d love it and i didn’t want to look at it anymore #as i was frankly embarrassed by the mistakes on it (it doesn’t lie flat and is not a square)#and yesterday i went over to her house and her niece (late teens) was there and she said she absolutely loves the blanket and how much #would i charge for a similar one #and i was like ‘i’ll be honest with you: i don’t know if i’ll ever make a similar one’ but she offered money and basically said i don’t have #to use it to buy materials if i don’t want. i can use up yarn from my stash and keep the money as compensation for my time #she just wants a colourful blanket in that specific pattern (which is essentially just one big solid granny square)#so i agreed and sent her a photo of my planned colour scheme and she was delighted because there’s so many shades of blue #(her favourite colour) and overall she just seems to be really happy and excited that i’m actually making it #and now by extension I’M excited to make it #it’s just like. it’s something i’d probably make anyway. i’m using up materials that i need to use up. and i know it’s going to a good home #even if for whatever reason she doesn’t end up wanting it; i already have the money lol. and my best friend is always super enthusiastic #about the things i make so she’d probably take the blanket if her niece didn’t want it #tl;dr i’m just excited about this project. might post a photo when it’s done idk #personal
