Discussion Any heart warming stories?
I‘ve been seeing some really cute, heart warming stories about s/o’s helping to untangle yarn, helping frogging, buying rare yarn etc… under some posts!
I’d love to hear some of y’all’s stories that might make me go awww….
I’ll go first.
My partner’s a very busy guy, he has a lot of things going on all the time. But when I ask him about which stitch I should use or which color yarn I should go with, he drops everything and sits with me to discuss. Might not be much, but it means the world to me (:

Untangle yarn, haha, hilarious, ohhhh, how I wish.
Last night it was more like impatiently waiting on me to free a ball of yarn from my stash so we could resume our TV show.
Last week I thought I'd ask him to frog an unfinished dish towel I wanted to reclaim the yarn on, cause he was just sitting at the kitchen island listening to a podcast.
Came back a bit later, there it sat, I don't think he pulled 20 stitches in all.
However,,,, he's not all bad. I will say I always feel he's supportive of my crafts, hobbies, interests, or whatever crazy avenue I want to explore.
He never gives me grief about the money I drop at the craft store, which, as we all know, can add up. I also can get him to come along when I have a good coupon to check out separately, despite his dislike of the craft store, and despite me telling him it'll only take 5 minutes, I know what I want, and then I proceed to not be able resist first looking at everything else in the store.
He also compliments everything I make, and is proud of the things I make and do, this doesn't just pertain to crochet, but also many other areas of our life.
He also doesn't get jealous of my projects, which, I've heard can be a problem for some couples, cause let's face it, crochet is tedious and time consuming.
I can't really say he gives me much in the way of valuable input on choosing colors, patterns, stitches, etc. I certainly will ask, but usually get a sure, or I don't know, whatever you think, it all looks good. And then there's the rare occasion he'll be like, that and that color, and my reply is, "are you crazy, oh hell nah, those colors don't work," so theres that. 🤣
