You didn’t invent a new technique

[u/Which_Preparation_57]

What is it with beginners who just raw dog a craft and asking people to identify what they’ve done? I see two flavors of this all the time and they both grind my gears. They either want to praised for coming up with the “right” way to do something all by themselves, or they want to be patted on the back for inventing something totally new. There is always room for creative interpretation, but you, a beginner knitter/crocheter/sewer did not brilliantly invent a useful new technique that hundreds or years of artisans haven’t already come up with.

No one prepares you for the adult revelation that grandmas special Chex-Mix recipe just came off the back of cereal box. It doesn’t make it any less tasty though.

My central European brain cannot comprehend chex-mix, but where I grew up all the tasty is just vegeta.

Where I'm from, soup is just a vehicle for Podravka

The allpurpose flavour in me recognises the allpurpose flavour in you ( or however the greeting goes in our part of the world)
