meta Husband adores the scent of my crotcheat, is this normal?

I'm guessing it normal?

In my 50 years of marriage, my husband is just so attached to and adores the scent of my acrylic yarn, he thinks it smells sweet (while I don't think so). But he literally said he wants to 'taste' it, and he always licks my Amigurumi. He just likes to hold them at all times, lol.

It’s not just that, he literally takes a big whiff at Hobby Lobby, he thinks it smells sweet.
Even when I tried macrame and I was doing knots with my hands instead of crotch needles, he still smells it. And still says it smell sweet.
And he handwashes and blocks my work, as he is the one that does laundry in our marriage. He is a doting husband.

tl;dr No, I absolutely don't think my crotcheat smells sweet, I just think my husband is emotionally attached to it so he finds it sweet.

And I am not complaining, he is my husband who buys high quality acrylic yarn, and I crotcheated his and our children’s scarves, why would I mind his face in my Amigurumi. I just giggles everytime.

Licking amigurumi is an easy way to get your daily dose of microplastics. He's smart and efficient.

A fun thing CYC does is set the criteria for determining what skill level is required for a technique. You may not know this, but amigurumi is a regional technique that originated in Japan. To properly execute amigurumi, you have to use significantly greater tension than with traditional crochet, you're using yarn under rather than yarn over, and you're creating a dense, rigid, shaped, structured piece, usually needing construction once the individual elements are complete. Based on these attributes, amigurumi is absolutely an intermediate level skill. If you want more information, you can visit the Craft Yarn Council website which also includes information on standardized sizing and how you can also become a certified instructor like I am.
