@makeanddocrew My crocheted items are gonna stay exactly where they can be appreciated—with me! I can’t be the only one the only one that feels this way. Have you ever given crocheted gifts that were under-appreciated? Or do you show your love through your stitches, regardless of how they’re received? I have to stop myself from adopting all the crochet orphans at the thrift store or I’d never have room for my own projects. I always try to bless the maker behind the handiwork though. ❤️ #makeanddocrew #crocheterofinstagram #crochetblanketsarethebest

Thrift store finds answer questionfrom @makeanddocrew

[01]

Overview

The creator showcases a series of handmade crocheted blankets and items found for sale in a thrift store. A consistent text overlay asks, "Why don't you crochet gifts?", implying that the presence of these donated, unappreciated items is the answer, a sentiment reinforced by the emphatic "no" in the background music.
