Mini rant that has nothing to do with anything but I'm still very passionate about lol ✨
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you find a crochet item on Temu, or Amazon, or Shein, or any other fast fashion store, I BEG of you. DO NOT BUY IT. If you thought regular fast fashion was unethical, crochet is a WHOLE other level of evil. Crochet literally CANNOT be replicated by a machine and mass produced the same way knitting can. Which means for every cute cardigan, every amigurumi plush, every hat, some REAL PERSON had to spend SEVERAL. HOURS. just to make that. Carefully stitching in every single detail for most likely days, with how long crochet takes.
Yes, it's more expensive, but buying ethically from a small business or making it yourself will ALWAYS be a better option.
I'm not saying if you've already bought crochet you're a terrible person, I just really want to bring awareness to this because as a crocheter myself, it really really rubs me the wrong way every time I see one of those crochet Amazon cardigans. Like I swear those shouldn't be legal, anyways, thanks for listening, have a great rest of ur day 💔✌️
