Description
Why do crocheters frog hours of work, skip gauge, play Yarn Chicken, hide WIPs for years, and still start another project?
Tonight on PodCraft, we’re talking about the weird crochet habits so many of us have in common... and the psychology behind why we do them.
We’ll talk about Frog-or-Die, Stitch Count Gaslight, Gauge Denial, Yarn Chicken, WIP Witness Protection, the “Can You Make Me One?” Effect, and handmade gift burnout.
Grab your current WIP and join the conversation!
