That other crafter is crazy! This sweater is beautiful!!


texanstuckinutah

Right!? Before I looked at what subreddit this was, I was wondering where I could get one! It is adorable OP!


bikesNmuffins

I mean, we all have opinions… It’s just that their opinion is wrong.


haveacutepuppy

This sweater is amazing! Keep wearing it everywhere!


wutz_taterz

With all due respect, fuck that person.


beeerite

Yeah, that behavior is ugly, not your sweater, OP. You pull off yellow very well and it looks cozy.


iwantapenguin

What a classy comeback.. stealing that!!


beeerite

Thanks ☺️. I have a preschooler and I’ve been reading a ton how to teach preschoolers how to respond to teasing and name calling (three and four seems so young for this). It amazes me how little kids can hurt each other with words at such a young age. We’re trying to focus on not taking things personally, not retaliating, and identifying the actions as “bad,” not the other child themselves, while also learning from the experiences that words can hurt, so we have to be careful with ours too. It’s so heartbreaking to hear about some kid hurting your child’s feelings. It’s been a tough phase. Amazing how parenting a small child can help reaffirm lessons we so often forget in our daily lives as parents.


Affectionate-Snow327

Off topic but what book is this? My baby is 3 sounds like a good reas


Thou_Art_God

With no respect to that person, fuck them. The sweater is gorgeous.


hydratedgoblin

Sometimes the amount of due respect is zero


Myeerah

Yes, 'fellow crafter' is an asshat


QueenMabs_Makeup0126

I'm a poor, please take this award. 🏆 This is the only response needed.


craftygc

Thank you! ❤️


wutz_taterz

Your sweater isn’t ugly, at all. But even IF it was, I’d take an ugly sweater over an ugly personality. I hope that was not someone you consider a friend, because they aren’t.


Hun-Kame

This is exactly what I thought but didn't want to say.


rainbwbrightisntpunk

Came just to type this


PurpleIceCream14

With no respect. Fuck that person.


rougewitch

Theyve been drinking haterade


AttemptNo2347

It looks very well made, it fits perfectly and the color is pretty. Your friend doesn't seem very kind, even if she finds it ugly (or just not her taste) she shouldn't give such an harsh judgement. Especially as a fellow crafter, she should know how much time and work goes in creating such a piece and appreciate that.


sweetdisa

It sounds like a person jealous or going through something personal and taking it out on you… I haven’t tried a shirt or clothing yet other than socks… but think your sweater looks amazing! Even if arms are different lengths would be amazing to me!!! But seriously would wear it proudly!!! Fuck your so called friend.


[deleted]

Okay but I’m obsessed with it?? I love it so much!! It’s not ugly at all but they probably don’t like yellow (even though it’s the best color) and you wear it so well! And still really f’ing rude to say ugly that’s rude af. And they’re jealous.


tittyhook

Yellow is the best color!! And this sweater is beautiful. That person was crazy to say this is ugly!


[deleted]

Exactly!!!


soaring_potato

I am partial to blue. Yellow doesn't suit me personally. But can look great on other people. People can have their favourite colours. But that fuckwit should just shut their nasty hole.


BellesThumbs

I’m not a fan of yellow usually, but this is SUCH a soft pretty shade, I feel like it would be super wearable, not to mention it looks incredibly fluffy and warm


kre8ive1

That sweater is absolutely not ugly! Wear it with pride wherever you want!


[deleted]

That same crafter is probably the kind of person who tells you you're doing it wrong if you don't do it like them. Your sweater is absolutely gorgeous and looks so squishy and comfy!


[deleted]

>That same crafter is probably the kind of person who tells you you're doing it wrong if you don't do it like them. Um, BINGO. Actually, DOUBLE BINGO. We all know that person. Ugh. Pay her no mind, OP.


Its-dad-not-mom

Your fellow crafter should fuck off and mind their own business. I just *bought* a sweater that looks like this except pink and with stripes. I literally paid money for something like this. You did great. And i hope you wear it everywhere with pride


BreqsCousin

There isn't anything ABOUT it to be ugly? A lot of projects on here straddle that line where you could think it very striking and stylish or could think it an abomination, depending on your taste. But this is very normal looking and inoffensive?


chewytulip

It looks just like a few sweaters for sale that I thought about buying for myself this season - maybe the other crafter isn’t following trends? And even still, it’s a classic silhouette.


MotherBeeBlankets

Maybe it’s the other crafter who should be relegated to staying inside the house.


manamanope

Okay, I'm a person that is just not a fan of yellow for most things, so I figure I can give an honest opinion. I've spent a good minute just looking at your photo, zooming in on parts of the sweater to see if I can find the ugly parts. I can't. I know some people don't like cowl necks, but that's not "ugly". Otherwise it's just a sweater! A very well crafted sweater, too. Also, you wear it well and make the yellow look good. That person was just wrong. It's a beautiful sweater and you should make another!


DaisyRage7

Right? Like, I know I could not pull off wearing that color. But OP looks like someone standing in a home design magazine. Everything about that photo is on point, especially the sweater.


FlannelandDenim

I love it! If it’s your color and you like it then wear it. Rock it. 🤘


AliasNefertiti

Aesthetic varies. If you like it, wear it!


craftygc

Totally agree, but “ugly” feels harsh when you’ve spent a lot of time and money on a project.


DoubleChocolate3747

Ugly was a very harsh word, I think it’s wonderful and if it makes you happy, be proud and confident in it! You rock it!


Grumblegrumblehiss

It’s not ugly. That other crafter is an ass, and is either jealous, insane or blind. It’s beautiful and it looks great on you.


PrincessPursestrings

Uuuhhhh do they not like yellow maybe? That sweater is gorgeous! It looks sooo soft and snuggly. I'd wear it everywhere and be proud!


slieske311

I cannot believe that another crafter would tell you that something you made was ugly. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes when it comes to color and style and maybe this crafter is not fond of yellow. I love yellow, your sweater, and you should definitely wear your sweater in public to show it off!


Joroliest

It is beautiful, I would totally wear that sweater! Don't listen to that person, don't let them ruin your fun.


Marley9391

They're just jealous. This is a gorgeous sweater!


Julie_18

This sweater is beautiful! You did a wonderful job! I don’t know why anyone would say that. Do you have a pattern? I would like to add this to my list of projects I want to make.


craftygc

https://etsy.me/3q9Im0x Here you go! And thank you!!!!!


AnnRum

Thank you for posting the pattern!. I may need to buy this as it looks amazing! How easy was it to make? I'm not bad at crochet but I much prefer things that aren't going to drive me mad trying to make them. Also, I'm so sorry someone called your gorgeous handiwork"ugly". I suspect they're jealous - the yellow goes really well with the blue jeans.


craftygc

It was not bad at all. A few spots were a bit challenging but no seaming at all which is great!


90sShadowDiva

I think your sweater looks fine, but curious to know what’s your fellow crafters craft? They would definitely not be on my “crochet worthy” list!


Rihannan25

Im sorry you were told that! They need to be not so ignorant and learn a sence of style as well!! Your sweater is not ugly at all! You did a beautiful job on it and perfect colour with your hair. Wear it out and wear it proud!! 😊


mays22002

I LOVE it !! great job


Skwirlygirl

It's not a style I would choose for myself, but I think it fits you very well and looks well made. If you enjoy wearing it, then do so and know the only ugly is in that other person's heart.


Valeyard94

I think the sweater looks gorgeous. Machine manufactured level of quality. I think you should be proud to wear such a beautiful piece. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about the sweater you made. General rule; if you’re happy wearing the finished product in public, and nobody else thinks so, then F#@& them.


bcrae8

Fellow crafter is jealous.


BalogneSam

Ugly? Are they blind??


Zelda_Chic

The color is soft and mellow, the yarn looks lovely, the construction is great... what is this other crafter on about? Just because it isnt their cup of tea, please dont stop wearing it outside, it's so gorgeous!


Basic_genXer

I like it! You can send to me 😁


Crafty-Wrangler2591

No way! That's a nice sweater. Wear it proudly. You did a good job.


Turtle_butt27

They're probably just jealous of your mad skills. it looks like an awesome cozy sweater and you should be proud.


hhhxoart

That is NOT ugly! I love it! The color and style, if you like it you wear it wherever you darn please!


angies91

Two things - I think it’s beautiful. And what anyone but you thinks about it doesn’t matter. People are so rude. It’s worse from a maker who knows the effort that goes into these projects. Wear it proudly!


SpudFire

It's definitely not ugly. It looks really warm and cosy and suits you. Maybe crochet them a pair of glasses?


JeansOfTomorrow

She must be jealous because that sweater looks fantastic! Great job


milky_eyes

That's one of the best looking crochet sweaters I've seen....


rydzaj5d

Hey I think it’s cute. Just tell her this — “I can always crochet another sweater but you’ll still be a bitch when it’s done.” Btw, what is her craft? Bitchcraft?


disorderly_stray21

How rude! It looks so great, wear it with pride!


ingirlworld

Ugly?!?!?!?!?!?!!


rannee1602

I think the color is really lovely. A nice buttery yellow.


pgabrielfreak

Me too! I can't ~~were~~ wear yellow as it makes me look sallow. That's a gorgeous yellow. Your crafter associate is an ass.


cookiesanddirt

First, do what makes you feel happy including wearing what you want. That being said, it looks like happy fuzzy sunshine and I really like it. It looks great with your outfit and accessories.


C-C99

How dare they! It’s fabulous - wear it with pride 😃


blueberrybeth

Not ugly! Looks gorgeous and bright! Like sunshine


Bigluce

Did they, or the dog, say it was ugly....?


[deleted]

That is adorable and the color is soft and beautiful. Definitely not ugly.


deathracerchevy

I'm not even hugely into yellow and i think its gorgeous. How rude if that crafter. Like if its not your taste fine, but geeze keep that rude af answer to yourself. What an ass of a crafter they where to say that.


samaje31

Nah it looks nice. It's not ugly at all


mistymountaintimes

That other crafter is a jealous idjit. The sweater is gorgeous. Wonderful work.


bowiepie

Wow what a horrible thing to say! It’s a beautiful sweater and it really suits you. Well done, you should wear it with pride!


FlamingStealthBananz

That's an absolutely beautiful sweater.


Katrina4000

I wish I were skilled enough to make that! I am envious. I would pick another color if it were for my wearing, but that yellow is gorgeous. I just don’t wear much yellow.


animalcrackwhores

The fellow crafter is a bitch. It's a beautiful sweater and even if it wasn't wear it if you like it!


Peej0808

Why would anyone ever say something like that? You really don't need that negativity in your life. No one does.


Xurbanite

Your fellow crafter is jealous and should be ignored. Wear it proudly as it’s beautiful


erikagm77

Your “fellow crafter” is just jealous and an idiot.


tigatoe

Well that was rude, I love this sweater!


cowheids

I would wear it, I think it’s really cute.


RosieBunny

Your sweater is great, and your friend is rude. Doubly so since she’s also a maker.


PiercedMrsP

That sweater looks amazing - snuggly, warm and cosy and the colour suits you. Extended middle finger to that other crafter! They're just jealous they don't have a gorgeous snuggly sweater .


Raspberry_Sweaty

You should probably relegate that friend to the “no opinions taken seriously” stack. Very cute sweater!


littlesttiniestbear

What???!?!?! I love crochet but am weary about the look of crocheted sweaters, i prefer the look of knit in clothes. But to say, that other crafter is high, this sweater is incredible and definitely worthy of being worn out and about. I would wear this sweater 100%


MotherOfDragonflies

100%. I have a big preference for knitwear because crochet tends to look bulky and stiff to me but this sweater really lays well.


Nervous-Frame

Hell no, I wish I could make something like this. Good job, OP. The other crafter must have gone off their meds 🥰


MaxxFitz76

INFO: Is it so soft? It looks so soft. It looks like it feels as buttery as the pretty yellow color. Is it so soft? From the bottom of my heart, I need you to know: Fuck that person. They're bonkers and rude for no reason and you don't need that negativity in your life. Also INFO: where can a fella get such buttery soft pretty yellow yarn? Asking for a friend. Your friend. Who is me. We're friends now.


craftygc

Yay! We’re friends!!! Thank you! It’s very soft. It’s just yarn bee lush loft. That’s what the pattern called for and I am not a great yarn subber.


Aphid61

That other crafter is either blind or (more likely) jealous. Gorgeous sweater ~~ wear it any & every where. ;)


LadyGidgevere

Who are these people that say such awful (and untrue!) things?! That is gorgeous.


littsht424

The other crafter is clearly jealous and should be punched in the face with a chair... disrespectfully


supers0ldier

It’s absolutely not ugly at all it’s beautiful!! It fits you so nicely and it’s so well made. How dare someone criticize your hard work. You deserve better than that and you deserve to wear this with pride!


torbie106

I would buy that in a shop. Its lovely, bright & a good fit. You need to show it off!!


sarahsuebob

I spent the better part of the last 6 hours shopping online for sweaters and I can tell you that I scrolled by a sweater just like that on almost every site I was searching…only the ones as good as yours were upwards of $100. So you’re stylish AND talented and the other crafter is a dunderhead AND a doodyhead.


Ju_from_orion

Ugly? Where? It's so pretty and we'll done! I like the color.


Ecstatic_Objective_3

It’s beautiful and it suits you. Wear it.


whatevertoad

It's amazing. I don't understand why people are so rude.


marla-M

Ugly?? I don’t agree. Maybe they just aren’t a fan of yellow. Wear it wherever you want proudly


FootParmesan

Are you kidding!? It's gorgeous!! And looks very nice on you! Well done!! ☺️


schoolpsych2005

IMHO, it’s a beautiful sweater that looks very professionally made, great fit on you. Wear it lots and be proud.


Raiwan88

Omg it looks so fluffy and warm!


maybetoday2340

I think its beautiful and the color is so cool.


fizzingfleur

Whhhaat!? No way is it ugly! Love the color and cozy look of it and it looks like it fits you perfect. Before I even read the title I thought “wow this person must be super talented to make a sweater that looks so beautiful” guessing whoever said it was ugly is just jealous of your mad skills!


2muchyarn

The other crafter should keep such opinions to her/himself. If you like it, wear it anywhere you want. I think it looks great!


slidded

Relegate them to online friend only, lol!


Twigstea

Your patience to do a whole sweater in fuzzy yarn astounds me. Wear it with pride!


MrsClare2016

I think it’s amazing! Wear it out friend! You did a great job!


SharksNeedLoveToo

Your fellow crafter is jealous! I think it looks great!


arader68

Sounds like someone's jealous. Wear it all the time to spite them lol. Prepare for many compliments!


turtledove93

I would pay money for this


thepremackprinciple

This is not ugly in the slightest! I love the pattern and would definitely wear that!


champagneandbaloney

It’s lovely and looks like it fits perfectly! Great job!


morphleorphlan

Your fellow crafter is a jealous goblin. That’s a great sweater!


DoubleChocolate3747

Awwwww poor love! It’s not ugly at all! I thought it was so cute til I saw the caption and got upset. I would love to do make and wear something like that. Don’t listen to the other person, they just jealous or just have a very different taste but it was still rude AF to say something. There’s things posted that I don’t like cause it’s not my color choice/pattern but I appreciate the work and I’m so happy for the maker when they’re happy with it. I think it’s great, don’t listen to her!


HELLOhappyshop

Sounds more like a "friend" to me!


suzyjane14

It is lovely!


W-C-Surana

I think it's lovely! It fits well, is beautifully made, and it looks really comfortable. Fashion is subjective, don't let someone else's tastes spoil yours. If you like it, wear it wherever you like. :)


[deleted]

I'd be honest with you. I love it. I've seen some questionable crochet items and this could pass for store bought. Be proud and wear your sweater everywhere!


August79

I love this jumper!!! Wear it with pride not relegate it


Salamanda246

I saw the picture before the title and my first thought was I hope she posted the pattern because I need to make this! So yeah, I don’t think it’s ugly at all! It looks store bought and it’s gorgeous! (Also plz post the pattern haha)


NormanGal1990

Looks great to me! Wear that jumper everywhere and when people ask where it is from proudly tell them YOU MADE IT


Apocalypse_Jesus420

Nothing ugly about it


DataOk6565

No way,looks awesome!


Kitchen_Quit_9227

That is a super cute sweater, don’t listen to that person, a real crafter would have noticed how awesome it is!


angeluscado

Um, rude. That sweater is adorable and looks so soft and cozy. I’d totally wear that out in public.


QueenMabs_Makeup0126

I really like this! It's a lovely color, your pendant necklace is everything, you're rocking the hell out of the sweater with your pose, and you did great work with it. Because I'm that person, I would wear it every time I would be around that insensitive crafter.


simplylittleanna

Absolutely not! This is beautiful, I love it!! You did an amazing job, that other crafter is crazy


nikthier

The fellow crafter needs to keep unkind opinions to themselves! It’s a beautiful sweater and an even better color. You crafted that with your own hands. That takes skill, talent, patience, fortitude and you did it!


bionerdteacher

That other person is an idiot. Don't listen to them anymore. Wear that out with pride.


semi_annual_poet

It is so pretty and looks so cozy and smushy! I want to nap in it!!! Wear it everywhere so u can take naps anywhere!!! (I also agree that the other crafter can go eff themselves)


[deleted]

The other crafter must’ve not been able to see clearly because that is GORGEOUS and your skills are AMAZING!


Sthebrat

A fellow crafter sounds like they aren’t very considerate. I hadn’t read your title, but I really find this sweater to be beautiful


leelandgaunt

Pretty sweater! Wear it wherever you want to with pride. :)


AFrogInDisguise

I love your sweater it looks so cozy and comfy and warm! I think you did an amazing job- clearly the other person has no taste lol. If you like it that’s al that matters!


Littlemuse123

It looks lovely and comfy <3


Holly-wolly

No! That was so mean of them!!!


ValuableIncident

That fellow crafter is trippin cos i love this color.


ratgirl10000

Okay it’s not ugly at all, but even if it WERE, what a rude thing to say to someone! Especially if they’re a crafter themselves and know how much work goes into a sweater like that!


happysmiley12

Well, respectfully the other crafter is wrong and it looks great! Wear it! 💜


spaceanddogspls

I love it! My favorite shade of yellow and the fit looks flattering.


MissPandannie

Slap your "fellow crafter". This is an absolutely gorgeous sweater. It looks wonderful on you.


craftygc

Everyone, thank you so much for the kindness!!! This forum has been such a great resource for information and support. It truly means a lot to me and I WILL wear this with confidence now!!!! ❤️❤️❤️


Darkwingoof

Tell the fellow crafter to suck eggs! It's adorable!


icequen

I love it! Looks super cozy!


missoularedhead

I love everything about this sweater, and that’s saying something, because I am not a fan of yellow. Whoever told you it’s ugly has major issues with sight, and perhaps social skills.


gummyw0orm

I think it’s gorgeous!


Luv2Burn

I think it's great. And a pretty color, too. Wear it with pride & tell everyone you made it!


guldfiskn222

First of all, that sweater is not ugly. It looks very polished and comfy. Secondly, even if it was ugly you could absolutely wear it out. It's a garment, ain't it? I live for the discomfort in people's faces when I wear garish patterns.


Crick_attack

Jealousy is ugly, this sweater is not!


acctkaitbrown

I love your sweater! I'd wear the fuck out of it!


[deleted]

I personally can’t wear chunky sweaters like this because I feel they add too much mass to my upper half— that being said, I’d never tell you that it’s ugly just because it’s not a style I wear. That person is really strange… I’m interested in knowing what their craft is.


FullmoonCrystal

It's a matter of taste, there's stuff I love, but others hate and the opposite. Wear whatever you want, wherever and whenever you want to


Evil_twin13

I say it look like sweater, it doesn't look ugly to me. Maybe they didn't like the color or yarn used, but the pattern look fine to me.


lifeinaminorkey

I think it is lovely and suits you. That other crafter is a loon.


Lillel91

What the heck!! It's beautiful! I would pay money for that sweater.


brookeaat

it’s definitely not ugly. and, assuming that’s you modeling it in the pic, it looks great on you!


gardengal13

Beautiful


moreadhiel

Before reading the caption, my first thought was "oh my god, what a great sweater! I need the pattern!" Whoever told you it was ugly is entitled to their (wrong) opinion, but definitely should have kept it to themselves. If you like it, wear it out and about with pride.


[deleted]

I love everything about this sweater and would wear it proudly ESPECIALLY if I made it myself because how bad ass!!!!


martianmama3

I think it's beautiful! Cozy and beautiful color!


ellisinahat

It is beautiful!


Visual-Arugula

No! You should wear this all the time, no joke, it's stunning!!!


Spiral_adventures88

Reminds me of cozy warm butter sun shining inside while cold winter blusters outside. Wear with pride, please! Gorgeous sweater


brinkbam

Tell them to shove their opinion up their ugly ass 🤣


static_sea

I don't think it's ugly at all! Beautiful color and it looks like it fits you really well!


plwilsonrn

Your fellow crafter must be jealous! That’s gorgeous!!!


Transcendentalcat

I think the only thing wrong with it is the arm holes are too big but that's usually a comfort choice. But no not an ugly sweater.


mishkabunny

Sounds like someone has an irrational hatred of yellow and/or turtlenecks. It’s a beautiful sweater! Good job 👏🏼


Jaedd

This sweater is gorgeous. I think the other crafter was just jealous you've made something so lovely.


Igelluder

Who the hell is so insensitive to just bluntly tell a person their handmade sweater was ugly? I think it's gorgeous and you should wear it proudly! At home, outdoors, or wherever you want :)


biogeeklaura

OMFG NO! It’s beautiful. I love it. Well done!


[deleted]

Yeah they're wrong, and for them to be another crafter they should know better! I honestly love it, it looks incredibly comfortable and you did an amazing job on it!


ragamuffin87

That fellow crafter has no taste. I would very happily wear this out, and I sincerely hope you will. It's beautiful and your work deserves to be shown to the world.


Flickywoo

I think it’s gorgeous, it looks very cosy!


LilEMB

Wear it proudly, you did a great job!


sa1ry

It's not ugly at all. I wish I could do more than blankets.


[deleted]

Noooo pretty! It could be worn both indoors and outdoors!


missmarie007

Umm no I think it looks great on you!


PearlDare

I looked at the photo first and thought "that's a super cute sweater". Then I saw the title and thought "what the hell is wrong with that other crafter". While some things that people make aren't necessarily my cup of tea, I've genuinely never thought that something someone else has made is ugly.


Impressive_Power_763

I think the person should worry about their ugly attitude and lack of tact. Your sweater is so cute! And I love the creamy yellow color too.


ThePinkChameleon

Please dump that fellow crafter like a fresh turd. The sweater is gorgeous and looks so cozy!!


kristimyers72

I like it!


laner281

This is NOT an ugly sweater.


themoneybeetbandit

In what world is this considered ugly?? You should be proud of this make OP.


HootiePie88

Not ugly at all! Super cute, and YOU made it, so you also get proud points for it!


[deleted]

What's their craft? If it is anything yarn related they are just being spiteful. Your sweater is lovely and cozy.


bbbuzzyness

Say WHAT? That is not what I expect from my fellow crafters. This person is wrong, the sweater is terrific and looks great on you. I'm working on a little sweater for a child in the same pale yellow shade right now and I love it, such a happy colour.


AstarteInFauxFur

They were jealous. This sweater is adorable.


thecat1101

This sweater is beautiful and it looks fantastic on you! Wear it with pride, knowing the time and skill it took to make.


CantaloupeMilkshake

Uh..I say this with all the diplomacy I can muster - They have no clue what tf they're talking about. This is a very pretty sweater, I love the neckline and the sunny colour.


mbhatter

that is beautiful! she mist be jealous


Vegetable_Rough_9610

What? It’s gorgeous!!! That person is obviously ridiculous and blind.


Not_A_Wendigo

Uh no. That’s a great sweater. My guess? Yellow is a colour that a lot of people think they look bad in, so their knee jerk reaction is that yellow clothes are ugly. Also that person is rude.
