Mooooooooooom

OMG.

My mom over dinner: "Hey, so you're knitting right? I don't suppose that you'd have a shawl ready for Tuesday"

Me: *hopeful look, trying to play it cool*
Mom: "...for the birthday of this old lady I know. I don't know what else I can give her. I'll buy it from you."

Burn. BURN! Each sentence as it came out! A knife! Through my heart! A BURNING KNIFE.

I think the absolute worst part of it is that she didn't even refer to her by name, so I knew that I did not know this person at all!

Boo.

My family finally understands that my knitting is my hobby, not their personal request line. Which means they will finally get some knit gifts.

I'm on the opposite end of things. I'm still trying to get up the courage to gift my family members something I've knit. Slowly getting there!
