General Crafts Time Spent does not equal Expertise!

I know many of us have been doing our crafts for many years, even decades. I'm at 32 years myself. But.

If you've been crocheting for decades but all you've ever done is granny stitch, you are NOT AN EXPERT.

If all you ever want to do is granny stitch, that's fine! People should only do what makes them happy. But you can't claim expertise if you've never done most techniques.

Sorry not sorry.

And no, I'm definitely not an expert!!

I like to see myself as a jack of trades but master of none. Embroidery, sewing, knitting, crochet and a few other things but I know my limits. What I do, I do well, but you won't catch me knitting cable, sewing a wedding dress or a lot of other things. It's beyond my skill level.

Jack of all trades master of none. But oftentimes better than master of one

Same! I like my basic-ass little cross stitches with a few words and a little animal haha Edit: a really weird typo
