🧶 Crochet Controversy: AITA for Crafting Instead of Supporting Small Biz? 🤔

Our crafty hero 🧶 thought he was doing his sister a solid by crocheting her dream plushie. 🧸 But when sis posted pics on the 'gram 📸, the original seller slid into their DMs with some serious shade. 😡 Apparently, our protagonist's handiwork was seen as a major sales stealer. 💸 Now, he's questioning if his kind gesture was actually an a-hole move. 🤔 Family's got his back 👨‍👩‍👧, but the internet's divided. 🌐 So, what do you think? Did this crochet conundrum make him the villain, or is the seller being a total yarn-hole? 🧶 Let's see what the internet has to say about this tangled tale! 👀

Heartwarming gesture sparks unnecessary backlash against thoughtful boy. 🧸
