"I enjoy the crafts on the show enormously, too, when we have experts in showing how to make things. You watch them thinking you'll go home and do the things yourself, which is fun. Some I have done myself later on"
About this Quote
The phrasing does a lot of social work. “Experts” reassures you you’re in capable hands, but “which is fun” keeps the stakes deliberately low. Craft becomes play, not a referendum on competence. Then the line that matters most: “Some I have done myself later on.” It’s a modest flex disguised as a confession. She doesn’t claim mastery or transformation, just follow-through - enough to authenticate the fantasy without puncturing it. That “some” is strategic, too: it quietly grants permission for the viewer’s half-finished projects and aspirational Pinterest boards.
The context is the long British tradition of cozy, competency-adjacent TV: shows that soothe by making skill look accessible and domestic life feel orderly. Asher’s warmth isn’t accidental; it’s a cultural comfort mechanism. The subtext is, You can belong here. Not by being an expert, but by wanting to try.
