Unpopular Crafting Opinions!

AntipodeanOpal

Let's share our unpopular or even controversial crafting opinions! I love these kinds of videos and I always love hearing people share their opinions even if I don't agree with them.
All crafts welcome, let's be respectful of eachother's opinions and allow room for differences, this is just for a bit of fun.

Mine first:
1. I don't get the purling hate, it's not that bad!
2. The ranunculus sweater, to me it doesn't look pretty actually, it can even look ill fitting, I am surprised so many people have made it!

What are yours?

I don't get all additional vanity decor in embroidery/cross stitch: fancy scissors with feathers or who-knows-what attached, or bulky in-theme-with-a-WIP magnets, etc.
I also do not like protective fabric cases around the hoops, they look funny to me:)

A lot of crochet wearables are just so ugly!

Fiber crafts should be accessible to everyone and, thus, some need to use less expensive fibers, etc. The resulting spectrum shouldn’t be stigmatized but instead celebrated.

can't stand all this chenille-yarn stuff. It looks so shapeless, plastic-like & all the same.

Even if I love a nice crochet garment, I second @bugcanyon222 , a lot of it looks ugly & ill-fitting.

I think some yarns are too expensive for what they are! They are expensive because of the hype, not the quality.

I ditto that some crochet wearables are... not exactly pretty. But I also think that it depends on the body and the style. Not everything is gonna look good on everyone, and that's ok!

German Short rows are easy to do. I made them for a pair of socks as a beginner, and they were not hard to do at all. Designing them in a pattern, *that* I think must be hard!
