What techniques intimidate you?

Ok, lets talk about scary crafting techniques
I was for a very long time intimidated by knitting. I came into the crafting world as a complete ZERO. I learnt to crochet. Then attempted knitting after a couple of years and after an encouragement that if you can knit and purl you can make it
Then I saw brioche (namely, Stephen West) and it looked so very difficult and I just marveled at the makes and designs. I looked through a number of Stephens designs before I tried a simple one (a flat knit brioche hat - pattern available here). Then I tried one of his briogarters. And Im a goner :) I loooove brioche! I live how its magically turns the fabric into intricate maze.
Please share what scares you :) Im genuinely curious

Entrelac knitting. I love how it looks, but the tutorials I have found have made me put down my needles. One day I will give it another try, but that day is not today.

Just the size of a Heaven and Earth Design for cross stitch scares me. I started one once and only got two out of something like 60 pages of the graph pattern. I admire anyone who can knit. I have only done socks on a knitting loom. I tend to drop stitches if I dont have something to hold them for me.

Shuttle tatting.  Needle tatting you can frog and try again.  Shuttle is cut or trash.  Sniff.  Shuttle tatting gives those tight neat stitches, but not for a novice. Too intimidating.
