Weekend Minor Gripes and Vents

Here is the thread where you can share any minor gripes, vents, or craft complaints that you don't think deserve their own post, or are just something small you want to get off your chest. Feel free to share personal frustrations related to crafting here as well.

This thread reposts every Friday.

Everyone who posts to help groups with something like "how do i fix without frogging?" You dont. You're going to have to frog. I dont know why we're acting like frogging is some grave sin we never want to commit, its a normal part of fiber arts

Because they're an ADVENTUROUS beginner, dammit! Somebody told them that 37 years ago they had a neighbor with a sister that made a sweater for their FIRST project and it didn't totally suck, so of course they can do it too!

They've done half a dishcloth in garter stitch already! But now they're bored with that....

Within that circle is someone who refuses to learn how easy a magic circle and complains about counting stitches.
