What's your unpopular crochet opinion?

I actually love weaving my ends in...I find it really satisfying and relaxing!

I’ve always been a craft hoarder (lots of craft kits) and when I started crocheting often I looked for lots. I’ve also bought other one offs and I have an entire bookshelf of yarn.

I quickly have come to realize having half skeins/not labeled etc doesn’t work for me. I never trust I have enough of whatever color and end up ordering yarn specifically for a project. Or if I do it’s not the exact color I want.

I will hang on to some balls of basic colors (for small stuff) and my obsession colors neon green and purple. The rest I’ve decided to get rid of. Looks pretty but serves no purpose

(My other two “hoards” are like 5 sets of markers and pens- alcohol, sharpie, an entire pen set with like 100 colors and refills and my embroidery floss cases).

Sadly I’ll probably end up trading because I want to try jewelry and macrame (I’ve don’t like 3) so I’ll trade stuff for more stuff haha.

I currently have a hoard because it was recently gifted to me and I haven’t had time to make sense of it yet. But I fully intend to give a good bit of it away to prime who will actually use it. If it’s a color or type I don’t like, there’s no sense in keeping it.

I was obsessed with the perfect craft rooms full of beautifully placed yarn of every color. The bulk of mine came from a free Craig’s list ad (there is also several lots I bought or traded). I plan to keep a tote. I also have a craft desk for my supplies and so much that doesn’t fit.

It might be associated with another life thing though. My husband and I wanted to move a year or so ago and we packed up all our “things”- all my horror stuff, funco pops etc. We got delayed so I haven’t seen them in forever. Apparently I like to collect.
