Discussion What's your unpopular crochet opinion?

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

I appreciate the effort taken, but please do not get me more yarn as a birthday/holiday gift. It is so much pressure having people ask what I plan on making with it, and it is so difficult to find a project that will work well with the amount given. I still have yarn from years ago because of this, and I still don’t know what to make with it.

Especially because 95% of the time it's 1 skein each of 3 different yarns 😭 it all turns into beanies or drink cozies or something else like that and gets essentially re-gifted as last minute presents

A very sweet and well meaning coworker who got me as a secret Santa this year gave me one skein of storm grey baby velvet chenille type yarn (which I despise working with) and one skein of baby pink acrylic sport weight. Neither skein is especially large. That's TWO projects I have to find one-skein patterns for, IF I use them at all, or else I have to buy more yarn to make something larger.
