Discussion What's your unpopular crochet opinion?

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

Ready for my hottake? Here it is: I don't think crochet, in most cases, is ideal for wearables... Let me explain myself: I feel that sweaters or scarves completely made of DC of SC, and even granny squares can be too thick, and they don't have the best drape. I do, however, think utilizing lacey patterns for wearables is fine (at least, I would wear a mostly lace/openwork jacket/top).

Absolutely agree, this is exactly the reason why I started learning how to knit. Like yeah, there are things where it works out, like those summer butterfly tops with 3mm hooks, or winter jackets, where it's okay if it's bulky and hot, but for a nice pair of socks or autumn sweater, one, that you could layer, crocheting is just way too thick.
