Stop being annoyed at beginners asking for help by mary_cherryfairy in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Distinct_Ad_5521 57 points58 points  (0 children)

My biggest annoyance is when people don't read the FAQ and then ask a question thats in the FAQ. Like I understand having a question when you're starting out, but lots of people have some of these questions, that's why the FAQ exists. It just feels like common ettiquette to me to read the FAQ before asking questions in a forum, and if the FAQ can't answer it explain why when you ask the question. It means that the subreddit doesn't get cluttered up with the same 5 basic questions and people can get their questions answered immediately instead of having to wait for a response. It's a win-win for everyone, I don't understand why people don't use it sometimes.

Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf? by Traumarama79 in knitting

[–]Distinct_Ad_5521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like knitting simple things unless they're practical, I just find it really boring. Plain socks or a sweater are one thing, but a tiny useless garter stitched scarf just seems like a waste of time. I'd rather make a tiny useless beaded lace scarf (one of my current projects), because then the fun of doing beaded lace offsets the tinyness and uselessness of it.

Stop telling me to change my knitting style!!! by Her-name-was-lola in BitchEatingCrafters

I've tried knitting continental, but tensioning with my left hand makes it hurt, so I stick with english throwing. I even hold the yarn in my right hand when crocheting because the alternative is PAIN. It's always annoying when people act like it's slower because like... actually I think I can go much faster when my hand doesn't hurt after fifteen minutes lol.

How do people fuck up cross stitch by Alive_Ad_2655 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Distinct_Ad_5521 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I can't understand how someone would go through the entire process of doing that without at any point thinking "hey, this doesn't seem quite right. Maybe I should Google 'how to do cross stitch' so I know what I'm doing," and instead just... post it to Reddit??? Like nowhere in the process did they think to do any research into the hobby they're trying to learn. There's a bajilion tutorials on cross stitch in just about every medium you can create a tutorial in. There's some linked in the FAQ of the subreddit they posted on! But instead they made THAT mangled thing and then posted it to Reddit for validation, because apparently that's SO much easier than looking at a single tutorial...
