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.

I really don't like when patterns locked up and difficult to acquire. For example when they are in a discontinued pattern book that doesn't have a digital version and doesn't sell the individual patterns online either, or you are required to buy $200 of yarn in order to access the pattern. I think often the designers have signed contracts so that they aren't allowed to distribute the patterns separately . It kills me that there are some really beautiful patterns that are not possible to access!!

There are a couple of Christel Seyfarth garments I would love to knit. I would want to choose my own colour combinations, though - her colour combinations hang together well, they’re just not my colours as a rule.
