What's a pet hate you have in regards to your hobby?

I've been knitting, spinning, weaving and doing pretty much everything there is to do in fibre arts seriously for over 20 years, but I started even earlier than that, for a while as a kid, then a teen, then in my 20s... Sewing and needlework is also in my blood as I come from five generations of needlewomen, three before me, and one taking after me. I learnt to use a Singer hadcrank sewing machine when I was about 7 or 8 and saved for my own reconditioned electric machine when I was 10! In autumn and winter, I only wear my own handknit socks. You won't believe (unless you're a fibrecrafter, of course) how many people have told me that I should set up an Etsy shop and sell them! And that's when I explain how much the yarn costs. That even the basic self-striping sock yarn, produced by big yarn companies like Opal or Regia, in 75/25 wool/nylon, that I use costs €9-10, plus shipping, because I live in rural Brittany and I don't have a local yarn store. But a lot of the socks that people admire aren't knit from basic self striping sock yarn. They're knit from yarns that are sold either by smaller yarn companies that make really interesting blends, like Mountain Colours Bearfoot (discontinued), which is a wool, mohair, and nylon blend - and it's also a handpainted yarn too! Or, they're knit from yarns which are standard blends, 75/25 wool nylon, merino/nylon, 100% merino, specific breeds like Blue Faced Leicester, Dorset and others, and that are hand-dyed or hand-painted (there's a technical difference in the dye application method!), by a small independent dyer who buys in the blank yarn bases. Sometimes, they may even commission those more specific bases from a small mill if they have developed a good working relationship with that mill. This can mean that indie sock yarn can cost anywhere from, what? €24-30 upwards? It's been several years since I bought some, to be honest, so I'm not up to date on today's going rates, as I've reached SABLE. It's hard for most knitters to evaluate how long it takes them to knit a sock as most of us use them as 'pick up and put down' portable projects, something that we can work on whenever we have a few spare minutes - especially plain socks without any patterning. But even a pair of plain, simple socks for an adult woman, wearing size 39-40 shoes, in standard sock weight yarn would probably take 25-30 hours, easily. If you tried to complete one sock per day, that would really take a toll on your hands, putting you at risk of RSI. Most people would baulk at paying the cost of the yarn. The minimum wage, before taxes, in France is €11.88 per hour. Multiplied by 25, that's €297, plus the cost of the yarn, €307. But there's nothing yet including for business overheads, which there will be, as a small business owner. Who will even pay that? Once you increase the size for a man's foot - I once knit a pair in 4*2 rib for my size 45 (definitely not knitworthy) ex-husband - the time required increases significantly, probably doubles. Same for stitch patterns, depending on the level of complexity, or interest. 2*2 rib is a mind numbing slog but some stitch patterns hit the sweet spot of having not too much complexity and just enough interest that they're not too much slower than a plain sock - the famous Monkey sock pattern would be my personal choice for this, and that's why I've knit several pairs from it! I also sometimes knit toys. I knit them from my own handspun yarn and I stuff them with washed sheep's fleece. As a result, they have a unique quality that means they're very different from those squeaky acrylic knitted toys found for sale at village fêtes in the 70s and 80s! It's has also been suggested that I sell them. But they are literally impossible to put a price on. I knit them with love, for my kids, mostly. Handspun yarn takes hours and hours of work to prepare the fibre, sometimes to dye it, and then spin it, ply it and wash it after it. Who would pay €100, €200 or more for a small stuffed toy? People here don't even understand the difference between wool and synthetic fibres, or handspun and machine spun, or why any of it matters.
