- Hooks that are so small that the yarn slips off.
- Hooks that are so big that they don't have thumb indents and I have to just wrap my hand around them like a claw.
- Too much slip stitch. The amigurumi in Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker are all slip stitch in the round. Just, no.
- When my squares come out looking more like 4 pointed stars.
- Yarns whose textures make it difficult to see my stitches. (Homespun I am looking at you.)
- Assembling amigurumi. Because I dislike:
- Stitching invisible seams (or any seams at all).
- Weaving in ends (and now you know why I don't like stripes! So many color changes.)
- Surface embroidery (with a special place in hell for french knots).
- Intarsia. Can't do it. At all.
- Stitching into a foundation chain. Haaaaate. At least I usually only have to do it once per project, if I'm following my anti-seam rule.
