It's total personality incompatibility, to be honest. I think she's incredibly smug. It's nothing against her *design ability or her knitting, just lots of little things that rankle. Like the daily pictures of her cat which lead to her releasing a calendar of her cat, and people buying it (wtf, why would I want a calendar of someone else's pet). Or the way that her patterns seemed to immediately sell out at Loopy Ewe - she knows they're going to, she knows she's a popular designer, why limit the supply of a .pdf pattern? But there was a period where it was "pattern released on Monday!" "Oh my, it's tuesday and my pattern is already sold out. how humbling." mm-hm. (This isn't a personal gripe, in that I didn't get a pattern - I don't knit toe-up socks, so I'm not in her customer base.)
Personality conflict, pure and simple. I just don't like her, and things that would be charming in someone I do like are irritating when she does them. ::hands::
* although the mitred square sweater she knit from sock yarn is about the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
