Substitute "blocking" for "Christmas" in this song, and my issue is perfectly stated. This very moment, I have 3 scarves and 2 sweaters that are all finished except for being blocked. Not that the weather necessitates finishing them quickly, but still. . . I'm sure there's one part of the whole knitting process that everyone dislikes. My mother hated putting things together. My albatross is blocking.
What's yours?

I hate sewing things together. Because of this I will never EVER make amurigami or whatever those putzy things are called. Learning how to knit top-down set-in sleeves opened up new horizons for me (although I have yet to make a second sweater using the technique).
Blocking. I have a pile of things that need to be blocked. The woman who used to contract with the LYS used to do it at a very, very reasonable cost; she stopped doing it at all last year. Thus, the pile.
I hate the sewing things together. I'm OK with blocking but I"m just not good at it.
ps. count me in for the scarf.
Picking up dropped garter stitches. I just don't get it.....
