I can’t imagine how long it used to take to make everything by hand. I’ve crocheted a few blankets and things and it’s easy enough to do while watching TV, but it takes some serious hours.

It’s amazing that people used to do this regularly. Especially during WWII. That looks like a lot of work.

I bought the loom and then put it off for ages anticipating a big project, and then finished it up chatting while my kid picked up Legos.

OK, 2nd sock took 45 minutes. So a bit longer than it felt like, but an amount of time is easily spend scrolling/watching videos/etc.
