And never, ever, challenge a crochet artist, either. The hooks can put things together in an amazingly short period of time. A great aunt offered to crochet some small animals for my daughters one year. I said I was leaving that day but would buy from her any of them she made. She made six, roughly 2 feet tall/long (depending on the animal), in an afternoon and I had to cough up serious cash to keep my word. My girls still have them, too, almost 30 years later, so they have held up well and were quality made. Been washed I’d hate to think how many times.
