 All too true. Sounds like you've found some people who actually value
hand done work.  Great!  Agree too that about the time spent crocheting, 
what else would you rather be doing? I've always got a few minutes here
and there to keep something going. Only problem with some of the
patterns is I have to memorize them to keep from digging out the pattern 
again and again.  I have a couple patterns that are real easy to
remember and turn out well, so I'll do them before I try a new one.
 I've got more projects lined up to do than I have time I think.
I've got to finish at least three before I start a new one though :)
