There are THOUSANDS of stitches in there... I don't know how I do it.

There are times when I crochet so fast that the yarn dragging over my finger (for proper tension) gives me friction burns, and my hook heats up as well from friction. I have a nasty red slash and plenty of scar tissue around the top of my left index finger. My wife doesn't want me to poke her with it, she says it's gnarly looking.

I'd like to get where I can make two hats a day. Although with summer coming, business will come to a grinding halt and I will be broke again.
