Slow and Steady

Several more rows have been added to the afghan I'm knitting. I timed myself doing a row. It took 11 minutes to finish one row. Now I know why something hand knitted is so expensive. It is time consuming. Time is valuable and people want to be paid for the time they put into making something. So, although the yarn wasn't that expensive, the afghan is very valuable because it took so much time to make. It is a labor of love. At the rate I'm going I can finish 5 rows each hour. I wish I had counted how many hours I've worked on the project. It would be interesting to know how many hours the finished project took.
