How fast do you crochet?

[TheChaoticCrafter]

It depends on what i am working on and how distracted i am. A pair of booties can either take me 15 mins or 3 hours...just depends on what else i am trying to multitask.

How fast do I crochet? As fast as I do everything: sloooooooooowwwwwwwwwllllllllyyyyyyy..................

[Alegna]

It depends what I'm working on and how complicated the pattern is. I am a fairly slow crocheter though, but I'm pretty knew to this so I don't know if I'll pick up speed or not. I guess we'll see!

 

Plus I only typically get to crochet after my son's bedtime because he loves to tangle himself in my yarn. Haha

[jessicali]

I can do small things fairly quickly, others it takes me a bit.

I'm still fairly new to crocheting. I've been doing it for about a year and a half now.

 

I happen to have a bad habit of procrastination, also. ha

[MalisaMeesa]

I think Im pretty fast, but mostly thats just the small size of my projects I've been working on an ear flap hat for about four or five days now.

[jessicali]

I am DEFINATELY not the fastest crocheter out there. I often get distracted by my kids or animals here on the farm.

[CraftyZone]

It depends sometimes with a project I am working on I crochet pretty fast I fined that when I work with many colors I find I work faster and don't seem to get bored with my crocheting I crochet watching or listening to TV and Doctors offices waiting for my dad I even take it with me when I visit. I fined it really relaxing when I crochet.

I crochet pretty fast. My mother goes on about it any time she sees me do it. I find the repetitious movement sort of hypnotizing and relaxing. lol Then again, I feel the same way about watching tropical fish in an aquarium.... Gotta love that ADD brain.

Pretty slow...I like to take my time doing stuff if no one is waiting for a project to be done

[Dalimonster]

I can crochet pretty fast, but I don't know how to measure it. Since I only crochet in the evenings, when I have the time, and in the weekends, I can't really measure my speed very well.

[spiritwalker]

I can make an afghan in two days. If I am working on a project such as a

sweater it could be a couple of weeks depending on the pattern. I can

make slippers,hats and scarves in a couple of hours each.

Everyone tells me I crochet fast, but to me ... I just crochet "normal".

[annmcc1976]

im pretty quick. dpending on project of course.. i did make 4 Daisy square afghans in 2 weeks.. dose that say how fast I go ????

[Real Deal]

I crochet somewhere between slow and moderate most of the time, but realistically I'm not pushing myself to be fast. Most of my work is in sc and I change colors a lot. Also I work with double strands a lot. I like to enjoy my work rather than rush.

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive, prettier than a million prom dresses, faster than a speeding bullet, oh wait, I said that! dang.....Ok, I dunno, said to be fast, when I teach i have to slow sooooo down, but not fast on purpose to make it like work, just nimble fingers keeping busy!

[craftylady1956]

I crochet very fast--When teaching I have to really slow it down. I work 2 jobs and crochet whenever I'm not working. Depending o the project--I can complete small items in a few hours or a few days.....

[Kriekie]

I crochet very fast. I agree with the others about the pattern, mood, color changes etc.

[eurolyons]

Fast enough to earn me 2nd place at the state fair last year for Fastest Fingers contest for Crochet...

[Heather87]

I plan on finishing a large afghan within 3 weeks, but it's my first project. I start off really slow and then it slowly gets faster the longer I crochet for the day.

Chains are fast, SC are fast, but I feel like DCs take double as long

[CrochetFarAway]

I haven't payed attention to how fast i crochet in a while, last time i noticed was about a year ago and i would finish an afghan in 2 days. several hours, yes, but it took me about two days. Things like baby clothes can take me less than a day.

[mandymae]

You've all helped me more than you can imagine. I'm finding that trying to crochet too fast does make it more like work. Our bodies also betray us. I identify with the rotator cuff problem. Crocheting undoubtedly gets mine to hurting so bad that I just have to plain stop crocheting and knitting for a day or too.

 

I prefer to crochet at my own leisure. I usually try to work on something a little each day, but I don't beat myself up if I skip a few days! Rushing to get a project done is just stressful, and i find myself making mistakes then.

[Gingerbread Girl]

It really depends on what I am making, how complex the pattern is, and how close I am to finishing! Sometimes I move a lot slower but other times I can whip up a project in an afternoon. I do have to take frequent breaks though because I have tendinitis in my wrists. There are even times when I need to take a break from crocheting completely for a week or more if I have been doing a lot of it and my wrists start acting up. 

[koepr5333]

I have been told I crochet really fast, I just recently crocheted a doily that is 20 rounds and about 13 1/2 inches in about 4 hours.

[crochetlady2012]

I seem to crochet at a moderate speed. I just finished an afghan that took me 4 months to finish. It was all SC & after the 1st 100 rows it was really starting to get annoying for me to work on. Now I am making something for our 4 yr old. We will see how long his blanket will take me to make.

[AsheSkyler]

Finger speed or project speed? With finger speed,I also feel moderate, but I honestly have no idea how fast I am. If it's a straight set of stitches, I feel fast, but when I'm having to do something intricate I feel slow.

But project speed, I am slow. Took me a year to make a small blanket for my son. Dolls and bags could take less than a day, could take a couple of days depending on how much other things I have to do. Baby blankets often take 2-3 days.
