How fast do you crochet?

[fayn]

Medium slow, I've had tendonitis in both wrists so I am mindful of how fast and for how long I crochet to prevent flareups.  Also, some stitches make the back of my hands hurt and working into the chain tends to make my left thumb very unhappy  Thumb/arm/wrist pain is a big part of why I never got into knitting.  There is a very good reason I love working hats top down!

 

A basic hat will take me 8 hours or so in fingering weight yarn, an afghan square in worsted takes me over an hour.  I've never had the attention span to finish an afghan, though ;D

 

Even at my fast snail's pace, my knitting roommate is a tad jealous of how quickly I get things done (and I'm a tad jealous at her ability to *complete* all the projects she starts! course she only has one project on the needles at a time and I'm ADD girl with *mumblety* projects going at once).
