Short cuts make long delays.
— J. R. R. Tolkien
I have lost count of the number of hours I have spent devising ways to get crochet tasks done more quickly. But whether I am trying to avoid whip stitching a seam, weaving in an end, or making a gauge swatch, ultimately, I have lost more time to hurriedness and shortcuts than I ever did to doing it right in the first place.
