never done any of these crafts, because they simply have not a clue the amount of time involved.

They also do not understand how much the yarn might cost. I have a particular scarf I like to make with four skeins of Noro yarn, which runs about $15/skein. So that's sixty bucks right there, and then there's the many hours involved in the crocheting.

Which is exactly why most of us give away stuff.
