And if you get one in ten really doing a craft, that's a very good
average. From what I hear, one in six*** is a more common success
rate.
I do find it funny that people think weaving is too tedious, when
weaving is one of the fastest ways to product a fabric. Compared
to knitting a tight fabric with the same gauge thread, weaving
goes like lightning.
