    This delighted me, too, and set me wondering ‘What was she crocheting? It must have been a pattern that was familiar to her as I presume she was in the dark…How did she have enough yarn for 30 hours of crocheting? What will she now do with the crocheted object? It deserves to be in some crochet museum.
