I saw some posts on Slatt's knot last month. Because of the way the knots are laid out, it looks a bit more labor intensive than what I do. The crochet is pretty easy once the basic moves are learned. I can do 100 feet while watching a single DVD movie and it doesn't take much concious thought. Actually it's kind of soothing mechanical action. I can see why a lot of people knit or crochet.
