 Wife knitted me this sweater.

The sheer amount of hours it takes to make one of these forces me to understand just how much we take everything for granted.

This is the first garment I have that I will protect like no other just because of the labor it represents.

Money should be felt of the same way. https://image.nostr.build/8fb5e07a898c5bf8b5f83c0453784ded428ad1796a25bb7bf5a220ef08d29c95.jpg

 She must love you a great deal to make you one of these, there is a lot of love in this jersey 🔥 
 I feel about a well made pair of wool socks. 

The heel takes a lot of skill to do well, and requires three needles , sometimes four . 

Totally agree that people have lost respect for the effort that goes into things.  
 There are manually operated so called hand knitting machines for home use, that can speed the process up a lot. You can do one row in just seconds, but it may be less fun, because you're not as mobile. They are basically a flat row of hooks that hold the loops of a row of yarn for the thread to be knitted through. 
 Hard labor teaches lessons bruh..that beautifully crafted sweater is Proof of Work. 
 Thank you. She has been knitting for over 15 years. All those years are also inside this sweater.

Almost makes me weep thinking about what we’ve all lost.
