It’s amazing that people used to do this regularly. Especially during WWII. That looks like a lot of work.
I can’t imagine how long it used to take to make everything by hand. I’ve crocheted a few blankets and things and it’s easy enough to do while watching TV, but it takes some serious hours.
I bought the loom and then put it off for ages anticipating a big project, and then finished it up chatting while my kid picked up Legos.
