more and more chain stitch

After our briefing for level 6 I have found that once again I am back to chain stitching and helping on little bits of of the other costumes. I have found im very useful at making rustic ties from garden string and making barnicals to a certain size needed. I have been informed that we have however reached our barnical limit again and not to carry on crocheting the barnicals into various shapes.

Thursday - Chain Stitch using 4mm Crochet Hook using Sirdir Country Style - colour Mustard (40% Nylon, 30% Wool, 30% Acrylic) I have made approximately 5 metres.

Friday - Chain Stitch using a 5mm crochet hook.  The Mustard Sirdir Country Style Wool contained 40% Nylon, 30% Wool and 30% Acrylic.  Approximately 5 metres of chain stitch were produced. 

This was nice wool to crochet with however due to the small hook it became very time consuming as the chain links are extremely small. However I believe 10 meters of stitch in two days is quite a good pace, though still not fast enough. I am going to have to either produce an extra few meters per day or switch to a larger hook to create a chunkier effect with the wool. If I continue at the rate I am going at, I will have enough chain stitched wool to make up the next beard.
