This discussion reminds me of some conversations I used to read on RCTN
about a few who timed their counted cross stitching or who worked out how
many stitches they could get out of a certain length of thread. To each his
own! For me much of life is an "estimate" and I am happy with that. I can
approximate how long a project will take me to do so that I can get gifts
done and still enjoy the work.

Had a speed trial this morning.

With circular needles, I knit ~ 100 stitches per minute.
With DPN and sheath, I knit ~ 160 stitches per minute. I'm sure some of
you
can do better than that with circulars, but it is better than the 20 spm
that I was doing 4 years ago when I asked the group for help and they
converted me from American style to Continental style. I am happy with my
progress. : ) It lets me actually FO!

Is it only nerds that watch the clock when they knit? ( I only do that a
couple of times per year.)
