4000 hours

Happy Pi day! Happy Ides of March. Hey, it's the Pides of March! Happy Pides of March.

I'm buried in eyeballs, test knitting, sock class knitting, baby nursing, kid toting, mother-visiting-preparing so I can't post much. I've still got finished objects to share but for now I leave you with a bit of information and a question--

after some figuring, some estimating, and some math, I posit that I've put in a grand whopping 3,600 - 4,000 hours of spinning in my life. That's based on my minimum of spinning 4 hours/5 days a week for a bit better than 3.5 years with some time taken off for babies and some time added for weekend oh-my-gosh, i've gotta get these orders done rushes. Almost four thousand hours! That's over 166 full days of spinning, or 23 weeks non-stop treadling, or 6 months of never moving arse from chair! What about you? How many hours have you been spinning? Knitting? I couldn't even begin to calculate knitting time.

My husband says that it is all that I do! Knit, spin, crochet, dye, wash, sew, throw... My crafting list goes on and I have been doing it 4 hours a day since 2002.

The list goes on. Now if I could just make it less of a hobby and more of a profession.

Peace~
