How far would you get in 2 hrs.?
I started watching "Jaws" last night and decided i'd start this Turtlenecked scarf that's actually a 3 x 3 rib in the round using 4 total, size 7 DPN's.

(It's a turtleneck collar that's connected by shoulders and then has sleeves but if you dont want to wear the sleeves, you just wrap them around your neck as a scarf. From the book Scarf Style by Pam Allen.)

Anyhow, I casted on the 66 sts at opening credits on 3 DPN's and by the end of the movie I was barely an inch into the scarf ( The wrist part of one of the arms to be exact. )

Each arm's gonna be around 23 inches so x's that by 2 arms = 46 in. x's that by 2 hours per inch... = 92 uninterupted hours not including the turtle neck.

(No wonder I rarely finish what I start knitting.)


I'm really interested in how far you would get in that amount of time, no interuptions.


Now I just want an estimate I don't expect you to actually start this scarf. Just from your own experience how far do you think you'd get.


Modesty has no room here.


I won't laugh if your slower than me and I won't if your kick a$$ either.


Just looking for an honest answer.
Thanks!
