Several months ago, I timed various ways of making yarn. This way, if asked how many hours a project took, I could calculate the answer.
The blanket begun last winter has grown to four square feet. While knitting sashing to extend it, I recorded the minutes-per-inch. One three-inch square took 10 minutes. (To be thorough, one would have to do separate timings to correspond with stitches and rows per inch.)
For this particular project, a rough figure would be: one square inch = one minute.

| Sashing for edges of the blanket, width will be about three inches once the piece is blocked |
