Almost three feet a day.

After finishing the scarf I took with me on the trip last week, I pulled out a skein from a stash I have there (purchases when the local Joann stores closed) and started a scarf.  This is what I knit in about a day - it's slightly past because I continued on Monday before I left, but I marked where I stopped on Sunday night and this is what I knit in a day:

   

Of course, I was doing a lot of sitting and knitting as we went to a play and then out to supper, and I wasn't driving, plus it is the very basic garter stitch on only 24 stitches on US#8 needles.

After returning home I finished the hat I'd left behind, which is the 100th hat for the community center afterschool collection.

Hat #100 is on the right; on the left is the next hat, which
starts the collection for next year.  There is a lot of the
colourway of Hat 100, apparently they are show leftovers.

I'll get them washed and tagged and ship the box right after Christmas, because there is no reason for them to go into the holiday craziness.
