What I did was a bit
of an analysis to see what I could accomplish if I was able to craft
a minimum of 35 hours a week. I do love playing with
performing
analysis so of course I had to combine it with my crafting and
here is a little example of what I came up with.
I am very lucky because I am
able to
crochet at a pretty good speed so that means that when I have a little
bit of time to crochet I can get things done pretty quickly.
People have asked how long it takes me to make some of the
things
that I do so I decided to figure it out and show the results.
Baby hats:
Preemie hats
Newborn
Large baby hats
Per week
93
54
36
Per day
18.6
10.8
7.2
Per hour
2.66
1.5

If I was able to
crochet 35 hours a week I would be able to keep quite a few hospitals
supplied with baby hats but I don't have that much time to crochet.
Baby afghans
To complete one afghan
26 hours
This is making an
afghan approximately 32” x 42” in size and doing the v-stitch
pattern that I don't need a pattern for.
Cross-stitch
patterns
If I was able to
cross-stitch more than I currently do I would have had a minimum of
12 patterns designed, stitched and released this year instead of the
1 that I was able to release. It is difficult to find the time to do
all the stitching that I would like to do and I know that with all the
patterns that I currently have designed it may be a while before I get
all of them into the form of being released but at least I continue to
work on designing and stitching.
