Knowing My Limitations

 I think I have finally figured out how much time I can currently knit in a single day.  The answer is 2 hours.  At knit group today I spent 2 hours doing a left handed charity scarf in the round.  My reasoning was if I knit for a couple of hours left handed I could then spend a couple of hours right handed knitting tonight. My hypothesis was absolutely 100% wrong.  

Apparently it does not matter if I knit right or left handed, I have a finite number of hours to knit in a single day without destroying my hands.

No, I did not think about drop spinning or Tunisian Crochet either.  Even though they use different muscles groups, in different configurations for my hands. I was not willing to give up the possibility of no fiber arts for a week or more. Also I have not warped a loom in months.  I am not sure that I have the spoons to do a direct warp right now.  I would love someone to do the walking back and forth.  Anyone who has been around me during enforced no knitting or spinning time can tell you that I am not fit to be around. I am just that cranky and more.  

Just as a footnote, I am now much faster knitting left handed then when I taught myself 18 months ago.  Almost as fast as right handed knitting.
