timed knitting

I've finished the front, bottom, back of the tote (all one piece), put the stitches on a piece of waste yarn, and cast onto a side of the bottom for the sides. Have worked up several inches double-knit, for the first side & pocket.

Now I'm bored with it and have cast on a pair of socks in Wool-Ease cranberry. They're going fast, maybe my startitis will turn to finishitis this time???

Just for fun I've timed myself. In garter stitch, on the tote, with 80-stitch rows I'm knitting 2000 stitches per hour. On these socks, in two-by-two ribbing on dpns, 48-stitch rounds I knit 1440 stitches per hour.

I had to order more yarn for the tote. I'm hoping it gets here today, as I desperately want to have it finished, washed & everything, by next Monday when we take a short trip to visit my folks.
