"How Do You Have The Patience?"

I don't

I get asked this relatively frequently by people looking at my knitting. If it took patience, I probably would be doing something else. I like to do this; your mileage may vary.

Speaking of mileage, my friend Dave ran his first 50k race (about 31 miles) yesterday. He was running for just under 5 hours. Some people took over 8 hours to do the distance! Can you imagine? Just running: no music, a little conversation maybe, nothing to keep their hands busy.

How do they have the patience?

Here is how the current piece is going. I'm not sure how successful it will be in the end, but I'm on this journey, so I'll see how it ends.
