- Each flower weighs about 8 grams
- When all the flowers are completed, their combined weight will be 1920 grams
- In Imperial measurements, the flowers will weigh 4.3 pounds.
- That's a lot of flowers
- Each flower uses about 18 yards of yarn.
- Combined, the total yardage of the 240 flowers is 4,320 yards
- Or almost 2 1/2 miles of yarn
- That's a lot of yarn.
- Each flower takes 10 minutes to crochet
- That means it will take 2,400 minutes to complete the rug
- Or 40 hours
- Or 144,000 seconds.
- I prefer the sound of 144,000 seconds - it doesn't sound as long.
- That's a lot of time.
- A counter has been installed in the upper right corner of the blog so I can track my progess. Cool, huh?
- If I make 2 flowers on the way to work and 2 flowers on the way home, it will take 60 work days to finish crocheting the flowers, but
- If, in addition to number 14 above, I make 6 flowers while watching "The Young and the Restless", it will only only take 24 work days
- That's a lot of Y&R, but who can get too much Victor really? (He really is being Victor-like now, isn't he? And do you think Daniel will tell Phyllis Lucy is his baby? And what about that lawsuit? And where's Adam - maybe he and Skye are back together.)
Stay tuned for the next episode of the Young and the Rugless. Brought to you by the owners of Log Cabin Yarns - a great little yarn shop in the middle
of nowhere Northbrook. Come in and see us sometime. You'll be glad you did.
