Dorothy Northcutt Gray - Fine Art

In the comments of my last post on the nalbinding hat, Kim asked me how long it took to make. It was hard to say for sure, because I worked on it off and on for period of around two weeks, and didn't pay too much attention to how long I spent on each session. So I guessed maybe eight hours total, certainly no more than ten?

I've started a new hat, and I can say with certainty how much time I've spent on the work I've done so far, because I did it all in the car coming back from North Carolina! The below work-in-progress measures eight and quarter inches in diameter, and I have spent just at three and a half hours doing it. I guess that I am maybe halfway through, so unless I run into unexpected difficulties, the finished project will take between seven and eight hours. So I suppose my first guess was pretty close to correct.
