Another Knitting Post

I finished the gold part of my pineapple. After seven repeats of the pattern, I think it's long enough; I don't want the leaves to be dwarfed by the fruit. My current plan is to knit two repeats with the green then start checking length after every half-repeat. I might not end up doing all four repeats of it.

My stockings are coming along nicely. I just hit the 1/5 mark for the first stocking, which is at 132 rows. Someone asked me yesterday how many square centimeters I do per hour. Things you just don't think about...so I worked it out. It's kind of surprising to think that I do about 20 min./sq. in. (3 sq. in./hr) or 3 min./sq. cm (20 sq cm/hr). That makes it sound like I go so much faster than it feels like I do, but maybe that's because I work on it in bits and pieces.
