I weave, tat, net, knit, and make fingerloop braids. The only patience any of these things takes, for me, is a tiny bit at the beginning, when I first sit down to do them. I have maybe a minute or two where I think, "Well, this is a bit dull, but I'll just work on it for 5 minutes so I can say I did it." The next thing that usually happens is my son says he is hungry, I look at the clock, and I find to my amazement that 40 minutes or sometimes a couple of hours have passed! By that point I've stopped noticing time and am thinking "Just another row" or just another chain, and then I'll stop. Or maybe one *more* row. Or two. . .
