Depends if my kids are up or sleeping, if they are up I am lucky to get past 10 minutes without them needing something, but if they are sleeping I can knit for at least an hour then I have to break and walk around!
Hours but I am slow.
Two movies and evening new so 5 hours with bathroom breaks
I usually knit while doing other things like long car trips, movies or phone calls. I can get a lot done in a couple of hours but it seems like no time at all.
