Today I started The Busfare Knits

Since my work contract terminated, and I became seriously under-employed, I have been working harder than ever. I realized that I simply could not afford the way too expensive public transportation, but that it is hard to find work if you don't go look for it.

Also, now I have all this time in my hands to explore the BEAUTIFUL SF Bay, and I figured I should try to really see as much as possible.

Here is my attempt at solving the problem. I knit all the time that I spend in the bus/BART, and log how many trips it takes for me to finish my knitting. This then becomes the cost of the final product.

So the arm warmers you see above, for example, are priced as follows

date.....busline(s)..fare
2/11/10....NL...........$4
2/11/10....11............$2
2/12/10...62/1.....$2.25
2/12/10...1/62.....$2.25
2/14/10....57...........$2
2/18/10....57...........$2
2/18/10....NL..........$4
material cost..........$4

Arm warmers (M/L)
$ 22.50

I hope this will work out to pay for itself...
