Having been told not to sit for any length of time on an upright chair for the first six weeks after me knee op to cut down on the risk of DVT, I haven't been doing any lacemaking - it's not very easy in a recliner chair. So I've been reading (6 books in 6 weeks). I finally got around to the Monica Ferris books, and I'm currently half way through book 3, "A Stitch in Time". I think I've asked this question before, but I can't remember the answer - how far is a block? When you're used to distances in yards, fractions of miles and miles, '3 blocks' gives no impression of how far someone has walked or driven. The distance covered when "Taking the dog for a walk round the block" (an area of ground covered with buildings that has a road or path running around it) could vary from say 100 yards to a mile or more depending on how big the 'block' of buildings is.
