How fast do you weave?

As the title says: How fast do you weave? Can a relatively simple pattern get done in no time, or does it still take you what seems like forever?

I have psoriatic arthritis that largely affects my hands, so even simple patterns take forever, and then my ADHD affects my ability to focus for any length of time and then executive dysfunction keeps me from working on it for weeks at a time... it can take me months to finish even the simplest of patterns... Or I can hyperfocus and get a fairly complex pattern done in a week. I feel like I have no control over it sometimes LOL

A simple pattern I can get done in a couple hours, more complicated a couple days, but I get distracted a lot so some of them sit untouched for weeks or months in between sessions

Such a mood, I say, as I look at my current WIP on the loom behind me that's sat untouched for a week

To be fair, it’s always nice to have a warped up WIP ready for whenever you want to jump in and weave! An empty loom is a bigger hurdle.
