Very true. I bet 80% of my slings were made within a month or two of starting slinging.

Slings and slinging really interest me. I've made over 30 and I still think about how to improve this or that. I like paracord cords/leather pouches, braided slings with split pouches and seatbelt slings. Probably make about one a month on average. I try them out and make a few changes on the next one. Sometimes the change isn't even noticeable, but they get better. I may be obsessed. If you aren't careful, it might happen to you!

Like Rat Man I go through periods where I crank out a lot of slings. I always have a PJ and at least one seatbelt sling around that are my go to slings. Most of the slings that are in my posession now are slings that I have traded with other members for.

  I have just just finished my 9th in about a month, I do all things this way, I find something to learn, then go all out on it so that I get it learned really really well and I won't forget.  Then some time will pass and I will just go and make another one, but because I went crazy on it at first I remember exactly how to do it.
  I've made an apache leather pouch, a few braided split pouches (was the first design I practiced,) a woven solid pouch, a woven split pouch, a netted pouch, (all these of jute,) a cotton yarn woven split pouch (black and white,) and another jute one I just finished, not quite sure what to call it, it is woven solid partway on each end of the pouch and then a woven split in the middle.  I haven't made the bead for the release cord yet, so I haven't tried it out, I think I really like it.
  I really want to make a staff sling soon, but right now I am working on a roundbraided 8 strand woven split pouch.  All my others have just been 3 strand multiples.

I have made many slings, no idea how many, but well over 50 over a couple of years.  Some is given away and some is taken apart (and the least usefull is thrown away), but I got a nice self made collection of most of the different types of slings in existence .  
I am obsessed, but seem keep it under better control now  
Anyway, sling making is perfect for those interested in knotting and braiding, like me.  When I make a sling now, it slowly comes into existence and evolves until it is right inside my head before I make it.  With the odd exception, of course, sometimes they just suddenly spring into existence.

What hours do you work? 

I wish I had someone to give some away to, it's mostly littler kids who ask, but I'm a bit wary about giving them one without them asking their parents...
