There was a lot of talk on knitting Mastodon last week about how long it takes to knit a jumper. And I just happened to have this amazing green super chunky yarn lying around from a previously failed wedding project.
So naturally I took to Ravelry in the hopes of finding something that could be made quickly, but also look halfway decent and not weirdly bulky at all.
Enter, the Tea Rose Slip On by Retro Claude.
Cast on last…Thursday, I think? Spent maybe about 8 hours on it so far. The front and back are completely done and now it’s time for the sleeves already!
What’s everyone else been working on this week? If it’s a fingering-weight jumper project, you have my genuine sympathy 😂
@thegiddystitcher Super chunky definitely makes a sweater super fast! My question will be how you like the fit and look once it’s completed …
Oh look at you getting all Fediverse-fancy and joining the Lemmy version 😉
I’ve done the half-hearted “put your head through the neck hole and see” try-on method and it’s hard to tell before the sides are seamed but I was surprisingly pleased with it at that stage!
@thegiddystitcher Didn’t join the lemmy version (yet), just responded to the post appearing over here!
You’re literally commenting on Lemmy right now! I just thought you were doing it on purpose 😂
