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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah my one time using no-nylon yarn fared equally badly (despite the dyer's insistence it would be togh enough to work, grr). Please do report back in with your scientific findings. Looks like they'll be very snuggly, anyway!
