When I succumbed to this lovely yarn a few weeks back, I optimistically named my project Quick Knit on Ravelry. Sure enough, once I’d got used to such thick needles again (9 mm), I had the back and the front knitted up in a couple of days. Admittedly, it was plain stocking stitch with no shaping – just some points of interest at the beginning, middle and end in garter stitch using 2 strands held together. The sleeves were fast too, but then trouble struck. I had to sew the shoulder seams to determine whether the sleeve length was correct… So my quick knit lay around in pieces waiting to be finished off while I returned to another of my WIPs. It’s now finally assembled and I’ve worn it loads already. I wish I’d done it sooner – this could so easily have been started, knitted and made up in a week to ten days!
Quick Knit, Slow Sew

What a great colour!
I love knitting sweaters but hate putting them together, so you have my sympathy. I have at least two (at last count) sweaters that are completed and are just waiting for me to put them together. Thanks for the read!
I’m knitting a sweater in the round for the specific reason that I don’t want to have to put it together. But it looks great! L
