In hibernation
I spent two and a half weeks making one and a half sweaters.
Very cozy. The big one - for me - is only 100 stitches around. Scary, I know, but very satisfying for a time-strapped knitter. I've even worn it twice. The small one is for the small one - it's the "Funky Five Hour Baby Sweater". Seventy-six stitches around, but a lot fewer rows.
I feel like knitting with big chunky yarn is cheating, but the quick fix can't be beat at times.
