The 6-hr sweater

Ok, if they say so...... yes, I could do this in 6-hrs. If I sat down and did nothing else, except maybe change the TV channel. I am knitting this pattern. I am using Caron Simply Soft Shawdows yarn in the colorway of Fuschia Flare, which stripes, holding 2 yarns together. The ribbing at top and bottom is on size 13 needles and the main body is on size 17 needles. It is knitting up fast. I like the fact that it is sleeveless, so I should be able to wear it this summer inside A/C'd offices. I am knitting the "large" size. I've lost over 30 lbs, but the boobs are still there, so I have to compensate for "that" size. I overbought on the yarn, so I might be able to make another one. Maybe for Koni........
