It wasn't slow to knit - I think I started on 14th July and finished on the 30th and the crochet vest below was made in this time too. But there was a long car journey - perfect for lots of stocking stitch.
It has already proved a very useful wardrobe addition and I'm planningto make another with long sleeves when I can get my hands on the right wool - I want a deepish sort of green I think....or red...or black....
This one was not so easy. The hemp was hard on my hands and I struggled a bit understanding the pattern - my fault not the pattern's.
4SVest from Doris Chan's Everyday Crochet. 5mm hook, House of Hemp 2ply hemp. Edging HoH dk. Got off to a bad start on 12th July, frogged and restarted 18th July and finished 23 July. Mine is a fair bit longer than the pattern.
