if you use a larger needle size and thick yarn it goes pretty fast. i can make a baby blanket in a week and a scarf in a few days.
hmmm, maybe i'll try that, but i think being "patient" is the key here. :P
im not patient at all. i made myself a sleeveless turtleneck sweater in a large cotton yarn. that took a month. then i decided to make the same sweater in a finer yarn and that was two years ago. its still half-done.
