Hee! Thanks. It took somewhere in the neighbourhood of 8-12 hours, I think. (I don't keep track, though I suppose I should, because people ask...) Each bobble-row (there are four) took about an hour, the k1 p1 ribbing on the shoulder-bits took a while because the all the k's were one colour and all the p's were another colour, and the base is bigger than it looks.

I did most of the knitting while watching TV or on the TTC so it doesn't feel like I spent much time. A few weeks of picking it up when I had the chance, that kind of thing.

Um.

Short answer: 8-12 hours, I think.
