Cast On

Why does it take so long to cast on? It took an afternoon to cast on for my cardigan body. sheesh. I just want to knit.

Yarn: Rowan felted tweed
Gauge: 6st. per inch, 7.5 rows per inch on size 2 needles

I've finished both sleeves (well mostly, I’ll adjust the length later). Now I’m casting on for the body. I think I’ll work it back and forth with an edge stitch, like the mr. greenjeans cardigan.
