This is the second entry for NaKniSweMo. I've been knitting my head off, since the last sweater I knit took me two months. It turns out that a sweater for me (smaller than the last one), in one color and simply knit in stockinette, goes by much faster. So far, I have knit about 15 inches and am on my third ball of yarn!

For my friends who do not knit, this sweater is knit from the bottom up. The cuff is slightly wider to accomodate hips, then it is decreased for the waist. By tomorrow, I should be up to the arm pits if I have enough time to knit 3 inches, which really only takes an hour or so. It's knit in a cotton/nylon blend, so it's a bit more stretchy than 100% cotton. Another interesting fact about the yarn is that it is made from Pima Cotton--from Pima County! It was my favorite cotton before I knew it was from Arizona. It's extremely soft and, being cotton, won't make me sweat in the winter here in AZ. Of course, my winter is the world's fall...if that.

 If I finish this early, which is likely based on my current rate of knitting, my mom has already told me that I have other knitting assignments. Here's to working hard!

Happy knitting!
