IntSweMoDo 2010: Sweater One

In addition to my 1,000,000 stitches goal, I have a 12 sweaters this year goal....  My goals all work together, which is fantastic.  I am excited to challenge myself and see what happens.

I have officially finished my first sweater for IntSweMoDo 2010!   It is the February Lady Sweater by Pamela Wynn.

I knit the sweater out of 100% corn fiber called aMAIZing from Southwest Trading Company.  The fabric made is nice and squishy and is somewhat hydrophobic.....  The water just beaded off until I started working it in.  Maybe that makes this sweater stain resistant!  I'm not sure I want to test that theory though. 

The sweater is unblocked in this picture.  I am excited to wear the sweater when it is dry (drying now), but I have to remember that I can't wear it to work if I want it to stay nice.  I tend to go home dirty....


My next sweater to work on is the one for my sister, Mary.  It is Natalia by Stefanie Japel.  I have half of one sleeve to knit, the cuffs and the neckline.  I hope it will be a quick knit.....
