If your sister knit a whole sweater in November, would you?
I guess the answer is "yes." Reading Erin's post about NaKniSweMo got me all inspired and stuff.
But what should I knit? Well, I purchased Jess a couple of months ago. And after seeing the brown sheep's version today, I decided that this would be a perfect November sweater. This pattern is like a Doris Day movie--full of personality, yet classic. I can't wait to go to my LYS this weekend and find some yarn.
The only thing is I am not sure that Jess has 50,000 stitches in it to knit (the ultimate goal of NaKniSweMo)...and I don't want to spend the brain power to figure it out. C'mon guys, math is hard. So I am just going on blind faith, and knitting it. I mean, isn't that what Doris Day would do?

I am doing the same knitalong! :) and it is going to be great! Glad you joined too. I don't think it has to really be 50,000 stitches... Shannon mentioned something about that earlier by saying "or thereabouts". I am sure the "I made a sweater in one month" counts for more!
Good luck!

I've been thinking about joining too, but just thinking about trying to figure out how many stitches are actually in the sweater I want to make. Ow. my head hurts!!

I say go for it! Who cares if it's 50,000 stitches. I just saw Brown Sheep's version too and it's such a classic sweater. I can't wait to see your work!

It's true. Doris Day wasn't too good at the ol' mathematics. She almost got swindled out of her entire fortune by her husband and their dishonest lawyer who misappropriated $22 million of her money. Let that be a lesson to us all. Math is necessary, except in the case of this sweater. Here it's just not fun. I can't wait to see the colors you pick out for the sweater.
