First Week Progress on Mudblood Cardigan

It has been a week since starting this sweater with my knitting buddy and here is the progress that I have made.  I have finished the decreasing to the waist and will now start the increasing for the bust.

I am on my second skein of yarn so it is going pretty well.  I have been knitting about an hour a day as I need to give my hands a rest.

I have been also looking at a more ergonomic way of knitting and found something called Portuguese knitting.  Here is a video demonstration of this style.

I may try this style out on a new project because my gauge would be significantly different.  I will need to look for a knitting pin as I know I would not like to have the yarn going around my neck.
