Project: Wicked that Rocks! (ravelry link)
Pattern: Wicked by Zephyr Style
Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Twisted colorway Thraven
purchased at Purlescence Yarns
Date Started: August 10, 2008
Date Finished: August 24, 2008
Modifications: Cast on the stitches for the second largest size, but the bust ended up being knit for the third largest size and then I did shaping for the body. For the pocket, I added two extra stitches on each end of the seed stitch just to make the pocket a smidge bigger (had read that some people wished the pocket was more in proportion for the bigger sizes). Love the pocket! Think it makes the sweater a bit more fun!
Overall, I love my second attempt at this sweater! It fits fabulously! A bit more on the fitted side but I'd prefer that to the frumpy too big of my other one. I'm pretty excited to have TWO sweaters that I love for fall!! And this one will be perfect to dress up or down for work too!! The yarn is scrumptious and the color is just perfect! And I probably needed a deadline of the Olympics to get this baby done! I'm still a newbie at this sweater knitting and not too confident, but its building! Thanks again for cheering me on!! And a big shout out to Sam, our team captain for Team Blue Moon!! She did a great job keeping us all motivated! Thanks Sam!
Happy Monday!!
