Hey guys - thanks for the comments regarding my first post. I LOVE that I got such a nasty comment - go check it out - it is pretty darn funny. I just want to say - it fits well, EXCEPT for two things - the neck band is too large which you can't really see in the picture. I wore it out for a test drive and I was constantly fiddling with the neck line to have it sit further down on my shoulders. I do not have a wide shoulder width which is why this sweater doesn't fit me well. I can wear a child's size 10/12 tee-shirt because of how small my should width is and I am not a small woman by any means!

It would look much better on someone with broader shoulders - google finished Wickeds and compare those with wide and not so wide shoulders and judge which one looks better.

Second issue with this sweater is I made TOO many increases for the sleeves and the sleeves puff out where they meet the bust line. Not too flattering, that is for sure.

Oh yeah - the alpaca I used was very cheap, ur, inexpensive, so maybe that is why it is itchier that other alpaca yarns. Who knows. It just turned out to be a very sucky sweater and who cares, I enjoy the process of knitting. Also, I now know what doesn't look good on me, and I know how many stitches to increase to with top downers, so at the end of the day, I came out a winner even if the sweater didn't.

Have a good one.
