Wicked Question

OK so I"m knitting the long sleeved version of wicked, I odn't know why now I will be on sleeve island for forever....but anyway, are any of you that are making long sleeved adding in decreases along the way? It seems to me that the sleeve would be way to wide for me if I don't put in some decreases.
Thanks!

A late start

I got a late start on my Wicked but it is knitting up quickly. I almost gave up on it on the first row. It was such a tight knit but am glad I stuck with it. I am using Addi needles and Knit picks Andean silk yarn in Cinnamon. I am loving both of these!

Not KOL - But Done

I know this is not the knit along ... but I just finished it. It is the cover from Fall's Interweave - Yoke Sweater. This is the first yoke fair isle sweater I've done. I did it in Misti Baby Alpaca.

Update: This was done from the bottom up. The front, then the back and then the sleeves. All the stitches are held and then you pick them up with circular needles and knit the rest of it.

If I had it to do over I would. 1) go up a needle size 2) do the front and back longer 3) make the sleeve a bit longer too.

Finally Casted On Wicked

After seeing some great looking SKC Wickeds and wrapping up some gift knitting, I finally got the inspiration to cast on for my Wicked. I'm using Colorado Yarns' Durango and am really enjoying my first tweedy sweater project. Check out more details about it on my blog, Dim Sum Knitting.

Wicked body finished!

Yeah, I finished the body of Wicked today! I added 2 extra decreases, and didn't add in any decreases. After I finish this post, I'm going to go pick up the stitches for the sleeve. I am going to make the long sleeved version.

Wicked Good Things

Hi my name is Drea and this is my first post to the Sexy Knitters Club. I have already been working away on Wicked and can't wait to finish it. I am using a hand-dyed superwash merino from Woven Art. I love that this pattern gives you sizing and shaping tips the whole way thru. I first saw the pattern on Gay's Knits hers turned out beautifully!

Da Bears!

I have started my 2nd Wicked & am taking it w/me to a Super Bowl Party Am I CRAZY???? Is anybody else knitting @ the game?

Finished Eiffel!

Here is the finished picture of Eiffel as promised!
Yarn: Idena - Saint Tropez in a stone color.
Size: 38.5, shortened overall length by 3".
Blocking helped just as I had hoped it would! The fit is great & the pattern was easy to follow. Overall I really am happy with my Eiffel! Visit my blog for more pics and info. Now I am off to start Wicked! Everyone's is so pretty I just have to make one too!

Another finished Wicked!

I've been following along here, and I've finished my Wicked! I used Debbie Bliss Merino Aran (8 balls) and US 7 and 8 needles. It's been so helpful seeing all the different versions posted here! See my blog for more pictures and info.

Separated the Sleeves on Wicked!

Just removed the sleeves on Wicked:



and am still on Sleeve Island on Eiffel - finished the body and have six inches left on the first sleeve. I'm going to go back to this one after I finish Wicked as that's going quickly!

Separated the Sleeves!

I just separated the sleeves on Wicked:



Don't ask about Eiffel - I am on sleeve island. I have about six inches done on the first sleeve and have quasi-lost interest for the moment. I'll come back to it probably after I finish Wicked (hopefully this weekend!)

Valentines Day Knitting

For sexy knitters who have slightly more racy V-day plans, you can knit yourself up a pair of edible undies. Or if you do not have such plans, but just want to laugh a lot (I laughed a lot), you can chek out the pattern on Knitty for "302 Calories" here.

Tip: even if edible undies aren't your thing (I'm not sure they are most people's thing), there are other fun lingerie knitting pattern if you click along the pattern links at the top of the 302 Calories page. This one is my favorite.

Done

My Wicked is done! After much, much frogging (thank you kind fellow-SKC KALers for helping face facts and frog) I am finished and almost totally happy. I love the sweater design, but like many others who have used the same yarn (KnitPicks Andean Silk) I find my sweater rather itchy. It was a joy to knit with, but I need to find a layering suitable shirt to wear underneath. I plan to make another Wicked as soon as a few other items in my queue are taken care of and will make it long-sleeve (this one, for yardage reasons, is 3/4 length). I had great fun in this, my first, KAL. Thanks!

Stash Busting Question

Hi, I have enough Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece to make Wicked, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate. I think I can get gauge if I go up a needle size to a 7. Any thoughts on using cotton as an alternative yarn?

Finished Eiffel at last!

After a couple failed attempts at finishing, I finally finished Eiffel! Yippeeee!!!

This is a quick photo, ie: pre-blocked. You can see more photos here. As you can see it is shorter than the photos included with the pattern. It is also shorter than I originally intended. I wasn't able to get a pic of myself today, but hopefully soon. I plan to block it over the weekend and see if it fits better. I think it is pretty good overall, especially for a first sweater!

Stated Wicked

I started Wicked about a week ago. This pic is from where I separated the arms from the body. I am now finished with the decreases and figuring out how much more I have to go before I do the increases. I am using Karabella Aurora 8 from my stash. More info on my blog!
