Remember our friend "mororocapana", aka C.K.? The one with all the
lovely unwanted postings?

Well, he/she tried to apply for the group again. Under this email:
mororocapana_1576@...

Duh.

Needless to say, they were denied.

Love, The Moderator.

I hate this pattern.

Alright, done raving. I'm to the point where I join the yoke. Are there
any more mistakes I need to know about?  I've already almost finished
the yoke twice and had to take it out, and i'm very upset about this.
I've printed the directions on this site.

Let me know if there's anything else i need to know, please!!

Ok, I thought I'd banned this one already, but she should be banned
now and I've deleted all her crap.

From now on people have to request to join, so hopefully we will avoid
this problem from here on out unless they are REALLY determined. In
which case, I'll ban them again.

Thanks for your patience with these jerks.

This group is definitely not what it used to be! :-(
It's a little bit sad to see a nice group agonising because of a heavy

Oh yeah!  Ribbing!  Makes things look smaller!
I am not the brightest bulb on the tree, heh.
I cast on for the sleeve yesterday.  It's gonna take a
while.  I forgot how much fun it was to knit that
thing, though!  Kinda mesmerizing.  I wish I didn't
have such project ADD and could just work on it alone,
though...

Hi, Guin.  I'm a little shorter than you and weigh the same.  I think it's gonna fit fine.  The front pieces seem a bit small because they are ribbed for 5" - once it's blocked it'll be fine.  I really want this to be fitted on me since I'm so tiny up top.  I'm about 6" into my right front now.  I can't wait to get this thing pieced together!!

Hi - sorry I have been lax in checking up on this group. I've just
gone through and deleted all the spam I could find. It wouldn't let me
ban them since they'd already hit and run with their spamcrap.

I'll be keeping a closer eye on those and in the meantime, I've
changed the membership to "restricted" so that people must be approved
for membership before joining. It'll deter most spammers.

Thank you!

I would think that if you didn't increase the sleeves
at all, they wouldn't be too big.  They would just be
straight, then, but if they are still too big, you
could probably get rid of one set of the 3x1 rib on
either edge.

Good luck!

My 9 year old daughter saw a picture of mariah and fell in love with
the sweater.  I am attempting to do the math for a 27" chest, but I am
wondering about the sleeves.  Do you think the cabling would be too
much if I decreased the sleeve width?  Also if anyone has already made
mariah in a size smaller than 33" could you let me know how it went and
if there is anything I need to watch out for.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I just decided to start my mariah, and I'm so glad I found this group!
  It's already answered a million questions I had.  I'm about 13 1/2
inches on my first sleeve, and the pattern is mesmerizing to me- I
love seeing the cables emerge.  It's like magic.

I did have a question, though.  I am not a fan of the zippers.  I just
am not.  Has anyone done buttons instead?  I'm making the smallest
size, and wondering the best way to go about it.  I'm not sure how to
modify it without it getting all wonky and/or bigger- I am very small
and need the 33" modification like you wouldn't believe.

Thanks all!

Liz,
 
I just finished making another Mariah, so this is fresh in my mind (it was my third!).  I did the increases like this:
 
knit the first stitch (as you always do for the selvedge)
with the left needle, pick up the little horizontal bar between stitches
then you can either knit or purl that as if it were any other stitch, based on where you are in the pattern
 
This leaves a wee hole where the increase is, but that will be sewn into the seam so it doesn't really matter.   I feel there's probably a way to twist the stitch to eliminate the hole, but I never really investigated this.  I find the little holes kind of useful when matching up the seams.
 
Good luck!  Enjoy!

So, I have finished the sleeves, the fronts and the back, and am
getting ready to join.  A few questions.

Question 1.  I have somehow managed to have 88 sts on my sleeves. I am
making a size M, and know that the pattern says I am 3 sts off.  Does
anyone know a way I can fix this without having to take it out?  Or is
it possible that the 3 sts won't matter that much.

Question 2.  I am a tight knitter, so I had to go up a needle size,
but this means my rows are off.  I have done the first 3 repeats of
the sleeve chart, and am not going to finish the entire chart. When
should I go back to the border pattern?  (The k2 p2 c4 p2 part)

Thanks for the help!!

Hi!
 
Here is what I did:  In the first instance, I knit around except I stayed in pattern at the sleeves.  Second instance, I kept the selvedge (garter edge) throughout, because it was necessary for the finishing (to turn under and sew down to give the hood edge subtance, attach the zipper to).
 
Hope that helps!

I hope Jodi or someone is still out there. I have two questions:

When joining the sleeves, fronts, and back at the yoke, the pattern
says K all around. Does this mean to also K over the sleeve pattern?
The row I'm at on the sleeves is in the middle of one of the
repetitions, so I'm thihking doing K all around would look weird on
them?? Am I missing something?

Second, when doing the front pieces, the pattern says to change to
stockinette once the ribbing is done. Do I keep the garter stitch edge
or am I supposed to discontinue that and have a stockinette edge for
the zipper?

I don't know if it's just stress from this flippin' sweater, or what,
but I can't get the left panel to work!  I'm doing a size medium, so
it says to cast on 51 sts, and end at point f (I believe--i'm not
looking at my chart right now.)  It doesn't matter what I do, I have
extra sts left!  Did anyone else have this problem?

I'm finally at the point where you jump from row 34 to row 53. I'm
confused because the two sections don't seem to line up. At row 34,
you have 6 purls before and after the knotwork, but at row 53, you
have 7. Is this correct? Should I just follow the chart or is there an
adjustment I need to make?

I put a lot of work into my first sleeve last night, and I love it so
far. I never thought I could make something that looks this cool. Only
problem I've really run into is that I live in a very dark house and
black yarn can be a pain! I'm at line 43, and I have to do the biggest
decrease. I'm having a hard time understanding it.  First off, when
you pass the 2nd stitch on the right needle over the first (centre)
stitch, how can it be both the first and centre stitch? Then, do you
just drop that or is that what you pass to the other needle? Sorry,
I've just been on a roll with this sleeve and now I'm all confused :)

I'm not an expert about zippers,that was my first zipper ever so,
some additionnal info from an experienced knitter-sewer would be
welcome. Moreover, it's completely hand-sewn because I dont have a
machine (snif), I'm not sure I can explain in understandable english
how I battled with my zipper:
I'll write down anyway a few things:
I used as a basis the link Emily posted: message #1092, it's very,
very useful (thanks!)

the good thing is that when it was zipper time, my sweater was so
close to be finished that it kept me motivated.

Then:
- I made myself a big pot of coffee (optional)
- I sew the sweater closed: I joined the two front parts sewing
somewhere between the 2nd garter selvedge stitch and the first st
stitch, so that the garter stitch borders would be inside. i used
some contrasting thin yarn. (my sweater is grey, I used white yarn).
That makes sure that when the sweater is closed, both front part fall
nicely: the zipper is evenly sewn to both front parts.
- had cup of coffee (actually did that after every step)
- used iron (lukewarm) to press lightly the two garter stitch borders
apart, still with sweater inside out.
- with sweater inside-out, pinned the closed zipper to the borders.
- then basted it with contrasting thread (only to the garter stitch
border, not to the front stockinette part of the sweater), then
removed the pins
- removed the yarn basting, which was used to close the sweater.
- tried opening and closing the zipper. admired myself in sweater in
front of the mirror.
- took some matching grey thread, and backstitched the zipper to the
selvedge stitch border. I was sewing about 2-3 mm away from
the "teeth", because there was a kind of line on the zipper's fabric,
so it helped me sw in line. I usually sew normally in a
very "drunken" way.
- then, I hesitated sewing it again, like 6-7 mm away from the teeth,
to make it more resistant. I didn't have the courage.But i guees
that's an option
- then, I stitched the border (not the border with the teeth, the
other one) to the inside of the sweater. I did it rather loosely, so
that there wouldn't be bumps on the outside. I tried to run the
thread through the bumps that appear on reverse stockinette, and I
always used the bumps on the same vertical line to keep the seam even.
That wasn't backstitch: I don't know the name...it's more like, with
inside facing you, zipper on top (run needle through a reverse st st
bump, then trough the zipper band upwards, then back to a bump,
etc...)

A few other notes:
- My sweater is already pilled/felted/damaged where my backpack
touched it - and I had the backpack on for less than 10 min!make sure
it's a densely plied yarn. I suspect mine to be a little loose.
- I suspect I have a slight post-knittum depression: I spent so much
time on my mariah that I don't feel like beginning anything new right
now... that's strange.. Usually, i tend to have startitis (when there
are at least a half million things to be finished first)

Happy zipping,
K.

Thanks so much for your information! I'm about half way through the
neck decreases myself, and I think I'll decrease more than the pattern
says. I also love this pattern but I'm worried that summer will be
here before I'm done with it! I'd love to hear how the zipper goes for
you; I've never does one before. Good luck!

Hello everybody:

I still have a zipper to sew in, and, youpi!, I'll be able to wear my
Mariah. I thought I would write down the things I had to change
(maybe as well the things I would have change if I had thought of it
on time), the problems I met,the things I particularly enjoyed,  etc,
in case it might be of some help.

Let's start with the things I changed:
- the yarn : it's an acrylic-wool (70-30%) blend, (about 22-23
stitches/10cm). So far it looks fine, the cables a little less that
the stockinette part : the sleeve cables do not have a nice stitch
definition sometimes. But maybe that's because of the way I knit, not
because of the yarn..(?) I wonder if it will age nicely.
- the needles: I needed some 4mm needles. I understand I'm not alone
in that case?
- the sleeve length, but well, I'm tall. I chose to make a size L, so
that I would get a M-L-ish size. I knit two cms more than called for
before the armpits, and now, the sleeves are not too short, but, I
would not mind 2-3 cm more.
- in the same spirit, I added 5 cm more to back and front parts until
armpits. (I'm tall), and it looks about the same as the original.
(kind of belt-length)
- and I had to make many many more decreases for the raglan.I counted
and I never got twice the same number. Let's say that from an
original number of stitches of 405 at yoke level, (says pattern, I
hope I had the same number of stitches!?) I decreased until I got 80
stitches on my needle. So that would make about 40 decreasing rows.
(instead of 23). I think it's because of my yarn, and because of my
format. The neck opening is smaller as well that in the original
pattern, but I wanted it that way.
- i changed the hood, because I never managed to understand the
explanations for the hood: I'm not saying they're badly written,
absolutely not, but somehow, while reading the pattern, I couldn't
visualise what the hood was supposed to look like. I don't know what
to blame for that: my english, my ignorance as far as hoods are
concerned (never knitted any), or my laziness (I could have taken
some scrap yarn and made a hood for training, but I really wanted to
finish as soon as possible my mariah..), so I did a simpler (or at
least it seemed to me) version of a hood. Starting from the neck with
the very few stitches I had left after my drastic raglan, knitted a
trapezoid, did then a few decreases before putting half the stitches
on one needle, the other half on another, and ended up with a three-
needle bind-off. The hood is a wee bit too small..
- I changed the cables. But that was an awful mistake. (on row 37, I
crossed the cables in the wrong direction). I was wondering while
knitting that part of the sleeves: "well, this cable motif is
beautiful, but I dont see the logic in it". the next repeat (without
the mistake) revealed the beautiful logic of the cable: once under,
once on top, etc... I left the mistake where it is because I dont
mind a few mistakes on a sweater to remind me I did it myself. It's
not visible unless you're a knitter, I guess. Very few knitters
around..
- almost forgot: I did 2-3 inches more of ribbing on body parts,
mostly because... i liked it and I wanted the sweater to be more
deeply ribbed.

Now, the things I would have changed:
- I might have done an M size for the body, and an L, or maybe XL for
the sleeves. But I guess that can vary a lot from person to person.
- I might have started the sleeves with a few more stitches: 56 or
58, sth like that...and start earlier the increases. Maybe knit an
few cm more ribbing on the sleeves before starting the knotwork
pattern.
- I would have done a V-neck version with hood, a ribbed collar
without hood, and another version with the real hood, and etc, etc...
- If I was to make another Mariah (in real wool, that time!!), I'd
probably use the sleeve cables from Jodi's other pattern, Durrow, and
keep the rest of Mariah as it is. Make a Marrow, or a Duriah. For
variety's sake. To have a same-but-not-exactly-the-same sweater.Would
that cause any copyright problem, or sth?
- whenever I had to make a 5 to 1 decrease, the stitch that remains
is somewhat elongated, resulting in a small hole in the fabric. i
tried several tricks (not purling it,knitting tighter, purling it,
twisting it, etc...) but I had to cheat and sew it afterwards to keep
the fabric's density. I'm still clueless about that.

The things I really, really enjoyed:
- the pattern. it's beautiful, casual, and original. The thing that
makes your colleagues and friends start "oh and ah"-ing: oooh, it's
difficult??!? Try to convince a non-knitter, that, no, cables aren't
that hard. Just need to be able to count. Anyway. Good for self-
esteem.
- the sleeves. I've been sewing them a few inches after starting the
raglan, (to avoid kilometers of seaming when the sweater is so close
to be finished, but GRRR the seaming...) and I spent more time with
the sleeves on in front of a mirror than actually knitting the yoke.
- the raglan. especially the way the ribbing (after finishing the
cable pattern) gets absorbed by the raglan decreases (maybe I'm the
only one to see that with my half-billion raglan decreases)
- the garter selvedge stitch. Yeah, it makes the seaming much much
much simpler. If only I knew that before .. sigh ..
-seaming the garment while knitting the joke: it's great to be able
to wear the sweater at home and admire yourself. Even if there's a
ball of yarn running after you. And a cat after the ball of yar.
- the knitalong group: it's great to have people around ready to
help, including the pattern's designer. Luxury .

The thing I'm not going to enjoy:
sewing in the zipper. especially that it's longer than foreseen..

I wonder who read until there?
All the best, and thanks for your help
