I started in March, finished the actual knitting almost two months ago and I have been happily wearing this beauty zipperless since then. But.....today I...
Wow, Margot, It looks fabulous! That is very well behaved cotton. Nice fit. Julia http://yarnmaven.typepad.com ... From: "snowfalcon9" <firewood9@...> ...
thanks for all the kudos - what fun! I realized after my post that I actually sized the sweater for a 35" bust, not a 33". as for the shrug in the photo album...
well, this has been interesting. i love the sleeves. i love cabling without a cable needle. i love this (patons merino) yarn. but i did something wonky with...
Heather, I actually like your version. It's almost a totally different sweater -- longer like a tunic, rather than the close-fit cropped look. And it works...
Heather I think you did a beautiful job, the cabling and the yarn is lovely. but, if you're really not happy, I think it will probably fit me!!!!! Sherrye in...
So. I LOVE my mariah. It fits perfectly (I did the revised edition, the original didn't work in my case - size XL). The only problem is that this pattons...
Jaime, Congrats on making such a fabulously fitting Mariah! Did you post pictures to your blog? I took a quick peek but didn't see any. Anyway, I haven't used...
I hope that someone here can help me. I feel like I am going crazy. I am trying to start the sleeves. I don't get how if you cast on 52 stitches you can work...
... You start at point A and only repeat the section labeled 22-stitch repeat, until the last repeat. Then you go all the way to the end of the chart. Cassie ...
Hi, friends! Congrats to us all for having such great taste and choosing this rad sweater (and props to Jodi, of course!) I've been knitting this dang ol'...
Howdy! I finally got my zipper in the mail today and plan on putting it in this weekend. Yipee! I was looking over the messages and saw that some people folded...
Hi Karen, I stitched mine down before I put the zipper in. Someone else did an applied i-cord and I wish I had done that - it would have made a nicer, less...
Hey there, That might be me you're thinking of. The applied i-cord edging ended up being very nice... an easy alternative and a very finished look. No turning...
... Hi Karma, I remember how nice your Mariah came out. Did you do the applied i-cord edge right on the selvedge? Or do you fold it under and then do the i- ...
I did not sew my selvedge down. I folded it back and basted the front together, then pinned the zipper in place to make sure it was straight. Then I sewed the...
Karen, I knit the icord right onto the front edge. Do you have Nancie Wiseman's The Knitter's Book of Finishing Techniques? Her directions were really helpful...
Thanks for all the great tips on putting in the zipper. I think I am going to see if I can figure out how to do the applied i-cord edge and if not then I will...
Hi everyone! Well I finally finished my Mariah! Yippee! I wanted to thank everyone for all the great tips and advise. It definitely helped me a lot having this...
Hi, all, I'm making the large sleeves, and I can't get my stitches to add up to 102. I have: 52 stitches to start 12 cable increases 36 sleeve increases (18...
Jen, when I made my sleeves, and I think this was a common "phenomenon" among list members, I didn't end up making all of the increases because the sleeves...
I'm planning to knit this soon! Just a q: has anyone tried Reynolds Lit-Lopi? It supposedly works up at the same gauge with a US8. I'm just looking for a...
While not a hard and fast rule, I would stay with a plied yarn versus the single ply that Lite Lopi is. I like the yarn, but I think it's better suited for...
i used the Knit Picks one, and i must say, my cables look fabulous! (^_~) jonnie _____ From: mariahalong@yahoogroups.com [mailto:mariahalong@yahoogroups.com]...
I used the Patons Classic Merino and I really love it. Got it cheap on e-bay, too. I'm almost done! Just got to put in the zipper. I'll post a picture one...
if you are looking for cheap but good i would suggest www.knitpicks.comalpaca silk i believe i spent about $40 on it for the largest size. i am really happy...
I have used Lite Lopi and it's SCRATCHY, plus as a loosely-spun singles yarn, it is pretty easy to pull apart with your fingers. That's a big downside for...
