And now here is the breakdown. My Wicked "666" history. This took me about 6 days to complete, not counting the waiting time for the additional yarn to arrive. Knit on size 6 needles. I used 6 balls of Rowan's Cashsoft DK in "Clementine" for size 40-43" Large and I used EVERY last bit of this yarn. I wanted 3/4 sleeves, but running low I stopped knitting first sleeve at the elbow and then had to recalculate yardage when I ran out of yarn 20 rows into the second sleeve. After an evening of frogging and praying to the Knitting Gods to show mercy on my Wicked Soul, I had sweet success;)
The ever popular Bathroom mirror shot....Sorry. Phew, stick a fork in me, cause I'm DONE!
Now I need a beer:) Cheers!

AWESOME!!!
I like it.
I think the sleeves look good at that length.
That turned out lovely! I have some sock yarn that would go fabulous! I wish I could get around to doing my Wicked but I'm still trying to finish hubby's socks by the 31st.
Love Wicked! I'm ripping mine but planning on restarting once I get some new yarn. :) Love the color too.
That turned out great - and that has to be some kind of record - 6 DAYS! Amazing.
Definitely Wicked cool! I just love the color! so pretty and it fits you great!!!
Nice work! You work quickly, I'm very impressed. I really need to buckle down and finish mine.
It looks great! Every time I see this pattern I fall in love with it all over again, I guess that means I should get off my rear and knit it huh?
Wonderful job!
