Wicked Mama

This was my first big adult knit - scary - but I love having something for me. It’s my gift to myself for losing weight (9ish kgs now) - I promised myself something for me and in a good yarn too (and that i can now knit a smaller size it was quite exciting). I love it - I wear it all the time. I went for short sleeves so I can wear a long sleeve underneath.

Pattern: Wicked by Zephyr Style

Yarn: Woolganic in Raindrops - 7 balls

This woolganic is absolutely gorgeous to knit with. The drape of the fabric is lovely. It’s squishy and snuggly. What more can I say.

Mods -I knit neck on 3.25mm and body on 4.5mm and in 8ply.

6 bust decreases…followed by 3 waist increases.

Length from underarm increased to about 17inches.

Hem in twisty rib instead of moss stitch.

Stunning!! You've done a beautiful job, the Woolganic is so lovely isn't it. I love this pattern and have some special yarn saved up for one if I EVER manage to shed all my baby weight!
