Skullsville, USA
My darling's sweater is finally complete! After a month of searching for the yarn to finish it up, Skully is done and pret-a-porter! Here we go!
Here is the monster blocking.... Wow - too big for my homemade blocking boards! :)
And here's a detail of one of the Mr. Skullheads.....
And my handsome hunny (the Bune himself) in his custom knit sweater. He's so dreamy... ;)
The Specs:
Skully, from Stitch 'n Bitch by Debbie Stoller
10 skeins of Lamb's Pride Bulky in Deep Charcoal, 1 skein of LP Bulky in White.
Knit on size 10.5US circular needles.
Changes: Only a couple.... I made the sleeves and the body a couple of inches longer per Jamie's request. I think it came out looking great since the sweater is long, yet close fitting for his big man chest. Sex-ay!
Comments: I loved knitting this! My first intarsia project - and I did okay! I'm really glad that the first sweater I knit for my sweetie involved a nice knitting challenge for me. It made it even more meaningful when it was done and I presented him with it. :)

Looking great! I like how the sleeves and hem length look; my bro likes to wear his sweaters the same way.
