Yes, I finally have a FO to report on this knitalong. I'm very excited for that. Just a couple of shots to show the finished result. I picked out two ribbon colors, one is a sheer ivory, which I didn't take the picture with and the other is a taupe, sort of pale brown color. The front a la Rachael: and one of the back:Project: Tempting from KnittyYarn: Katia Bufalo, color 17(dusky teal)

I made a ragland version of Tempting for my DD. While making it, I was also making eyelet-ribbing socks, and the perfect eyelet pattern for Tempting dawned on me.*K2, YO, P2-tog, K2, P2-tog, YO* Repeat.If you make the large size, your eyelet pattern will be offset by 4 sts. For some reason, all the other sizes have a multiple of 8 sts, except the large. I'd rewrite the large size as follows:

I finished Tempting! I love the way this sweater looks and fits, and how easy it was to knit. I like easy projects I can knit while engaging in another activity like conversation or watching TV.Compliments flowed from friends, family, and strangers when I wore the sweater all day Wednesday, so my knitting ego was stoked. I wish I'd used a natural fiber, because an acrylic top in 90°F weather

Here's a progress pic:It's tedious, so I'm not getting a lot done at a time. But I think that'll change as I look for a break from socks and lacework.

First of all, thanks for including me in my first knit-along. I've been knitting exactly 6 months now, and love every minute of it. Today marks exactly 1 month since I started Tempting, and I'm almost done. I just joined the 3 pieces last night. It's so exciting to see my hard work resemble a sweater now.I had a couple of minor problems. I'm making the L size, so I don't know if this will

But I'm getting closer. Everybody says this is a quick knit, but I guess ribbing bores me. Sometimes I can get into a rhythm and get some knitting going with this 2x2 ribbing, but mostly I just get bored with it. I am getting closer now as I'm up to 15 inches, which is where I stopped to begin the sleeves, because I wanted my Tempting to be at least 22 inches, I made the body a little longer

I haven't seen a post recently on everyone's progress on Tempting. How's everyone doing. I was away for almost two weeks in training for work and also traveling in NYC with my bf. I did get to work on Tempting somewhat and have a little bit of progress to show. I'm at 12 inches now and only 3 more to go before I begin working on the sleeves. I see all these people out in blog-land who say

I finished Tempting today!!I used the recommended needles, and got on gauge with GGH Samoa. I started on April 23rd, and finished today. I liked the three needle bind off-someone said it'd be a welcome break to the ribbing, and they were right. I used the striping instructions given here, only repeated it once, though, and for decreasing instead of eyelets, I knit only two, two and a half

If I were to do this again, I think I would decrease after a few rounds from attaching the arms. I would also lengthen the arms a little bit more.All in all, a pretty easy

I'm about eight inches into the body of Tempting right now:While the K2P2 ribbing is a little annoying, it is kind of mindless. Here's what I've learned so far:1. Even when you're SURE you didn't twist your stitches- you still might have. 2. Ripping back after only knitting an inch sure is frustrating, but it's useful if you take that time to "try the piece on" to see how it would fit...and when

Hi everyone!I have been working on Tempting for a while. After about 6", I was really hoping I was getting close, but no luck. After a while, you just want to stop the whole k2, p2!Anyway, I have attached the sleeves. The tricky part was trying to figure out how you really needed to work with the waste yarn when adding the sleeves to the body. If you have questions, I found a couple of good posts

Hi all,I'm Wanda and this is my first time ever being a part of a knit-along and I'm very excited to join. I actually was looking at the 2005 Knitalongs list and found the Tempting KAL. I started my Tempting right around the weekend of the 15th without even knowing about this, which is pretty cool. Not too much to say. I really like this pattern and I'm making mine out of Katia Bufalo, which

Hi everyone,Well I finished as planned but I'm not real happy with the result. The neckline worked out fine but the body seems a bit long to me. What do you think? Go on over here and let me know.Jessica

Hi everyone!I just joined the knitalong when a friend pointed it out to me yesterday even though it looks as though I'll be finished in a couple of days. I'm using Lion Brand Cotton Ease and I've done a couple of modifications. I made the body about an extra inch long and I made the sleeves about an inch longer too. I'm fairly tall so I wanted the extra body length and I'm just not a fan of "cap"

Even though our knit-along officially starts today, feel free to join in whenever you have time. Tempting promises to be a pretty quick knit, so I hope to see a few finished sweaters here by the end of the month!

Seems like everyone is talking about modifying the original pattern. I'd like to make a list of the different mods and who's attempting them so we'll know who to contact when we start pulling our hair (and stitches) out. Leave your mod ideas in the comments and I'll gather them in to one post we'll add to the menu on the side as a kind of reference. Also, don't forget to e-mail me (sarah AT
