The Wonder Woman Jumper

This jumper took me 14 months to make, and makes me very, very happy (funny expression notwithstanding). So happy, I'm going to have to post another image.

And one more (there are a ton more on my flickr. Not that I'm vain...):

I got the basic shape of the jumper from a Woolworth magazine from the seventies, and I drafted the design myself (with the aid of many many pictures of WW!). I knit it out of Italian Adrifil merino wool, which claimed to be DK, but was blatantly 4ply, and ended up needing 3mm needles. I also ran out of wool twice during the project. Once of the blue during the back (and had to stripe in a different dye lot):

And once of red, during the main body. That was much worse, because the red I had was discontinued! And I had done all of the front, with the intarsia, so I really didn't want to rip back and do it again with a different red... In the end I came up with this:A cable in two colours, running right at the edge of the back, so that when seamed it looks like it is the seamline. With the bonus that it looks a bit like flames! Hurrah!

I reckon I got away with it thanks to the bracelets of power:
And now, excuse me, I must fly off to save the universe!

ETA- A lot of lovely people have asked for patterns (Thank you! I'm very flattered!). That's something that may or may not ever happen, but if you e-mail me, I'll send you a scan of the charts I made up, and a wrote up something of a craftster tutorial here. Let me know in the comments if you have questions...
