Finit!

Le Rogue, she est finit! She could use another good blocking now that the seams are all done up. I like it very much! The fit came out pretty much how I wanted it to. I should have shortened the sleeves a half an inch or so, but no worries there. The twisted stitch hem gives the sweater a very finished look, and I adore the kangaroo pocket. I hope it's chilly enough for me to wear it to the medieval faire next week!

Details

Pattern: Rogue

Yarn: Cascade 220 'The Heathers' Color 2429

Began: August 17, 2006

Finished: January 20, 2007

It takes me a while to knit up a sweater, ok?! Now I'm off to fix the twist in the ruffle of the Hot Tamale, so that I can get knitting on that this weekend. Maybe it won't be on the needles quite as long as this sweater was!

Wow...it looks great! Those cables are so tastefully done, and I love the color. You must be pretty pleased. And I think your timing on Rogue is just fine- if mine on the simple knitted bodice is any standard! ;)

Have fun wearing it!

You rock, girl. You could wear that in October up here, although it would be far better now, since it's 25 freaklin' degrees!
