I received my yarn order from KnitPicks on Monday but with my arm, updating was the least of my concerns. I will take pictures later. I have knitted with half of a skein already. Thankfully I don’t have to move my injured arm that much. I am working on getting gauge. I am currently going in the round after getting the proper gauge on straights. Right now it somewhat resembles a loin cloth.

I got the Wool of the Andes for a couple of reasons. Wanting wool is one of them, but the main reason was of course the price. I am not sure how I will do making Rogue, so I would rather mess up with $25 worth of yarn rather than over $100. If I am confident that I can do it again with no problem, I will splurge on different yarn.

So far it has knit up beautifully. It is moving smoothly on the Denises. I’ve not had any noticable reaction to the wool. I have had reactions to some natural fibers before, so I am was a little concerned.

I plan on ripping it out to start practicing the cables. I’ve been reading the Rogue pattern and I feel good about doing it. My only concern is going to be the backwards cables. I just have to remember to use lifelines!
