My Rogue is coming along nicely. I’ve had a few errors, but I think I am still doing good. You can see how long it is. I don’t like pullovers to be short, so I lengthened it to my own preferences.

This has definately been a great project. I will probably make another one later. I have figured out where I had problems and know how to fix them for the next go around. I still recommend starting with the sleeves after you have swatched the sleeve cable and hem facing. That will give you plenty of good practice.

Well, I’m a little disappointed in the Fall 05 knitty. The only thing I may knit from it is Bubby the bear. I do like Revolution, but it is not something for me. /sigh

Rogue is still going great. I’ve finished the repeats (with extra for length) and am working on the last of the underarm/side chart. Go me! I hope the finish that part by the time I head to sleep tomorrow night!

I’m a knitting fool!

I’ve started the pocket. Actually I did eight rows and then went back and picked up the stitches to continue the actual pullover. I don’t want to get confuddled trying to figure out which row of the pocket I am on.

Hrm, now I must go decide whether to continue or go to sleep. Still, I am happy with my progress.

So in my attempt to try and do three things at once, I have fubared my rogue body. Damnit. It was so bad (dropped stitches etc) that I frogged it completely. I will start again tonight. I am determined. I don’t care what, I’m going to make some sort of progress tonight. Damnit.

I am making more progress on Rogue. I finished the hem facing and managed to get two rows done. OK, so they weren’t very complex rows, but I got them done. I may try to do a little more tonight. I think the fact that all I was doing was knitting and purling turned me off from doing much else.

I’m analyzing the pattern and trying to decide just how many repeats I should do in the middle. I tend to prefer my tops longer than this one is designed to be. I may repeat two extra times. That would add an extra two inches. I think that should be enough.

There isn’t really a need for a picture update because honestly, it isn’t anything exciting. Once I get some of the cables or the pocket (which I still haven’t decided if I want it) done, I’ll take a picture. That is of course if my camera is still working!

At the speed I am getting this done, I may finish it before fall! Go me. I’m going totally gung-ho. I want to get something done for myself. I need to. After this, I am going to make the cigar gloves from the current issue of knitty. Josh can use those for flying. I may have some of the KnitPicks Wool of the Andes left that I can use for it. If I don’t, I won’t be bothered if I have to order more. /wink I wonder if he would like me to knit a hat as well?

Two sleeves knitted. The second one is blocked and drying now. While that was started, I seamed up the first one. I think it is going to be a hair longer than my arms. I don’t mind. My dimensions seem to be on target.

I am going to swatch tonight. My wrist has been bothering me a tiny bit, so I am going to let it rest. I don’t want my gauge to be off.

I think if I do another, I’m going to knit the sleeves in the round. I don’t like seaming.
