Rogue-ing along….

I am making it out of Lamb’s pride
worsted weight. i bought a few cones from ebay from oregon trail yarns (if you are trying to not buy
any fiber, stay away from that link). The color is actually much redder than it
looks on my computer…. It was funny to see so many designs in the new knitty made out of
this very yarn. I really enjoy working with it.

Some details on the knitting so far:
I didn’t like the hem in the pattern, so i used my vogue knitting book to help me make a new one.
i’m not sure i like that one either. The sweater is cardiganized, so the left
edge in the photo is in fact the left edge of the work. you can see the
partially attached pocket dangling there. i couldn’t quite get stitch gauge
since the yarn was a little too fine for this project. my compromise was that
i just knit the next size up. Is this an acceptable strategy? will my cardigan
be horribly disproportionate? Let’s hope i don’t have to move the updates to
the Complete Disasters
category.
