In Love
I can't even tell you how much I love this...I will wear it everywhere. I will wear it until it falls apart. People will get sick of seeing it...
Pattern: Rogue, Girl From Auntie
Yarn: Bartlett Yarns, Fisherman, Burgundy Heather, 6-1/2 skeins
Time: exactly one month, working exclusively on Rogue
This is my favorite project so far..... favorite pattern to knit, fits perfectly, very well written directions (all 19 pages and 7 cable charts).
Well, not so favorite yarn to knit with, a little rough, and a little "sheepy" smelling, but I think the outcome was worth it.
I made it to fit loosely, because it's gonna have to be outerwear where I live, so I wanted it kind to have kind of a sweatshirt fit. It blocks perfecly to this size, and hey, if I lose weight (yeah right!) or want a more body conscious fit, I just won't stretch it when I block it next time.
A lot of you have said you have been watching my progress and wanting to make a Rogue of your own. Do Not Be Afraid. I had made a total of two simple cables before I took this on.... and if I can do it - so can you! Go For It!
Otherwise people will be sniffing and looking around for the wet dog! Hey - at least it'll the be wet dog in the cutest sweater you've ever seen!

Congrats, Lynda! It looks fabulous on you!! And I bet the sheepy smell will be quite a bit less after you wash it a time or two. :)
I love it . . . wonderful job!!! I knew you were piquant. It came out perfect and looks terrific on you. I'm so proud. Have fun wearing it around everywhere.
YAY! It's such a perfect color for your skin tone. I love it, and you did an absolutely wonderful job on it!
Beautiful Lynda!
Oh Lynda! It's just beautiful! You should be so proud of yourself!!
Hoorayyyyy! That's incredibly beautiful, and the fit is perfect! You've really outdone yourself.
So glad the weather is cooperating!
I love it! You did a great job, and the color is perfect for you!
That is a fantastic picture of you in your Rogue. You definitely look like you're in love. Beautiful beautiful beautiful.
Awesome, I love it. I looks great on you. Rogue is on my every growing to do list. Unfortunately I don't know if I can focus on only 1 project. What's next??
Beautiful!
Lynda, your Rogue is simply fabulous! The color is perfect on you. You must be a very proud knitter. I'd wear it every day if I were you!
It's beautiful! You should be so proud of it. Just gorgeous. I'd wear it all the time too.
Outstanding!!
It reminds me (in a very good, classy way) of the Sr. Lopez jobbies that the surfers wear...
and we know the surfers are awesome..
Congrats!
Oh my gosh Lynda, it's amazing!
that looks AMAZING!!! Really wonderful job. I don't think I'd ever take it off either. I also love that you have pink lipstick on to match!
It's perfect! Looks and fits great! Great job!
Adorable! It looks so good on you. After seeing your rogue, I might have to knit one.
That looks fabulous! You did an awesome job with it Lynda! You so rock!
Beautiful! And what a perfect color on you.
(Thanks for the kind words...I forgot that you had went through a similar experience. Hopefully my sis will be back to visit real soon)
beautiful!! I love the color! And you did a fantastic job! : D
Wow, Lynda! That looks fabulous.
It looks wonderful! You did a beautiful job! Enjoy wearing it!
Fabulous! I predict you will live in that one! I wear mine all the time. I still can't get over how much that yarn looks like the stuff I made mine out of.
Abso-tively, pos-olutely GORGEOUS! You go spicy knitting woman...! The color is really pretty. Nicely done.
Very, very fabulous. You make me want to knit it!
Oh! it's perfect! You have done such gorgeous work and you just look beautiful in your new Rogue!
I love it! And it looks great on you- the perfect pink! Enjoy it- I hope it's a chilly spring.
Rogue turned out great, and this pink looks gorgeous on you. Maybe the sheepy smell will go as you wash it.
Wow, you did an amazing job. I would wear that everywhere too, with a big sign that says "I made this". You look great.
Wow! That is just beautiful!! You did such a good job on it, and I love the color so much.
I love it! I love it! I must have one! :)
Lolly is right, that color is absolutely perfect for you. Try the Kookaburra wool wash -- it has a strong but very pleasant eucalyptus scent that should get rid of the sheepy smell. You can get it from Knit Picks.
So beautiful! I love that pink color, and it looks great on you! I'm one of the people who've been watching your progress wondering if I could make one, too. You're an inspiration!!
Yes it is!!!! The cutest sweater!
The color is great on you!
What a pro!
I am SO impressed. This is a great sweater and looks fabulous on you! You deserve to be proud!
love the rogueness! and what cute pics of you - it's such a great hoodie-knit. you did a great job!
