Humbled
Wow! Thanks for all the kind words about Rogue. I blush.
No knitting content today. I developed a wicked headache yesterday afternoon, so once Craig got home I put the hood up on my Rogue and laid in the quiet dark until all the pain pills kicked in. I love this sweater. It's soooooo soft against my achy head.
I'm feeling better today. And I get to go out with my mom-friends for beers (we used to meet with our kids, but we now prefer to leave them home!) and show off my sweater.
Bonne Marie pointed me your way and all I can say is WOW!! Love the sweater, I must have the pattern. It really is beautiful! You look lovely.

Glad you're feeling better now - the sweater looks SOOOO good, I can't wait to see it in person!!

Hi Stephannie - Beautiful job on Rogue!
I love textured knitting too. I'm about to start St. Brigid as soon as I've finished a vest for DH.

Your Rogue is gorgeous! I just bought the pattern and thought I had the right yarn for it, but I'm thinking I may order the Silkroad. It looks perfect! I like the way yours fits you. Did you go with the recommended 2-4 inches of ease?

Yours looks great! I am still flummoxed by the hood. Sewed it up and it looks slightly puckered where the decreases are on each side. Just can't decide if blocking will ease that a little...I am sooo close to frogging it and beginning anew - especially after seeing your perfectly formed, rounded hood!

Beautiful job, Steph! It may not feel like it you, but that was FAST. The colour, the fit, it all looks great on you. (I like the ethereal photo of you, too! A sweater from heaven [cue the harps]...) :)
