Monogamous knitting
The Rogue knitalong gets underway on the 15th. I know a lot of you have already started yours. Me? I’m waiting. See, I’ve got this idea that if I focus all my knitting energy on Kyoto, I’ll manage to finish that up by the 15th. Then that would leave Rosedale United for subway knitting and Rogue for home knitting. See how nicely that works? I have the back and the right front of Kyoto finished, and it’s a simple pattern, so no reason why I can’t get it done by the 15th. Except for all that damn seaming, of course…
Here’s the yarn I’m using for Rogue. It’s Cascade 220, color # 9410. I ordered it on Tuesday afternoon from the Threadbear boys and it reached my door yesterday morning before 9am. Gotta love those guys.
The color is much better in person, of course.
With some luck, and assuming I don’t fall into an obsessive writing fit for the next few days where nothing tears me away from the novel, I’ll have some Kyoto progress pics for you at some point over the weekend. (Of course, if I do fall into an obsessive writing fit, that ain’t bad either…)
Song for the day? “Te amo” by Tito Nieves. Happy weekend, folks.
love that color – great choice –

The color looks lovely just as it is. Are you planning on modifying the Rogue pattern to worsted gauge? I’m playing with this idea myself….

My Classic Elite Lush ain’t gonna work out. I want Cascade. THAT color. I hate to copycat like that, and I already know I look hideous in green (see The Sweater I Hate), but it’s just so lovely…….

Oh, cool! I was expecting something a little darker, but this is perfect. It’s going to look gorgeous. Wait, so I ordered my yarn a day after you, so I should get it tomorrow? Whee! Of course, not like I can start until I get the pattern, but still…

The Cascade looks lovely! I’m not starting yet, either. I’m kind of scared to start. Too much discussion on that yahoo groups board is freaking me out!

Lovely colour for Rogue! And aren’t you the organized knitter, budgeting time and all. Obsessive knitting or obsessive writing — both would be great! Have a good weekend, Sunset Boulevard!

I have Cascade 220 for a Rogue Sweater, too, but I wasn’t sure how that would work out. It seemed like a lot of people were using Silkwood Aran yarn and whatnot – beautiful yarn, but a bit pricey for my budget right now. Now that I have seen the pics of your Rogue, I think I will cast on tomorrow night if we get a break in our Nursing class.
