I've missed something - what is this 'the rogue' you refer to?

I like your hats (and the gryffindor scarf), and the bunnies are so cute! Congratulations on the socks even if they don't fit. Your rogue yarn is very pretty. I totally admire that you take on bigger and bigger pieces. I'm nervous about cabling, but it sure is purty!

Yeah, I realized that while I was knitting it. ;) But it's really supposed to be Chiefs (http://store.kcchiefs.com/) colors!

Thank you :D

Cabling itself, just a braid like in the pink hat, is fairly simple. It's just leapfrogging your stitches, basically. The Rogue instructions, however, are daunting - there's a cable CHART, not just written directions, and there are things like twisted cables and ... I'm really nervous. But the gals at the YS last night said someone in the store had made that sweater before, so if tpau and I can't figure it out I'm sure we can head into there for some help. :)

If your ever into making extra cash with your neat little creations let me know :) I love the bunnies you made and have a few friends that are either pregnant or trying atm and they would be so cute with the diaper cakes I have been working on for everyone!
