Rogue is finished!

[juldea]

I have finished my Rogue! Yes, finally. I don't know when I began the actual knitting, but some LJ search has revealed that I bought the yarn on January 6, 2005 and was in progress soon after. This has been just shy of a 2-year sweater!

I did the cardigan modification as well as two slight modifications of my own: a few short rows on the front for bust shaping, and a slight hood change that created a ponytail opening! It's a bit higher than I normally keep my ponytails, but it still works. If the opening turns out to not be useful because of the placement I still have the option of sewing it closed.

And now, pictures. These were all taken with my cell phone camera since I'm at my mom's house for the holidays and no one has a "real" camera here, so please excuse the fuzziness. If you want to browse the pictures one by one, start here and use the little arrows to navigate to the right. If you don't mind loading them all on one page... ... look right here!

For the knit geeks out there, this was knitted on mostly-size-5 Denise needles with Reynolds Candide yarn in color #10, Green Heather. 100% wool and VERY warm.

And no, it is not blocked yet. ;)

nice. I especially like the cable into knotwork.

Well, that's all the pattern's doing. :) But I'll take credit for execution!
