May I Present Rogue...
Here she is...
Pattern: Rogue by Girl From Auntie
Yarn: Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed (127 Heather)
Needle: Denise US 8
Hood Up!
So pleased to finally be together!
I know I'm a super slow knitter, but really this is the hardest project I have done yet. I think that it made me a better knitter. I have a tendancy to just say "eh, F*ck it" if I make a smallish mistake...but with Rogue I ripped them all out and redid all the little mistakes. Boy, did they add up! I am so thrilled with how Rogue came out. Of course, it's 85 degrees today. Oh well!
Whee! I have been saying the same thing to my pals... "Can you believe I am done?!!"
I love it. LOVE IT!
WOO HOO! Break out the champagne, my dear, because Rogue is gaw-geous!!! I'm proud of you for ripping out and fixing all those mistakes, too. Such a ripping punk, I am.
Pixie is the cutest. We can't get enough pictures of her, you know. Post more!
P.S. Swatching tonight!

Posted by: Mia at April 19, 2005 10:27 AMStoopid Bloglines didn't tell me you had posted. Anyhoo, I love Rogue. You look great in her. And just think, when Fall hits, you will be stylin'. Sorry to hear that Pixie was sick but she sure does look cute. Have a super week!

Posted by: VaxGirl at April 19, 2005 05:46 PMHoley moley, H, this is amazing! That first shot totally shows off the awesome cables! I love the way it looks on you, and I CANNOT wait to see it in person. You are so talented--I don't think I can ever take this one on!
Love the pics--looks like you had a fun time!
Posted by: Lolly at April 19, 2005 06:49 PMCongratulations! Rogue is fabulous. I love the color and the yarn you chose. Maybe you'll get a chilly night in the next couple of weeks and you'll need some wooly comfort in Rogue??
Posted by: Karma at April 19, 2005 07:24 PMIt's beautiful! Great job on your Rogue.
Posted by: monica at April 19, 2005 09:52 PMThat is amazing! Awesome job.
Posted by: isel at April 19, 2005 10:26 PMHot DAMN! It was worth the wait. You did an outstanding job on Rogue. You must be so pleased. ;-)
Hope the pixieloo is feeling better.
Posted by: Jenny at April 20, 2005 02:12 AMYAY isn't Rogue the best? I'm actually going to make another rogue (someday) and re-doing projects is against my religion. But that sweater is just that good. I read somewhere a long time ago that people were sick of that sweater and wouldn't it suck to make a sweater that absolutely everyone had and the best response I saw to that was: Heck no, Rogue is a classic.
Yours is gorgeous and no matter how long it took, it was worth the wait!
Posted by: jenifleur at April 20, 2005 02:46 AMYour Rogue is absolutely gorgeous. I love the tweediness of the yarn, and it looks lovely on you. Wear it with pride!
Posted by: Ann at April 20, 2005 08:44 AMRogue is so perfect- congratulations! (well, you can probably use it once they crank up the AC!)
Posted by: frecklegirl at April 20, 2005 10:06 AMlove-love-LOVE Rogue! Great job, H! And the color is perfect for you!
I bask in your glory!
your rogue looks FANTASTIC! and so glad pixie is feeling better. such fun pics.
Posted by: froggy at April 20, 2005 03:58 PMHeather, Rogue is just beautiful. I wish mine looked like that!
Posted by: Susan at April 20, 2005 04:44 PMHeather!!! It looks FABULOUS!!! SOO GREAT!!! It's totally making me wanna pick up and cast on for the body of mine!! (I only have two sleeves at this point!!)
Also, Lolly told me you got your nose pierced a few weeks ago!! SO CUTE! I just got one yesterday!! owwwwww!!!
Posted by: Lara at April 21, 2005 01:20 AMI was just about to use my Rogue yarn for something else and then I saw yours!! It's beautiful and is still in my future-thanks to you. Jane
Posted by: jane at April 21, 2005 09:39 AMHey there, this is my first time posting a comment to you so....hello, nice to meet you. I had to leave a comment about your BEAUTIFUL Rogue. I have been thinking for awhile that I had to make that, now I'm sure. I call my two year old Pixie, so thought it was very cute that you do the same for your little sweetie.
