The Rogue Knitting is DONE
I had 3 yards left per sleeve once I bound off. All those decreases at the end really saved my ass. I've still got plenty of yarn left to seam those sleeves and I don't even have to rip out the swatch for that. Yay. It's a damn good thing I have short, stubby arms, apparently. I shortened the sleeves by 2" and they are still going to be on the longish side for me. If I hadn't needed to do that, I definitely would have run out of yarn.
But I can't believe I am actually done knitting my Rogue. I can't wait to seam it, but that won't be tonight, that's for sure. Eyes are too tired for that. I love my Rogue, it's going to make an excellent sweater to wear instead of a coat in Spring. It's big enough on me for that and it's quite cozy.
So I've pretty much convinced myself that I am going to frog back the sleeves on my Manos cardigan. I need to shorten those by 2 inches or I won't wear that sweater, it would be way too annoying. I hate re-knitting things but it's necessary. At least now I'm aware of how much shorter my arms are than everyone elses I'll know to shorten the next time. The Manos cardigan was my first sweater I made for myself. 'Twas a nice learning experience.
Now I've got only my Wyvern socks on the needles. I don't like having only one project on the needles. I think I'm going to pick something easy to start next. Maybe the top-down raglan I was thinking of. I've got to design/calculate it first, however.
