The Rogue is a sweater
I seamed her this weekend. Seaming set-in sleeves is not near the top of my most-fun list, although I do generally enjoy seaming. I'm happy it's done, I'm still weaving in ends though. Funny how many of them there are, despite the fact that a lot of this sweater is done in the round.
I like it a lot, it fits :-) The only thing is that it's a big baggy in the armhole area when I hold my arms out. My row and stitch gauges were spot-on so I'm not sure why it's so weird and big there. It looks totally fine normally and since I don't plan on walking around with my arms held straight out I think it's fine.
I still have to block it, especially those wonky spots on the hood where the double decreases are.
I've ignored all my other broken projects. I am going to start with A's vest and fix that first as my Olympics challenge.
Broken project list for my reference:
- Orange/pink vest: rip out edging, unseam shoulder, frog left front back to where I *should* have bound off for the neckline and re-knit the top section. Seam again and re-do edging.
- Manos Cardigan: Un-seam sleeves, frog sleeves back to last increase then decrease for sleeve cap, removing the 1 1/2 inches that were knit straight to shorten sleeves.
- Natalya fingerless mitt: drop stitches down and put in that cable twist I missed.
- Wyvern sock: Figure out what I did to mess up that weird-looking stitch, fix from where I am or frog back half a round to do it right.
- River stole: Fix that one yarn-over I missed.
What the hell? I NEVER make mistakes like these that I've listed!!! Where is my mind? I need to be more careful, methinks.
