Rogue

Another use for a crutch.

Remember the Pendleton wool? This is one of the spools of yarn unwound and drying after being washed to remove the coating for weaving. It's destined for being worked into a Rogue sweater. I'm taking a Rogue Knit-a-along class starting this week. This will be for me, a reward for whipping out a shawl in a month.

The foot is much better. The week spent in a wheelchair at work gave it the time it needed to heal. Last week I tested it and it's doing well. I'm taking care not to overdo it and ice it down when it gets too swollen. But I don't see surgery in the near future. Whee!!!

I'm at a bit of a loss here.... you're paying for a class? I know a few people who've knitted this and I didn't think it was that difficult. Especially when you can knit lace - cables are much easier than lace.

I got the same response from the instructor, who knows me, and I gave her the same response. It's for the cameraderie of knitting a garment with other people. Plus you don't know what little tricks the instructor has.

You go, girl! I love Rogue and plan to make one myself some day. :)

Are you using this as a crutch?

Are you going to dye the yarn or make a white / natural sweater?
