Rogue

Here it is, the ultimate cabled sweater...Rogue. I love this sweater, I love the Celtic cables on it, I love the waist shaping, I love the way it knits up so easily because Jenna wrote the directions SO WELL. I can't wait for the weather to change so I can wear it again. Did I mention I love Rogue? I knit it from Jo Sharp's Silkroad Aran (merino, cashmere, and silk - take a moment to ponder the yummyness) in Quartz, the same smokey violet color as in the picture. I did not do the kangaroo pocket because I'm not a person who uses a kangaroo pocket and I decided I didn't need a double layer of sweater on my tummy. In my opinion, Rogue is the perfect combination of stockinette and something else (in this case, cables). There are enough cables to make it interesting to knit and enough stockinette that it knits up very quickly. I will probably knit Rogue again at some point, probably using Claudia's cardigan mods just for something different. If you've never knit Rogue, go get some yarn (KnitPicks Wool of the Andes and Andean Silk should both get you gauge and are very reasonably priced), download the pattern and go for it. Its a very well written pattern and you'll love the sweater!
