It’s finally a sweater! At least it will be once I get the sleeves sewn in. I finished the hood today and couldn’t wait for the sleeves to take a photo or two.
The cable grafting on the hood was also fun. When I knit this before, I just grafted it straight across like they were all knit stitches. It looked OK, but up close you could tell the difference. I got out my knitting references and figured out how to graft garter stitch. Once you can do that, you just graft stockinette for the knit stitches as they face you, and garter for the purl stitches as they face you.
In progress–
And done!
The sewing needle is just below the grafted seam.
And here is my grafting cheat sheet.
That’s a lovely color on you. I like the cabling along the edge of the hood. Whenever I graft or do Kitchener, I always have to write a new cheat sheet. It’s like I forget from one project to the next.
Wow! Great job in the grafting.
Gorgeous!
What a fabulous color! and I love the cable grafting.
Love it! The fit and color are perfect for you. I can’t believe this is your second Rogue. I have a Dark and Stormy that I finished knitting last spring, all it needs is the finishing and blocking. You’ve motivated me to dig it out and finish it since fall is coming to Wisconsin faster than I would like.
It looks great! Wonderful fit and color 🙂
BEAUTIFUL KNITTING JOB. I like the color. I don’t Kitchner anymore. Life is too short. I use a Russian Lace knitter’s join. Easy
It looks great! Wow. Well done.
