It Is Finished

I have finished my Rogue Hoodie. I will post pics of it when I can get my DH to take a pic. However, let me for a moment demonstrate how close I came to total disaster:




That's how much yarn I had left.

I knitted both sleeves at the same time, and the pile on the right is the right hand sleeve's yarn, the pile on the left for the left.

Now, I HAVE more yarn, but that yarn was at my AZ home and I was in CA when I was finishing. I had (foolishly?!) packed in such a way so as to need to WEAR the sweater home if I was to fit everything in the suitcase.

So.

There was a little pressure.

The fates were with me, though. I had enough yarn to finish the knitting AND the seaming.




With a little left for fixing holes/tears/snags.

Allelu...

What? No view of the entire cable-fest of a garment?!
Luscious shade of blue, though. You spun the yarn, too? Wow!
