A Rogue and a Jaywalker Walk Into A Bar

While I am in stasis between work and school, I started on a project I've been coveting since I started knitting.

The Rogue Hooded Pullover from The Girl From Auntie.  After consulting with the owner at Needleworks and my wallet, I decided to knit this using Ella Rae Classic in the Toast colorway.  It feels fantastic.

I threaded in a lifeline through the stitches that are picked up to start the pocket.  That way I was sure the pocket was straight and that the stitches were evenly spaced apart.  I'm sure that not putting in the lifeline would have given me a headache.

The cabling detail on both sides of the pullover makes the knitting interesting enough considering that everything else for the body is stockinette.  I added an extra cable repeat to give it length after reading posts on the Rogue Knitalong group on Ravelry.  I'm now wondering if I should have used a cable repeat that doesn't give Rogue any shaping.  I like to eat a lot of apple pie.

I hope it fits; the ladies at the knit shop measured me so I could be sure of the numbers at least.

I also finished a very old work in progress.  Two years old is my estimation.

Sexual Chocolate Jaywalkers.  These are knit on size 1 dpns in a Lorna's Laces in a colorway only available at Purl Soho in Manhattan.  You can purchase all of their exclusive colorways here.  This one is called Chocolate Stripe.

I initially knit the first sock one size too small and had to frog it.  Then I got tired of looking at them and threw them in the closet.  When I had more free time, I fished them out and finished them up.  The grafting on one of the toes came out and I fixed it the best I could, which means it looks a little sloppy.  I am totally OK with this at this point.  They are done, they are mine, and I rather like them.
