Just under the Wire

We got in from our travels a little early, giving me the opportunity to finish up one of the 2006 UFO’s. 

I present Rogue :

modeled in the dark without enough light to see detail, and me in my sweats, but done before the end of the year.

Here is a little detail of the neckline:

And the hood:

The yarn is Tahki’s Donegal Tweed which had been residing in my stash for at least 10 years.  I knew it would not show the detail of the pattern stitches as well as a solid yarn but I knew I wanted to use it for Rogue as soon as I discovered the pattern, in the fall of 2005.

Although I have not finished as many projects in 2006 as I hoped, I must admit that I am happy with what I have produced.  In fact both Rogue and Mermaid were fun to knit and I love the results.  Both patterns are ones that I will probably knit again because they are so basic and entertaining knits, and they are basic enough and flattering enough to earn repeated wear.

    Wonderful! It’s not about the quantity of what you knit in a year, but the quality. And Rogue and Mermaid are top quality!
