Uh-oh...

Yes, just what I need. I have 3 sweaters on the needles for myself (Juliet, Menja & the Moorish Patterned Pullover), so obviously, I need to cast on for cardigan-ized Rogue.



The yarn is this beautiful yarn that was a Christmas present to me (3 years ago, but who's counting!). It's beautiful, handspun, 100% wool from a Hungarian shepherd and still has lanolin in it so it will be practically waterproof.

Unfortunately, the shepherd forgot to set the dye on this particular batch of wool, so you'll catch me working on it red handed.


Since it's a giant wheel of yarn, there's really not a whole lot I can do until the garment is finished. Then I'll wash it in cold water and some vinegar and it should be fine. I think.
