Knitting Goddess #9
Rogue
Yarn: Handspun from a Hungary
Pattern: Rogue Hooded Pullover
Needles: size 8s
Started: December 2004
Finished: April 2005
So, I converted the pattern from a pullover to a zippered cardigan. I haven't really worn it since finishing it. I have some problems with it.
The yarn (handspun from a Hungarian shepherd) is rough and scratchy enough that it won't be comfortable to wear with short sleeves or a tank top. The hood is a little too big. The yarn had too much dye on it and bled on my hands and when I washed it. I tried setting the dye with really hot water and some vinegar, we'll see how that works.
