What I did on my Christmas vacation, by Lynne
Woman does not live by economics alone (although sometimes I come pretty close!). I finished my Rogue Hoodie:
Note the gorgeous Victorian buildings in the background; this is Armitage Avenue, one of the nicest streets in Chicago for strolling, boutique shopping, café-ing, etc.
Just to make sure it's clear that we are in my fabulous hometown!
Showing off the side detail and the gorgeous plummy color.
Technical notes:
I did not make many modifications, except for taking about 8 rows out of the front to get it to match the length of the back. The top of the hood was my first-ever grafting, which was OK. The waist shaping is clever and effective. I like having turned sleeve and bottom edges. In general I found it an easy pattern to work with, and I liked having both the verbal instructions and the chart.

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased with it, especially after sitting on the yarn for almost ten years!
