rogue cardigan via steeks

hm. this may prove to be a really stupid idea, but I'm going to steek my rogue. it's my first ever sweater & "big project". I mean, in some ways it's a good idea, I just started about a month ago, and I'm already up to the armpits! I love knitting in the round, it's so speedy.



but... now what? since i'm cutting (yikes) the front, should I also steek the arm and neck holes? how do I do the throat cabling? I think it'll get put back into the closet while I start on the sleeves and ponder this. good news, my brain woke up, 6 rows into doing this in the round; ripped back, and will follow pattern. I mean 700 other people did this on ravelry. I think I'll make do.



also, about the kangaroo pocket. I didn't know how to go about it, so I did it as two separate flaps. I didn't want to cut through two layers, y'know? I don't know if that was the right choice or not. I put an extra 10 stitches in the centre for the steek.

being that I have a chest resembling that of a 10 yr old boy, every increase in the side cabling, was met with decreasing in the body. lol.. -_-; I'm pretty sure this is still going to be massive and baggy. gauge swatching didn't go very well, so I gave up, but failed to use math to figure it out. oh well, it's only $93 worth of yarn.. *whimper*



as terrified as I am that I'm going to royally screw this up, I'm pretty pleased with what I've done so far. I'm also getting really good at un-knitting, and dropping back 30 rows to fix mistakes.. LOL
