Part I Down
I finished the hood on Rogue yesterday while I was at the yarn store.
Pumpkin Mama gave me her directions for grafting the cables and it was very helpful. The process was much simpler with those directions!
So now I just have two sleeves and I'll be done. I wonder how long those two sleeves will take me. Last night I didn't feel like knitting on the first sleeve (you see why I'm worried about how long the sleeves will take?), so I dug to the bottom of the WIP basket for the Curiously Clever Clogs. It's getting cold here and I need some new slippers. I remember now why I stopped working on these. I got to the point where I'm supposed to attach the outer sole to the main slipper body.
Sounds simple right? Well, I'm having a really hard time figuring it out. I did a google search on this pattern and the only blog I can find with a completed pair is Indigo Muse. I e-mailed her to see if she can help me interpret the directions, but haven't heard back. If any of you are familiar with the pattern, I'd love some insight. Anyway, for now I think I'll go back to the Rogue sleeve and maybe just look for a new clog pattern. The thing I like about this pattern is the more streamlined style, but I guess I could knit one to figure it out and then rip it out and redo it. Although that doesn't really sound that fun.

Rogue is wonderful. Just do the sleeves and you'll be done and then you can wear it!

Are you on Ravelry yet? There are 8 projects for this patetrn there. If not, let me know and I'll e-mail their blog addresses to you.

Use this address for the 'not on Ravelry" e-mail - the blog has moved and I rarely check the old address.

Great Rogue! I did my sleeves first and now I'm slowly working my way up the body. They don't take too long, but I did mine at the same time. That second sleeve is always a killer for me.
I'm starting a Rogue KAL on Ravelry. Are you there yet? (Forgive me if we already exchanged usernames and all that; there are a LOT of people on Ravelry these days....)

Rogue is coming along beautifully! I love anything that combines tweed and cables... :) good luck on the clog - what a challenge!

I lurk...your work is beautiful. I did a search and found this KAL site...maybe it will help with the clogs. Good luck!

I tried knitting these clogs and I couldn't figure it out either. It was so frustrating. Let me know if you get any tips from fellow knitters.
