Then I’m going to tackle my version of Bristow, which has a back and two fronts, but has never been seamed or sleeved, and return at long last to Rogue, another sweater for which I am still feeling the love, but which is another material reminder that love is not all you need.

Because otherwise, I have a tendency to regard every mistake I make as an "interpretation" of the pattern. I have been known to simply repeat a mistake (say, a miscrossed cable made early on in a garment) multiple times in order to make it "part of the pattern." Montse is rolling in her grave, bless her heart. Yes, I have to say, in general, Montse is good for me.

Eff the sleeves and keep it a vest. Just kidding. It looks great. The irony of all the pain for a hood is that, if you are anything like I, you will NEVER wear that hood again. You are the Rogue goddess, and of course the elves are jealous and wish your defeat, but you and your trusty tapestry needle have prevailed. I have to buy the Montse book. I need the reality check of poor craftsmanship instead of the self-delusion of "no one will notice" when all the while I'm pointing out the design flaws. Problem is, if I frog every mistake, there will never be another FO. Kickin’ tats, baby. Eff the sleeves and keep it a vest.

And I know just what you mean about Montse. She can be friend and/or foe, and often both at the same time. I haven't commented on your half of the blog yet (I know Sarah from Ample-Knitters... she gave me the most wonderful sweater a few years back!) I have to say I'm enjoying both of your posts. The sister blog is a neat idea. That graft is gorgeous, Ellen! And I know just what you mean about Montse. She can be friend and/or foe, and often both at the same time.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen the work of those "malicious wild tree elves on crack". They have a lot to answer for! That Rogue is just stunning.
