theraineysisters knitting and so much more

Welcome

Filed under: Current Projects — Sally @ 12:54 pm

My sister Susan and I decided to start a joint blog focused on our knitting; we live 1000 miles apart but we talk on the phone almost every day and most of the time we’re talking about knitting. We have absolutely no idea how to create a website, but we do know how to knit.

I’m going to dive right in and talk about my current project, which is the Rogue pullover available from Girl from Auntie.

My sister knit it as part of the Olympic knitting challenge; she enjoyed knitting it so much that I decided to knit one too.

I started it on Thursday, and even though I’ve been sick, I’ve managed to get to the point of dividing for the arms. Here is a photo of the front, which shows its cute little kangaroo pouch.

And here is a photograph of the side. Side shaping is all done through cabling.

I’m hoping to finish it by Saturday — I’ll keep you posted.

  1. Your pouch looks better than mine. I definitely should have just used her decrease method (i.e., p2tog). I “overthought” this one. I do think my changes to the hood and sleeve are improvements.

  2. Susan & Sally,
    How fun to join your blog.
    Over the years, I have enjoyed watching Susan’s projects unfold and paying homage at the State Fair.
    I also love to look at the picture of the two of you, it is usually on the mantle, when I come over for Rainey Night at the Movies or Firth Fest.
    I hear Sally has quite the Movie Night set up and would love to have movie night there sometime….I am not too shy to invite myself as you can tell.
    KNIT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Sally – love your new blog, especially the pictures of your projects. This sweater is just beautiful, and the color you choose is terrific. I’m afraid the advanced cables would be a bit over my head, but maybe one day!
