Finally finished!
Due to an eye operation, a new puppy and heat waves it took some more time but I am glad with the result. I used yarns from my stash: Schachenmayer Soft and Easy Lana Grossa Cammello Ula+Lia Amethyst Qing fibre Dashing Sassy Spash. The mkal was very clear written, only had 1 question on which Zaneta responded immediately. The videos also helped me through the process. It was fun to learn new techniques. Now gonna dive into a new adventure, the Daydream Lily!

Very pretty
Ghali sweater
I’m really enjoying knitting this sweater, started as quite a challenge with the long pattern repeats but have got used to it now. Sleeves are so much slower to knit, I’m using small circumference needles but seem to be constantly moving stitches round the cable - any tips? I’m at the top of the second sleeve and using Chiagoo shorties so can change length and needle tip size. What length is best?

@Shuna Marr I think I’ll try this as with magic loop my tension has been a bit variable, thanks
Bust Darts
Hello all! Have any of you tried adding bust darts to your knits? If so, do you have any tips or tricks on adding them to patterns you’re following? I hear about bust darts and how they can help tailor your knits, especially knitting in the round. Thank you!

Time for a sock knit!
A few years ago I decided to take a class at the fiber festival each year to give me something totally fun to look forward to. This year I did a class on stranded colorwork that was more of a discussion group on the technique. It was awesome. The instructor showed us her recent purchase which was a set of interchangeable needles that went down to a US size 00. Until then I'd only seen them down to a US size 4. So I put a set in my Amazon wish list and informed my husband that I 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 wanted them for my birthday. I might have implied that bad things would happen to the entire family if I didn't get them. I also put a couple of other knitting notions in my wish list, but the needle set was the big one. The little colored balls are rubbery point protectors. The set is from ChiaGoo and is their mini lace set that includes 4" tips in sizes 000, 00, 0, 1, and 1.5. It's called the mini set since their cables come in 3 sizes, mini, small, and large. They also have adaptors so that you can use the tips with the small join with their mini cables. I also quietly ordered a few other sizes (2, 2.5, and 3) to round out my tiny interchangeable needles as well as a couple of the cables with the small joins. Now I just have to decide on a pattern.

I love knitting socks, I use the addi mini sock needle & it works really well. I’ve knitted the auslias socks which worked out well 😊
Ghali Sweater charts
This sounds a really silly question, but where are the charts in the English version of the pattern please?

I hope you enjoy making it, I’m nearly at the bottom of the pattern only 19 rows before starting the single colour & really enjoying it 😊
