Hot off the needles tonight, I have finally finished knitting this one. Tomorrow I will sew in the last few ends and wet block the sweater. I love how the colours of the Bendigo Woollen Mills 4 ply Multicolour sock yarn in colourway Hydrangea Blooms suits the project. The main colour is Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 4 ply in Almond. After all the frogging (9 times) and attempts at Ladderback Jacquard floats I am really pleased About going back to twisting in my floats Fair Isle style.

It took me a while, but it is finally finished, blocked and photographed. It was a super enjoyable knit and a great (my first Zanete) pattern. Most certainly not the last. Knit all entirely from stash and left overs. Very pleased with the outcome 😊

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!

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?

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!
