I'm a bit behind, but have finally completed Clue 5 and the body of the cardigan It doesn't have the positive ease given in the pattern and I think that's because my stocking stitch, that I used for my test gauge, is much looser than my colourwork! So I'm not happy with the fit but I guess when it is a cardigan I can just wear it unbuttoned and hope that will be ok 🤞🏻

I made this pattern 4 times, 1st for myself in size 4 and other 3 in size 2 for a friends as a gift. During 1st try( it was my very 1st Zaneteknit pattern and my first lace pattern ever) I did a mistake and end up having V shaped dekolte, but I liked it a lot so I repeated that all 4 times, I did not do any decreases on arms, it took it forever (I tried to do both arms at the same time, but because of lace it is impossible... It was fun and I love to wear this cardigan! Videos on https://www.skool.com/zaneteknits were super helpful especially for 1st time making shoulder and understanding lace pattern, which is super easy and after some repeats you do not need chart any more. I might make a summer version some time! I really improved my technical skills making it 4 times in a row. cardigan#https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Uuuguntina/noura-cardigan#

Well I’ve started and made a mistake … I’m on holiday and just involved in my opaque yarn and have ended up doing all of my section A in opaque …. However, my question is re bust darts has anyone tried it or got advice for this pattern… I do have rather large boobies 32HH and I’m tall. The Ruuju was the first I knitted with the alterations as suggested .. in that I knitted a size 3 and extended the yoke and it fits beautifully. Whereas the Thuraya I knit in a 4 or 5 ( can’t remember) and it’s a bit big across the shoulders etc. Still not finished it as I had the help of my kitten and came away with about 6 rows short of the contrast ….

I am finally finishing the Rujuu sweater and have learned a lot mostly to trust the pattern directions and to read them all the way carefully before starting. I made many mistakes and messed up the color order but still love the sweater and my daughter still very much wants it so hey!! Happy ending!! I am about to cast on the Ghali sweater for me because… come on, it is stunning!! My youngest (22 years old) loves the Caeli sweater (the one I have been coveting since it came out) but wants it to be short sleeves. Ordinarily I would wing it, but I love this so much I don’t want to screw it up. Any suggestions on where to stop or if you think it just shouldn’t be done? She was thinking just below the honeycomb section before the last set of arrows? I see others have done it in a short sleeve but wanted your opinion or best tips. Thanks much for the beautiful work you do and inspiring us all! Vicki
