Happy to continue this after completing my test knit. I’m still really enjoying seeing the different colours with the pattern. I don’t think I will manage to finish this by the end of the month, but just enjoying the process.

The ZKAL inspired me to redo the bottom half of my Refracta top as I made it too long and it was too flowy which meant I wasn’t wearing it. I frogged the bottom half, added decreases and then rel it a bottom border and much happier with the result. Before and after 😃

Split for the sleeves - so satisfying! It’s so lovely to see the pattern developing with the Ombré yarn and I’m eagerly knitting to watch the progress 🥰

So I don’t think I have a particularly tight or loose tension and usually get gauge or within 1-2 stitches; so I know how to calculate and knit an alternative size if needed, BUT I have tried a variety of needle sizes and even yarn but I don’t come anywhere close to the right gauge for the Ailis sweater: 26st x 34 rows with 4-ply yarn This is my gauge: 4-ply 3mm: 32st x 38r 3.5mm: 31st x 36r 4mm: 30st x 32 r Sport 3mm: 30st x 36r 3.5mm 28st x 32r 4 mm: 26st x 28r See photos of my test swatches washed and blocked. I also measured a colourwork sweater worked in the round with 4-ply yarn and stitch gauge is the same; although row gauge a bit different. What do I do?

So excited to be joining in by knitting the Elza sweater.
