Hey everyone, I feel like I owe you an apology for being so quiet on here. I've barely posted or replied since the end of the last KAL, and there's a good reason for that. 🤩 We've been building something new. As much as I've enjoyed running KALs in this community, it hasn't been without challenges. The amount of scammers and spammers we've had to deal with has been exhausting, and Skool was not really built with knitters in mind. So when Asim joined Zanete Knits in April, we agreed that we would build something from scratch: A platform designed specifically for knitters, where the whole KAL experience just works better. 🎉 Today we're launching it, and the first event is Socktober 2026: a month of knitting socks together, running 1 to 31 October. To take part, you pick any Zanete Knits sock pattern, and post your progress alongside other knitters. It's completely free to join, I'll be in the Room every day, and there are prizes for finished projects including gift cards and courses. 🎁 If you're a sock knitter, I'd love to see you there. 🙏 Oh, and there’s also a special offer on all sock patterns to kick that off - with code SOCKTOBER26, get 10% off any of the patterns in my sock collection. P.S. We'll also be running the next year’s Mystery Yokealong on the new platform, so Socktober could be a great way to get familiar with the space before that kicks off.

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#

During the MKAL I was able to finish my Cardigan but not the Pullover for my daughter. I just need to block it and it is done. What a sense of accomplishment.

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 ….
