Query about arm shaping
Can anyone help explain how to do this armhole shaping? I am working flat, start shaping with 92 stitches. I am probably overthinking it but how do I shape both sides if I am only casting off on right side of work? 🤯 Cast off stitches in each side (cast off stitches at the beginningof the row) as follows:Cast off 2 stitches on every other row 1-2-2-2-2-2 times, then cast off 1 stitch on every other row1-1-1-3-3-5 times and finally 1 stitch every 4th row 4-5-5-6-5-5 times = 68-72 (I am doing 2nd size) Thank you in advance

If you love it, I’d suggest reducing the 20 stitches in the fashion you’re most comfortable doing and make sure you do the same on the other sleeve. I wouldn’t cast off using the selvage stitch, I would k1 then do an ssk instead, which will prevent it from staggering. But that’s up to you. As long as you get to your desired end count.

You were so sensible knitting the sleeves first! That way you will be finished by the time you are ready to give up due to all the boring stockinette stitch of the body. I’m groaning every day on a sweater I’m currently knitting in this stage. And I know I have sleeves to go 🥵. Btw, it looks so lovely. Beautiful colours

@Ewa Sowa oh that’s actually smart. Good thinking.
Finally blocked!
I started this when Clue 3 came out, and procrastinated for three weeks with blocking but it is done. It is an unholy mix of wool and alpaca woolen, crepe twist and superwash spun yarns in various cominations of lace, sock, sport, dk and worsted weights. Works well enough, 100% from stash…

It’s great and it blocked fantastically given the fibre mixes! 😍

@Noor Van Putte better to frog and redo so you can love the finished project more. 💝

@Noor Van Putte I don’t know if this might help, but I actually start my ladder backs with a backwards loop cast on. That way it doesn’t distort the fabric. Also, instead of purling them, I knit them, that way you can’t even see them on the back, and they are much quicker to do. See if this helps.

Started the Noura cardigan late night on the 7th. I have just finished Section D of the pattern. This one has challenged my focus. Had to tink back a few times to make sure the lace stitches are lined up properly when increasing in the various parts. So far so good.
