I'm finally blocking my Elza...she's so happy! It was truly a memorable knit, not without its trials. I'll never start out a colorwork sweater with just one skein, hoping to match it, or buy one from Ravelry or elsewhere. Even in the same dyelot, the skeins were sooooo different and I had to do major skein dissection to find similar color segues, especially on the second sleeve! BUt, perfection is overrated, and I'll post another photo when it's on me :) I've loved this whole zaneteknits experience. Thanks to all, and especially Zanete herself! xox

Finally got a picture with my Rujuu. I am so happy, thank you Zanete for this great experience.

Nearing the end, kind of. I am in love with my Elza sweater project and wanted to share my progress with you all. Knit on!

Hi ho 😊 how do you all hold your yarn during the colourwork? Are you knitting continental? I switch between having the yarn separately and picking it up every time and having both on one finger, if the floats are longer, because securing the floats is easier for me that way. However, I struggle a lot with the tension of the dominant yarn, when having both on the hand.
