My third Zanete sweater! It’s been such a fun adventure in color🌈

I’m really enjoying knitting this sweater, started as quite a challenge with the long pattern repeats but have got used to it now. Sleeves are so much slower to knit, I’m using small circumference needles but seem to be constantly moving stitches round the cable - any tips? I’m at the top of the second sleeve and using Chiagoo shorties so can change length and needle tip size. What length is best?

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.
