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#

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

It’s done! Yay! Now it just needs to be blocked. I really enjoyed working this pattern! It was so different from most patterns I do, so that was a fun change. I did make some alterations to the pattern. I didn’t add the neckband as I liked the way the collar looked without it. I only worked the body for 8.5” from underarm so that I was more of a cropped top. And I only worked one row with MC for the sleeves after separation without joining in the round then bound off to have a small cap sleeve. I’m excited to see how it fits after blocking! https://www.ravelry.com/projects/sonyanoelle/refracta-sweater
