In order to delay the scary cutting of the steek on the Barberry Sweater (the first Zanete pattern purchased) I loaded needles with the VKL Memories Socks. I was intrigued by the gusset design and was excited to learn about the construction. Easy to follow instruction made this a fun project. The limited stretch of the colorwork makes them a tad challenging to put on. Once on, the fit is very comfy. I used Hobbii Silly Sock yarn paired with a solid also from Hobbii. I will up the needle size on the next pair. 2.25 mm used for these. Now the steek is the next item on the agenda.

Guess what? In an unexpected turn, our Annual Zanete Knits Knitalong (ZKAL25) is on! We took our time getting started this year because, as you know we have just wrapped up the MYAL! But if you don't want the fun to end, this is the perfect way to keep it up! And if your Do Ewe Yoke No.2 is still on the needles, bring it along.🥰 .

Another Zaneteproject read. Lovely Rhubarb and Custard Socks. A gift for my sister. Yarn Filcolana Arwetta which were a little too thin so I had to make a larger size.

My second Do ewe yoke no 2 is ready and I’m superhappy. This will be a favorite! 🤩
