Hi Wendy, I’ve used them to make socks a few years ago, they’ve been washed lots of times & worn well. It’s more rustic than other sock yarns I’ve used. I’m using it to make a cowl for my granddaughter at the moment

@Wendy Biccler I think so as it’s more sturdy than other superwash yarns I’ve used for socks such as West Yorkshire spinners sock / yarnsmiths merino sock - I only hand wash my yarn.
Raglan construction
I’m making the gorgeous Ghali sweater in a size to for my upper bust. Would it work to add extra stitches under the arms for the front to fit the bigger bust (F) Thinking to increase enough to make the front in the next size up then decrease down afterwards. Would this work? @Zanete Hussain @Liene Kalniņa

You’re right I think it would get wonky if I do too much & I hope that because it has lots of ease I won’t need to do much. So far I have increased on the raglan on the front only on round 2, section B for last few rows so gained 4 st. I’m now on section C 🥳 I plan to try it on as soon as I get to the sleeve division and see what the fit looks like. I love it

I’ve had such fun joining this KAL Congratulations to all the Winners 🥳
Advice please Caeli
Well I’ve started and made a mistake … I’m on holiday and just involved in my opaque yarn and have ended up doing all of my section A in opaque …. However, my question is re bust darts has anyone tried it or got advice for this pattern… I do have rather large boobies 32HH and I’m tall. The Ruuju was the first I knitted with the alterations as suggested .. in that I knitted a size 3 and extended the yoke and it fits beautifully. Whereas the Thuraya I knit in a 4 or 5 ( can’t remember) and it’s a bit big across the shoulders etc. Still not finished it as I had the help of my kitten and came away with about 6 rows short of the contrast ….
Advice please Caeli

I have the same issue & I’d love to hear any advice too! I’m currently doing the Ghali sweater 🤔
Caeli Sweater
I am finally finishing the Rujuu sweater and have learned a lot mostly to trust the pattern directions and to read them all the way carefully before starting. I made many mistakes and messed up the color order but still love the sweater and my daughter still very much wants it so hey!! Happy ending!! I am about to cast on the Ghali sweater for me because… come on, it is stunning!! My youngest (22 years old) loves the Caeli sweater (the one I have been coveting since it came out) but wants it to be short sleeves. Ordinarily I would wing it, but I love this so much I don’t want to screw it up. Any suggestions on where to stop or if you think it just shouldn’t be done? She was thinking just below the honeycomb section before the last set of arrows? I see others have done it in a short sleeve but wanted your opinion or best tips. Thanks much for the beautiful work you do and inspiring us all! Vicki
