Help on Elza sweater!
I’m almost done with round one on the colorwork in section B. Round 2 I understand. My Confusion starts in the next direction where it says repeat rounds 1-2 a further 13 times(that’s for size 9), working up the chart and finishing after chart row 28. AT THE SAME TIME, shift the colorwork starting stitch for the sleeves and body sections back by 1 after each increase round. That’s where I’m confused. My guess what it means is that on each round one, instead of starting at stitch 26 in the chart, I will move back one stitch and start The colorwork at stitch 25 in the colorwork pattern, and then 24 on the next round one and so on. Is this correct?

That sounds right. Every time you do an increase, that pattern secrion has one more stitch in it, so it changes the starting stitch for that section so that the pattern continues to line up. So in your example, if the front section was starting on stitch 26, once you do an increase it now starts on stitch 25. Likewise if you do an increase at the end of the body section (I can't remember if the pattern does or not), if the last repeat before the raglan was on stitch 26, after the increase it would now also have a stitch 27. Did that make sense?

@Carrie Dio sorry, I've been away! What you wrote sounds good. I hope by now it's making more sense for you and feeling easier. I find it's one of those things that as you do it and see the motif taking shape it becomes more "natural" to know which stitch you need to start on in order to keep the motif lined up properly. I find it's SUPER helpful to put stitch markers at the beginning of each pattern/motif repeat. I use one color for my raglan (blue), another for my beginning of round (red -- I think of it as my "stop, check everything was right that round and check my pattern for changes" warning color), and a different color again (white) to mark the beginning of each pattern/motif repeat. This is especially helpful when having to shift starting stitch because I know for sure I got it right by the time I hit that first white marker and can quickly and easily fix it if I didn't!

Sad
After watching a couple of videos I think I don't know anything about knitting 😔 and after over 60 years of knitting I'm now a beginner again

@Heather Mcfarquhar I can appreciate what you're feeling! I've only been knitting for just over 40 years, but I often feel the same way. There's so much more to knitting than what I knew all along. But the best part is it's now all so much more accessible with YouTube videos etc. I just pick and choose what I want to learn and what I want to consider "cool, but not for me".

Help !
I need help ! I would like to start the celestia top with an off white MC but I just can’t decide on the CC : rose/red, blue or green?

I love that teal-green you have. It would look stunning.

Yoke meditation and starry dawn combo
Sharing my most recent knit. I decided to knit the yoke meditation #4 but wanted the general shape of the Starry Dawn so I combined the patterns. I didn’t have enough coloured contrast to do the transition so I just reversed the yoke pattern at the half way point and used the five contrast colours to add a bit of detail on the cuffs and bottom. I’ve just enough wool left for a matching hat. This is my full ravelry pattern. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Docmarr/yoke-meditation-series-4

@Zia Ísaksdóttir I use one color of stitch markers to indicate my pattern repeats and a different colour stitch marker right before each of my ladderback jacquard stitches for exactly that reason! This way I never miss one. It is also helpful that most of Zanete's patterns that use it have it marked right on the chart.

Celestia complete!
I really wanted to finish this and wear it to my daughter's post secondary grad. I snuck in under the wire with 40 hours to spare! I feel in love with the bind off Zanette shows in a video for one of her upcoming patterns so decided to use it on this one. Quite happy with the results. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Kynn/celestia-top

Learned to knit as a child. There aren't enough hours in the day for all the projects I'd like to make.
