Finally finished!
Due to an eye operation, a new puppy and heat waves it took some more time but I am glad with the result. I used yarns from my stash: Schachenmayer Soft and Easy Lana Grossa Cammello Ula+Lia Amethyst Qing fibre Dashing Sassy Spash. The mkal was very clear written, only had 1 question on which Zaneta responded immediately. The videos also helped me through the process. It was fun to learn new techniques. Now gonna dive into a new adventure, the Daydream Lily!

That is beautiful. Mine is hibernating for the summer. It's my first project to resume as soon as summer is over.
Blazer sizing
I am excited to knit The Blazer but want to be sure I understand the sizing so it fits how I want it to. My bust(a) measures 37in and so with 4-6in ease I was looking for a chest measurement of 41-43in. Looking at the chart, I assumed a size 3 would be the correct choice. But my shoulders(b) measure 18in across to the point of the shoulder and 14in to the hollow at the end of my clavicle. Please advise what size you think best. This is my first attempt at a fitted garment so I am probably overthinking it!

I don't have it myself but I see that Zanete has recently updated the tutorial on that pattern. Have you seen it? Perhaps you'll get some guidance there.
Dreamweft Sweater Help
Help. (Deamweft Sweater...just completed last row of back shoulder increases) What would you recommend to get the correct stitch counts at this point without ripping back.... that might not look way obvious.... or make it wonky. I calculated stitch counts of the increase rows to be able to tell if I'm still on track. Increasing 8 stitches each repeat for the 7 repeats in the back I should have 88 stitches. I actually have only 84. It appears there are the correct number of increased lace 'holes'. The edge stitches seem fine. I don't find anything unraveling. I am really challenged in keeping my attention here. (Its not the pattern...it's my toddler brain) And I have ripped back so many times I've lost count... but... I really want this finished object. I have a long way to go and I'm willing to take it slow...but if I have to rip back again 💔 😪 I'm afraid I will have to give up.

Well... I am easily distracted and had to frog many times. I finally made the little row count and only focused on the project when I worked on it. I was golden... all of my repeat counts were correct until that last repeat. I couldn't see where I went wrong. That's why I reached out. I'm pretty sure I miss yarn overs. It's just me. That's why I reached out. My recommendation to you... (and myself 🤭) ... is to accept this will be a slow project that requires dedicated attention. I'm counting on it being a little easier after the increases. And also when I get to working in the round. 🤞 Good luck!

A Change of plans for the MYAL Virtual Fashion Show
Hello my lovely MYAL knitters 🧶 I need to share a change of plan with you, and I want to be honest about why. It has been a difficult few days for me and I have been quite affected. Those of you who follow me on Instagram will very likely now what I am referring to. Right now, I am not in the right place to host a live celebration the way I planned. And I do not want that to take away from what this event was meant to be: a celebration of YOU and all the work you have done. For many of you, this was your first all-over colourwork sweater, your first steek, your first time trying something out of your comfort zone. And that deserves to be celebrated properly, not under a dark cloud. So here is what I would love you to do instead. Please reply to this thread with: ❤️ your favourite photo of your Rujuu Sweater, whether it is a WIP or FO. ✨ 3 words that describe your Rujuu knitting experience 🤔 One thing that surprised you (a challenge or a win) 💡 One thing you would do differently next time We will celebrate together here, on Skool, and I promise I will be cheering for each and every one of you. Thank you for your patience with me this week. I am so proud of what you have all made. 🤍

She's still a wip... ✨️engaging.... suspense... adoration... 🤔 I didn't think... with ALL my stash... It would be so difficult to choose yarn. 💡I would steek. Originally I wanted to do the cardigan.. partly because I was excited to try to steek. After my stops and starts I was seeing other's progress and liked the Pullover in this design. Someone posted they were making their version larger and intended to line it, so it would actually be a jacket. I can't unsee that. What a great idea!
