It took me two weeks for the sleeves, but it is done. Not blocked yet, but I couldn’t wait to show the finished product. It was an enjoyable experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone.

The pattern for the Ghali Sweater is officially launched! This design, in collaboration with Artfil Yarns, is a seamless, top-down sweater featuring raglan construction and continuous stranded colourwork. A massive thank you to my incredible team of test knitters! Their hard work allows you to see how the sweater fits on a wide range of body shapes, with varying degrees of ease, and in different yarn combinations. I've also uploaded an in-depth YouTube video that talks you through the sweater's construction and all the techniques involved.
