This was fun 😄 not bad for a first sweater, mistakes and all ❤️

Finally finished. If and When I get rid of my belly, It will fit right. Loved this Kal. Never knitted a colorwork sweater before and it was a good learning event. Thanks to Zanete for all her hard work.

I am still working through my rujuu and wondered if anyone else is? I like to go a little off piste with patterns (I believe @Zanete Hussain does too!) and decided early on my cardigan was going to be hooded with a zip closure. I also then decided I wanted to fleece lined and have everything i need to finish. Using techniques I've learned before I centralised the pattern for the hood, starting part way through the chart, and stepped back 5sts each side to allow room for a ribbed edge. Would love to hear from anyone still knitting! 🤩 I still need to: 1. Finish hood ribbing 2. Sleeves 3. Sew in ends 4. Block 5. Pattern, cut and sew in fleece lining 6. Add zip and cover strip 7. Wear!

I love, love, love this sweater! The texture adds a nice touch to the pattern. I chose not to do the waist decreases because I have a rectangular shaped figure and wear clothing that doesn’t accentuate my lack of a waistline. 😊
