Ghali sweater
I’m really enjoying knitting this sweater, started as quite a challenge with the long pattern repeats but have got used to it now. Sleeves are so much slower to knit, I’m using small circumference needles but seem to be constantly moving stitches round the cable - any tips? I’m at the top of the second sleeve and using Chiagoo shorties so can change length and needle tip size. What length is best?

Magic circle is the only way I can keep my sanity on sleeves or dpns if I’m desperate but my dpns aren’t great So usually just the long cables and magic circle for me. I’ve seen others say it’s even easier if you knit the sleeves before the body so there’s less bulk to deal with on the sweater. I always remember this as I’m dealing with the bulk of the body I’ve just knit haha.

Finally finished
Not my best work. I decided it was a bit too busy a pattern for me so made the middle solid. The tension there was a bit different. I also decided not to add buttons to the front so no button holes. It was fun and will be a very warm sweater this winter to cuddle in. I think I would like to try it with a thinner yarn next time.

I’ve deeply pondered pain stockinette amongst stranded colourwork patterns. I feel that if the majority of the project is stranded with floats, it would be reasonable to do the same with the single colour if you have two balls of it, just using a basic combo like “[k3 mc, k3 cc] rep to end “. You wouldn’t see it but the tension and thickness of the garment would remain the same as the rest of the garment.

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?

Celestia 😊
Happy to have finally finished my Celestia Top, I made it a bit longer as I absolutely wanted to have some of the dark red of my color changing yarn in it. I love it 🥰

I love it. Hopefully we can see a photo of you wearing it. I haven’t started my celestia top, and have had it for so long! Hopefully this will be the year!

Children of Gaza pullover
I am starting this sweater and will learn Ladderback Jacquard along with it. I’m a little apprehensive about that! Anyone who can offer suggestions please do!

Zanete has a good tutorial about lbj. There are also others who do their lbj differently. I start mine differently and I knit instead of purl them. It’s very versatile but offers much more movement in the colourwork to prevent bunching up. You can also choose where to place your lbj stitches. The big secret is to make sure the yarn you’re not using for the lbj is always to the front and that you don’t accidentally knit your lbj into your work.
