It’s done! Yay! Now it just needs to be blocked. I really enjoyed working this pattern! It was so different from most patterns I do, so that was a fun change. I did make some alterations to the pattern. I didn’t add the neckband as I liked the way the collar looked without it. I only worked the body for 8.5” from underarm so that I was more of a cropped top. And I only worked one row with MC for the sleeves after separation without joining in the round then bound off to have a small cap sleeve. I’m excited to see how it fits after blocking! https://www.ravelry.com/projects/sonyanoelle/refracta-sweater

I am loving the look of this as it progresses. This is my first time doing this kind of lifted increases and it took a bit to get the hang of it, but I really like it now. On to the short rows next!

Happy to continue this after completing my test knit. I’m still really enjoying seeing the different colours with the pattern. I don’t think I will manage to finish this by the end of the month, but just enjoying the process.

I made this pattern 4 times, 1st for myself in size 4 and other 3 in size 2 for a friends as a gift. During 1st try( it was my very 1st Zaneteknit pattern and my first lace pattern ever) I did a mistake and end up having V shaped dekolte, but I liked it a lot so I repeated that all 4 times, I did not do any decreases on arms, it took it forever (I tried to do both arms at the same time, but because of lace it is impossible... It was fun and I love to wear this cardigan! Videos on https://www.skool.com/zaneteknits were super helpful especially for 1st time making shoulder and understanding lace pattern, which is super easy and after some repeats you do not need chart any more. I might make a summer version some time! I really improved my technical skills making it 4 times in a row. cardigan#https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Uuuguntina/noura-cardigan#

Soooo....the weather got very warm and made working with the fuzzy yarn for my Lightfall less comfortable, so I started the Brooklyn Memories socks and that's been my go-to for the past 9 days. I had a lot of fun with this pattern, and was able to use up some of my stash yarn. I must say that I very much enjoy this particular toe-up construction with the bottom gusset and heel flap - the fit is quite comfortable and kept my interest throughout. Would knit again. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/LoveyMakesBread/brooklyn-memories-socks
