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?

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.

Hot off the needles tonight, I have finally finished knitting this one. Tomorrow I will sew in the last few ends and wet block the sweater. I love how the colours of the Bendigo Woollen Mills 4 ply Multicolour sock yarn in colourway Hydrangea Blooms suits the project. The main colour is Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 4 ply in Almond. After all the frogging (9 times) and attempts at Ladderback Jacquard floats I am really pleased About going back to twisting in my floats Fair Isle style.

Finished today with EFA yarn. Not sure which blend cause bought along time ago and didn’t have a label on. Interesting construction Jury out on toe up socks. Use to cuff down. Thought the cuff was fun to do. Made mistakes on my part but learned a lot Did like the heel construction.

I bought this patter some time ago, but cannot decide for the yarn. Then Zanete created post with 3 different versions of this pattern and I realized that I have a yarn which I love, but did not know for what to use it. Now I am thinking that I will do another one and I will extend it to dress :)
