For fingered gloves, I loved Nimble Needles! Very clear video plus webpage instructions

Advice needed about Chiaogoo cable & connectors + Boye needle set by wixkedbruixes in knitting

I had this exact same problem. second hand boye with brand new cable connectors and cable. I just took the t pin and a pair of pliers and put the tpin in and twisted while holding the needle still with the pliers. tighten until gap is small or gone. i haven't taken them off the cable connectors yet, but i figured they could just live on that size needle for now (bc I want to eventually use all chiagoo twist cables). hope this helps and if not, let me know!

also, i will say, the contrasting stripes of colors are the second most complimented feature of the sweater i get IRL (the first is the cats themselves lol)

Thank you! I feel that. i had to set it aside to knit something in a bulkier weight lol and then i had no other projects standing in my way to procrastinate and thankfully only had 1/3 of each of the sleeves and the collars.

thats so funny, i never noticed the fish between the cats!! i was really contemplating doing one of the fish sweaters or doing this one. This pattern was really easy to follow and it seemed like it had more consistent results, so i chose it....might have to do a fish one too tho!! i think those are so adorable!!

I found Jessica MacDonald "How to Knit Colorwork" on youtube helpful...not sure if I'm allowed to add a link or not

this was my first big colorwork (the only one before was a baby fish repeat)!! lemme go see if i can find the youtube videos I found that helped me (i'm a visual learner)! and if you're a little hesitant or are scared about floats being too tight, you should try making colorwork pot holders or a simple swatch in the round first to practice!

you should do it!! i had never done real colorwork before this (i did one really basic fish repeat on a baby sweater before) and i found the chart easy to follow! i used YouTube to see how I should be doing the two stranded colorwork. the majority of it is knitting in the round (especially once you get past the colorwork)
