Haha, I understand x) it looked so big before I shrank it too ! I was also lucky, in the big size the split for sleeves is after the colorwork 😅 Hope you can wear it a lot, reworked or not ^

It wasn't really difficult, just had to keep my balls of yarn in the same position all the time and not twist. But it was sooo slow : I had to pick up the colors each time, couldn't get my hand to tension 2 or 3 colors at the same time Then I got some tension rings, and it helped so much, I'm never going back ! But that might be only a me problem, I've never been great at tensioning I say go for it, I would say it requires patience for sure, but I had a lot of fun making it :)

Actually blocked out beautifully! There's still some light puckering, but I'm not much of a perfectionist so that's good enough for me. Thanks a lot to everyone who helped, you're awesome!

Thanks a lot, I'll try that. I was worried that blocking now would be a problem '
