Iā€™ve been curious about this technique for a while now. Youā€™ve inspired me to download her mini-Ziggurat to give it a test run!

Hi there - and everyone else who commented on my struggles with the Ziggurat method. Sorry Iā€™ve been a bit quiet for the past week. I didnā€™t give up and I sorted out my weird needle pointing the wrong way problem (Iā€™d made the loop in the cable incorrectly). Iā€™ve encountered other difficulties since but am sticking at it and have now got to shaping the tops of the sleeves and increasing the neck line - her methods arenā€™t the easiest but I have to say that itā€™s very satisfying - a bit like sculpting with knitting. Iā€™ll post a picture when Iā€™m a bit further on!

Good for you for persisting with this very fascinating knit. I actually think the name is a bit off-putting but it sounds like you have it conquered.

YAY!!! I was unable to help and I wanted to. You inspired me. I figured out how to start a top down sweater with set in sleeves without cutting the yarn on one shoulder. I think we both deserve to feel good about what weā€™ve accomplished. Youā€™re much braver than I so you should feel extra good about yours.
