That Lene sweater just moved near the top of my to-do list. I love a more modern style but I'd never seen it before, so I'm thrilled you brought it forward! I'm planning to do the terracotta sweater instead of the porcelain sweater by leknit -- if your jam is warm coppery/caramel-y colours + off-white-ish, you might enjoy staring at the pretty pictures there too.
I looooveee knitting colorwork. It was a big reason why I wanted to start knitting. I don't know what my "secrets" are because I don't know what's not to like about it hehe I started with colorwork home decor specifically "fancy hen" to practice colorwork without having to worry about the fit. and I do recommend doing a pillow or an ornament or something small to just enjoy the beauty and not worry about if it fits or not. Just for funsies
These are all so pretty, that Porcelain Sweater is on my list, and now the Smilgas Cardigan too, thank you! I'm definitely a product knitter when it comes to colourwork, the process is not enjoyable, but I'll power through for that FO.
Well, I used to say I'd never knit a colorwork and didn't like the look of them when I first started knitting but lately, i'm spending time on Ravelry looking through colorwork designs and even created a dream bundle there. Ive been crocheting a lot longer and just made my first colorwork bag (the Corfu bag) which will be a gift. After watching your video I went and checked out Solvana's knitwear page on Ravelry and found she had Josephine Mitts so I purchased those to practice and even see if I'm able to follow her style of writing patterns before purchasing the sweater pattern which I really really love and want to make exactly in red as she has.

Love colour-work in all forms but start small so that you can work on getting your tensions right. Good luck and thanks for the sweater suggestions.
