If you’ve been spending time on here lately, you’ve probably seen some of the stunning colour combos for the Rujuu Sweater. If you’re feeling inspired and want to play with your favourite pairings without the mystery, I have just released a new pattern! Meet the Elza Sweater. It’s my latest top-down raglan, inspired by another traditional Latvian mitten motif. The pattern is super intuitive with mostly short floats, making it a very meditative knit. You can get the pattern now on Ravelry and Etsy. Use the code ELZA20 to get 20% off through February 8th. (Heads up, newsletter subscribers: check your inbox for an even better exclusive code!) If you run into any issues with the code, please reach out before you finish checking out, as I can't apply discounts once the transaction is complete. Happy knitting!

The blue is my cardigan, the red is the pullover.

Forgive me if this is redundant, I thought I posted this but it doesn't seem to have worked. So, like many of us, I obsessively knitted up clue 2 already. It's reminding me of a vintage carpet, in a good way. My doubt is in the Clue 2 colorwork section. I've noticed in other knitter's photos that the design really pops when cA is light and cC is dark. My colorway is the opposite and I'm having trouble seeing the design. Also, my cC is Noro Silk Garden Solo which is a thick/thin single. While the stitch definition is fine, it does not lend itself to crisp edges. I'm wondering if I should frog it and redo Clue 2 in a different yarn. I feel it has a certain aesthetic that isn't all bad but I can't see it objectively right now. Feedback and troubleshooting is welcome.

The colors are growing in me but feeling it is a little busy
