Loving the challenge of toe up socks - I’ve held the yarns both ways round and don’t appear to have a dominant side 🤷‍♀️

Hello my lovely MYAL knitters 🧶 I need to share a change of plan with you, and I want to be honest about why. It has been a difficult few days for me and I have been quite affected. Those of you who follow me on Instagram will very likely now what I am referring to. Right now, I am not in the right place to host a live celebration the way I planned. And I do not want that to take away from what this event was meant to be: a celebration of YOU and all the work you have done. For many of you, this was your first all-over colourwork sweater, your first steek, your first time trying something out of your comfort zone. And that deserves to be celebrated properly, not under a dark cloud. So here is what I would love you to do instead. Please reply to this thread with: ❤️ your favourite photo of your Rujuu Sweater, whether it is a WIP or FO. ✨ 3 words that describe your Rujuu knitting experience 🤔 One thing that surprised you (a challenge or a win) 💡 One thing you would do differently next time We will celebrate together here, on Skool, and I promise I will be cheering for each and every one of you. Thank you for your patience with me this week. I am so proud of what you have all made. 🤍

Think you can tell that I’m very pleased with my Rujuu sweater - just ends & blocking to do 🥳

Reading Zanette’s email this morning about unintentional motifs in her new pattern, the 7th pattern in the yoke meditation series, I wondered if anyone else had spotted the cars/buses in their Rujuu sweater/cardigan? I was sitting looking at mine on the back of the chair at right angles to where I was sitting and there they were! They aren’t as obvious in a photo but has anyone else seen them? 😂
