Just a post to encourage myself and others who are still working on their Rujuu. I was close to finishing the body... But I did go for a larger size in the first clue and the shoulder part looked great and would be good for my bigger upper arm. But after splitting for the sleeves it seemed the body was just too large. I didn't believe it and kept going. And his weekend tried it on again and realized I cant go on like this. So on Sunday I ripped back to the splitting of the sleeves and cast on much fewer stitches under arm. So now every round is 22 stitches smaller and fits so much better. So now again trying to knit the body. So everyone else still working on theirs. Lets keep each other motivated and keep posting updates.

I’m so excited that for most of you, this will be your first steek! Eek! I love how brave you all are, and I really hope your trust in me pays off. The best part is, we've got a bunch of experienced steekers who can help us through this with moral support! But we don't need to worry about all that yet. Today we focus on the first clue. It's been a bit of a wait but it's officially out! If you have already purchased the pattern, check your inbox for a notification about the pattern update, then refresh your Ravelry library to download the newly added Clue 1 file. If not, you can still grab it here. There’s also a few tutorials waiting for you here on Skool! Just head over to the Classroom tab and find the Rujuu course. Let the fun begin! I can’t wait to see all your amazing projects! P.S. A little note on spoilers! To keep things simple and fun for everyone this year, we won't be using spoiler photo covers or separate clue threads. This means you'll likely see WIP photos out in the open as each clue is released. If you're starting a bit later and want to keep the surprise, it might be best to hop back on here only when you're ready to see the images.

I started yesterday on my cardigan. I loved the colors but now I’m not sure of the contrast in enough. I attached my progress photo and the yarn choices I have. #rujuusweater #myal3

...is this the right place to post progress? I've been working on the MYAL for a few weeks and made it through clue 2 today, starting clue 3. I did some swatching of the color pallette, but it's turning out better than I thought! Puppy has been "helping" me with my knitting as I go along ☺️😅

Will have to put on hold for a while, dont want to bring on vacation (no enough luggage space.)
