It's amazing to see your projects become more and more beautiful with every clue! Right now here on Skool, we have 400 projects finished with Clue 1, 350 with Clue 2, and over 200 progress photos posted for Clue 3! I especially love seeing the photos of you modelling your work with proud smiles, that always makes my day! ❤️ Before we move on to Clue 4, I wanted to share a fun little thing I noticed yesterday. I've been keeping a note of everyone making two versions (there are 20 of you so far!), and I realized that two of those people have the same name. What a one-in-a-million coincidence! Shoutout to @Susan Evans and @Susan Evans 🥂 Clue 4 is here, and it comes with a fun new texture! I hope you’ll love adding this little stitch pattern to your projects as much as I did. I’ve already used it in a few of my recent designs, so of course, I had to include it in this one too. 😅 If you already have the pattern, check your inbox for the update or refresh your Ravelry library to download the Clue 4 file. If you haven’t joined yet but would like to, you can get the pattern here. I’ve also added some new tutorials for Clue 4 in the Rujuu course. Just head to the Classroom tab to check them out! Bring on the stunning photos and let me know if you’re going straight or shaped!! 🤩

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!

I have to admit, seeing all your gorgeous WIPs throughout last week was a total emotional rollercoaster! It’s amazing to see over 340 projects through Clue 1, 240 of those have crushed Clue 2, and the number of people making two versions went up to 14! Every single one is so unique, I could spend hours scrolling through Skool every day, it’s a real treat just taking them all in. 😍 But Clue 3 is finally here, and it’s all about trying it and making sure it fits. I’m also really looking forward to seeing how many of you will choose to put your own spin on the neckband. I've seen a few of you have already jumped ahead because you just couldn't wait (totally get it! 😅) If you’ve already got the pattern, keep an eye on your inbox for the update or just refresh your Ravelry library to grab the Clue 3 file. Still want to join? You can grab the pattern here. I’ve also uploaded some fresh tutorials for this clue in the Rujuu course here in the Classroom tab. I can’t wait to see those smiling faces in the modelled shots!

Very chuffed to be interviewed by the wonderfullly amazing Fruity Knitting podcast 🤩 It's definitely one of my favourite knitting channels on YouTube as it's always packed with so much value and inspiration, and I couldn't be more honoured. In case you'd like to hear a bit more of what goes on behind the scenes at Zanete Knits, here's the episode to watch!

Evening everyone. I’ve had a couple of people pestering me about ‘do I want a website’ and ‘do you want to sell your ‘art’’ that kind of thing. I know you can block these people but did you know you can make your account private so they can’t find you or know that you’ve been online recently, I assume anyway. I hope nobody else is being hounded by this kind of thing. Switch on ‘hide from search engines’ in settings.
