Hi everyone, I’d love to get your thoughts on something before I continue knitting. I’ve just started Clue 2 and already in the first row I discovered I had one stitch too many. I corrected that, but now that I’m a bit further along, I can see that the pattern of Clue 2 doesn’t line up perfectly with the pattern from Clue 1. There’s basically one stitch offset. If I gently stretch the fabric, the motifs line up a bit better, but technically they’re still not completely symmetrical. It’s right at the neckline. What would you do in this situation? – Frog it now while it’s still early? – Or accept it, block it nicely, and trust that no one will notice? I’ve stopped knitting for the moment because I’m really curious what you’d advise. Thanks so much in advance!

What do you think, can I change colours A en C after clue 1? Starting with clue 2?

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!

Kay..... Im picking a Dark Background, and I am Confused as to Whether or Not Color A or Color C is the Main Background Color. Based on the Yardage, I want to Assume that Color C is In Fact the Back Ground Color for the Majority of the Sweater.... Can I assume this is Correct??? Since there is a Large Yardage on Colir C? Please Enlighten Me! 🤣🙏🏻

I *think* I like the colours, though I would like to see them reversed - A being the main and C the contrast. Also I'm not a huge fan of the design right now, all the little boxes and circles 🤔 I expected something... I don't know, a little more intricate perhaps? Maybe it's because of the gauge. The pattern clue was well written, I'm enjoying the process, and I'm very curious about where this journey will take us 😊 So far I'm quite pleased with my first stranded sweater! (though I've started another one simultaneously 😁) I appreciate the clue #1 being relatively short, I managed to knit it during the weekend, so I don't have to worry about falling behind after a week of full-time work. Knitting size 6 - my gauge swatch was 1 stitch off, so I'm hoping the sweater will be smaller than given measurements. Anyway, I'd rather have a huge oversized sweater than a tight one, so hopefully it will be fine. Yarns: Drops Air in dusty pink, Rosarios Bio-wool in deep teal, and the last bit of Cool Wool Big Color that happened to be this warm maroon/brown.
