I'm going away this week and will be away for the first 2 clues. I want to take the mystery KAL as one of my projects. Obviously I don't want to take my entire chosen stash. Could I possibly have some idea of yarn quantities required for size 4 to complete the first 2 clues PLEASE? TIA

A friend sent me this lovely video from a couple of years ago, and on this, Zanete's birthday, and also the beginning of a new year, it seemed appropriate to share. I hope that 2026 brings you all peace, joy and mending through the work of our hands! Opinion | Visible Mending - The New York Times https://share.google/G401IqHOkUXWbbniD

It has been some time since I did colorwork (CW), and I have not done a CW project where the gauge was terribly important. I would like to swatch with the yarns I have chosen for the MYAL. (1) Does anyone have a suggestion for a swatch pattern I might use to test my CW gauge? (2) Does anyone find they need to move up more than one standard needle size when doing CW, as compared to stockinette? Thank you! Have a fantastic day!

It’s very frustrating, I’ve been away from home since I signed up for the KAL I’ve been separated from my stash! I’m now back and I think I’m there. I need to do lots of swatching now to make sure I can get a consistent gauge. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone! So excited to join this group and the MYAL, my first. One question about using high contrast colors - I am anxious about the dark colors of Color C bleeding when I block with a very light Color A/D, especially as some of my yarns are made by smaller producers. Do you have special suggestions to avoid that? Still working to identify my colors, but anticipate high contrast no matter what I choose. Thank you!
