I finally took finished object photos of my Rujuu cardigan. I can’t say enough good things about this project. I used 750g of very old stash and made a beautiful sweater I’ll wear for a very long time to come. I never in a million years would have put these together on my own. I’m so thankful to Zanete for encouraging us to use stash in a creative way.

First, I want to apologise for the sleeves landing all in one week. Two sleeves in a single clue was a lot to ask, I know. At the same time, for many of you that was the final clue, so I hope there was no real pressure attached to it. From here on, there is no pressure at all. I just hope you will all complete your sweaters and wear them proudly. 🤩 And if you are doing the cardigan option and still working on the sleeves, I'm sure you will appreciate a chance to take a little break to go through the steeking experience! So exciting to see the cardigans opening soon! 🫣 New tutorials for this clue are waiting for you in the Rujuu course under the Classroom tab. If you already have the pattern, check your inbox for the update notification or refresh your Ravelry library to download the Final file. Or if you’re just seeing this for the first time, you can get the complete pattern here. And a reminder: the Virtual Fashion Show is on April 19th at 8pm London time, on Zoom and streamed on YouTube. Finished or not, everyone who participated in the knit along is welcome. More details coming soon. I've added the Clue 6 collages here, the finished sweaters are just so beautiful. Seeing them all side by side is so rewarding and inspiring! THANK YOU!!! ❤️ And because I'm so sad the mystery is over 😭, I'd love to hear from you about your future plans in this regard:

I’m so excited for this ribbon! Since the pattern is inspired by Latvian designs, I wanted to keep the meaning. I found this adorable ribbon with hedgehogs! It matches my cardigan perfectly 😍 I learned in Latvian culture, the hedgehog represents a quiet, strategic resilience. It symbolizes "endurance without hardness"—a strength that is persistent and determined but does not need to be loud or imposing.

Before we get into it, I want to take a moment to appreciate what's been happening in this community. Over 450 projects shared, and more than 100 finished Clue 5s already in my feed. That is quite unbelievable! 🫣 What I've been particularly enjoying is seeing the creative spins you're putting on this sweater. The body finishes, the hems, the rearranged chart motifs! They make each sweater its own thing and I absolutely love that! Keep sharing them.❤️ Now, if you chose the pullover option, Clue 6 is your last clue😭. But that also means, there is no rush from here, work at your own pace and enjoy the sleeves. If you chose the cardigan option, you will undoubtedly notice what's still missing and that will be coming in Clue 7, so the mystery isn't quite over for you yet.🤩 New tutorials for this clue are also waiting for you in the Rujuu course under the Classroom tab. If you already have the pattern, check your inbox for the update notification or refresh your Ravelry library to download the Clue 6 file. If you haven’t joined yet, you can get the pattern here. ❗One more thing: mark your calendars for the Virtual Fashion Show on April 19th at 8pm London, UK time. Everyone who has participated in the knit along is welcome to join us on Zoom, which will also be streamed on YouTube. Finished sweater or not, I would love to see you there. More details to follow.

You’ve probably guessed what this clue is about since there isn’t much left to do. 🫣 It might not feel as exciting as the earlier clues, and for some of you, it might even mean there’s not much to work on—especially if your row gauge was on the longer side. If that’s the case, think of this as a little breather before the big finale. 🙂 But if you’re doing the longer version (like I did!) or your row gauge is tighter, you’ll have plenty of knitting to keep you busy until the next clue comes out. 🧶 Right now, over 420 projects have made it past Clue 1 on Skool, with new people still joining in! Plus, 175 have already finished Clue 4, and lots of you sharing your progress with big smiles, and honestly, nothing makes me happier! If you’ve already got the pattern, check your inbox or refresh your Ravelry library to grab the Clue 5 file. If you haven’t joined yet, you can get the pattern here. No new tutorials this time! For those who had issues with playing the videos recently, I hope that’s sorted now. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get much help from Loom support, but if you’re still having trouble, shoot me a DM with your device, OS version, browser (and version), and your general location (just the town is fine). 🙏 Alright, let’s get knitting! 💪
