I also finished my cardigan. It was really fun to knit Rujuu. I've never cut steek before and I was really scared, but I did it and I'm happy.

Just before I started this KAL, I finished the Ghalisweater, so I can't cheat and give it to finish the needlework. So I started a new project that I once planned to do - Amber Blossoms. The contrast color chosen does not resemble amber, but amethys, so I think I will change the name of the pattern 😜 I am happy to be looking back at the work of other knitting machines and knitting with you🥳 Sorry for the not fully understandable text, I translate by translator 🫣 EDT: My work is progressing

Hello my lovely MYAL knitters 🧶 I need to share a change of plan with you, and I want to be honest about why. It has been a difficult few days for me and I have been quite affected. Those of you who follow me on Instagram will very likely now what I am referring to. Right now, I am not in the right place to host a live celebration the way I planned. And I do not want that to take away from what this event was meant to be: a celebration of YOU and all the work you have done. For many of you, this was your first all-over colourwork sweater, your first steek, your first time trying something out of your comfort zone. And that deserves to be celebrated properly, not under a dark cloud. So here is what I would love you to do instead. Please reply to this thread with: ❤️ your favourite photo of your Rujuu Sweater, whether it is a WIP or FO. ✨ 3 words that describe your Rujuu knitting experience 🤔 One thing that surprised you (a challenge or a win) 💡 One thing you would do differently next time We will celebrate together here, on Skool, and I promise I will be cheering for each and every one of you. Thank you for your patience with me this week. I am so proud of what you have all made. 🤍

It follows the same idea as the previous ones in the series: a colourwork yoke that runs well past the sleeve separation, so you have plenty of time to get into the rhythm before things get easier. This one has a more relaxed, oversized fit and is worked at a sport weight gauge. A great transitional weather knit. 🤩 There is a double-knit ridge on the neckband and a fun decrease detail near the cuffs. The pattern also includes chart options for both lighter and darker main colours. And if you look closely at the colourwork while wearing it, some of the motif fragments look like little piglet faces. 🐷 Completely unintentional, but adds character 😁 There is a full construction deep dive on YouTube if you want to go through the build before casting on. You can make use of the intro period discount by applying code YMS07 at checkout for 20% off, valid until 26th April, end of day UK time.
