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. 🤍

My #rujuu... Zipped, fleece lined and hooded! This was a true labour of love which took patience, trust in myself to go off track and a lot of new techniques learned! My first ever steek Hand sewing.... a lot! Going off piste to do the hood whilst keeping in pattern Adjusting sizing to accommodate lining Using 7 different threads of various gauges and trying to get them to match Thank you so much @Zanete Hussain for the incredible pattern and the #myal 🥰🥰

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.

Finish up my rujuu. I just need to add a few more rows and work on the collar cuffs and bottom. I still can’t decided on my color yet. That’s why I’ve waited so long.
