I did it. Whew! Now it’s blocking, and once dry, I’ll add the ribbons and buttons. Love it!

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. 🤍

I changed up the last slip stitch section since I didn't want to repeat either of the first 2 stitch patterns. I also bound off with my color B. This one was fun! A challenge but I learned a lot.

I'm a bit behind, but have finally completed Clue 5 and the body of the cardigan It doesn't have the positive ease given in the pattern and I think that's because my stocking stitch, that I used for my test gauge, is much looser than my colourwork! So I'm not happy with the fit but I guess when it is a cardigan I can just wear it unbuttoned and hope that will be ok 🤞🏻

Just a post to encourage myself and others who are still working on their Rujuu. I was close to finishing the body... But I did go for a larger size in the first clue and the shoulder part looked great and would be good for my bigger upper arm. But after splitting for the sleeves it seemed the body was just too large. I didn't believe it and kept going. And his weekend tried it on again and realized I cant go on like this. So on Sunday I ripped back to the splitting of the sleeves and cast on much fewer stitches under arm. So now every round is 22 stitches smaller and fits so much better. So now again trying to knit the body. So everyone else still working on theirs. Lets keep each other motivated and keep posting updates.
