Dear Reader, it is better to have knitted and frogged, than to never have tinked at all! Having gone back to basics and my original gauge, and with help from @Zanete Hussain (thank you so much), I frogged back to the beginning of the short rows to correct lumpiness and errors. Changing sizes was therefore easy, from 3 to 4, as the pattern was identical at that stage. I dreaded doing it with two jumpers on the go; the second one had insurmountable loose tension problems from the chenille yarn. I felt that all my progress was lost and was feeling low. To combat the gloom I reknit jumper 2 from scratch, and steam blocked after clue 1 was finished; with careful concentration, the problem was resolved and I felt better. While that was drying, I reknit jumper 1 as size 4. It's now complete up to clue 3, and I'm really happy with it; the knitting lies flat without blocking, it's smooth and soft to the hand, I can't stop stroking it! It was totally worth it to go back and fix. I've learned much about why I knit, what my expectations are, and how to approach my knitting more mindfully. Now that I've got more stitch markers, I can catch up on jumper 2 before the release of clue 4. I'm happy only having one up to date, as the second is a present with no time constraints.

Hi! I have restarted my jumper, after going through stages of grief and acceptance that it does not fit! (My fault, guage issues!) 🙃 I am using 6mm needles which has given correct stitch guage but row gauge looks like 20 rows/4 inch. EDIT: After blocking the row guage is now 16/4 inches. 😑 Will it be safe to continue knitting at this row guage? Or will this cause me problems later on ? Many thanks! Xx

I have to admit, seeing all your gorgeous WIPs throughout last week was a total emotional rollercoaster! It’s amazing to see over 340 projects through Clue 1, 240 of those have crushed Clue 2, and the number of people making two versions went up to 14! Every single one is so unique, I could spend hours scrolling through Skool every day, it’s a real treat just taking them all in. 😍 But Clue 3 is finally here, and it’s all about trying it and making sure it fits. I’m also really looking forward to seeing how many of you will choose to put your own spin on the neckband. I've seen a few of you have already jumped ahead because you just couldn't wait (totally get it! 😅) If you’ve already got the pattern, keep an eye on your inbox for the update or just refresh your Ravelry library to grab the Clue 3 file. Still want to join? You can grab the pattern here. I’ve also uploaded some fresh tutorials for this clue in the Rujuu course here in the Classroom tab. I can’t wait to see those smiling faces in the modelled shots!

I feel like clue 4 went faster than the first 3. I love the progress so far

It's amazing to see your projects become more and more beautiful with every clue! Right now here on Skool, we have 400 projects finished with Clue 1, 350 with Clue 2, and over 200 progress photos posted for Clue 3! I especially love seeing the photos of you modelling your work with proud smiles, that always makes my day! ❤️ Before we move on to Clue 4, I wanted to share a fun little thing I noticed yesterday. I've been keeping a note of everyone making two versions (there are 20 of you so far!), and I realized that two of those people have the same name. What a one-in-a-million coincidence! Shoutout to @Susan Evans and @Susan Evans 🥂 Clue 4 is here, and it comes with a fun new texture! I hope you’ll love adding this little stitch pattern to your projects as much as I did. I’ve already used it in a few of my recent designs, so of course, I had to include it in this one too. 😅 If you already have the pattern, check your inbox for the update or refresh your Ravelry library to download the Clue 4 file. If you haven’t joined yet but would like to, you can get the pattern here. I’ve also added some new tutorials for Clue 4 in the Rujuu course. Just head to the Classroom tab to check them out! Bring on the stunning photos and let me know if you’re going straight or shaped!! 🤩
