If you’ve been spending time on here lately, you’ve probably seen some of the stunning colour combos for the Rujuu Sweater. If you’re feeling inspired and want to play with your favourite pairings without the mystery, I have just released a new pattern! Meet the Elza Sweater. It’s my latest top-down raglan, inspired by another traditional Latvian mitten motif. The pattern is super intuitive with mostly short floats, making it a very meditative knit. You can get the pattern now on Ravelry and Etsy. Use the code ELZA20 to get 20% off through February 8th. (Heads up, newsletter subscribers: check your inbox for an even better exclusive code!) If you run into any issues with the code, please reach out before you finish checking out, as I can't apply discounts once the transaction is complete. Happy knitting!

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!

Very chuffed to be interviewed by the wonderfullly amazing Fruity Knitting podcast 🤩 It's definitely one of my favourite knitting channels on YouTube as it's always packed with so much value and inspiration, and I couldn't be more honoured. In case you'd like to hear a bit more of what goes on behind the scenes at Zanete Knits, here's the episode to watch!

Evening everyone. I’ve had a couple of people pestering me about ‘do I want a website’ and ‘do you want to sell your ‘art’’ that kind of thing. I know you can block these people but did you know you can make your account private so they can’t find you or know that you’ve been online recently, I assume anyway. I hope nobody else is being hounded by this kind of thing. Switch on ‘hide from search engines’ in settings.

I am absolutely blown away by how many of you are joining in this year! We’ve already seen 231 finished versions of Clue 1 posted, and 10 of you have even done two versions!! I’m so incredibly grateful and humbled that you’re sharing this journey with me, it’s honestly the best reward. I hope you’re having as much fun as I am! ❤️ I know you’re all eager to see what Clue 2 has in store, and I think you’re going to find it really intriguing. If you’ve already bought the pattern, check your inbox for an update notification, then refresh your Ravelry library to download the new Clue 2 file. If you haven't joined yet, you can still grab the pattern here. I’ve also added a couple of tutorials for this clue over on Skool! Just head to the Classroom tab to find the Rujuu course. I can’t wait to see your progress and how your colours continue to come together! 🤩
