Our Mystery KAL is officially back for year three! We’re knitting a top-down round yoke sweater (or a steeked cardigan) together over seven weekly clues, kicking off on January 16th. This year, we’re leaning into stash-busting, so feel free to start hunting through your yarn collection now. You can get all the details on the Ravelry pattern page or here on Skool in the dedicated Classroom where I’ll also be posting all the relevant video tutorials as clues become available. We’d love for you to jump in and share your yarn picks, questions, and progress photos. Just use the "MYAL 2026" category for your posts. Heads up: we aren’t doing spoiler alerts this time, so feel free to post away in whatever way you like just as long as it is in that category! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with this year.

Hi everyone! So excited to join this group and the MYAL, my first. One question about using high contrast colors - I am anxious about the dark colors of Color C bleeding when I block with a very light Color A/D, especially as some of my yarns are made by smaller producers. Do you have special suggestions to avoid that? Still working to identify my colors, but anticipate high contrast no matter what I choose. Thank you!

Here's what I'm thinking g for MYAL 2026... the colorful varigated is color C (colorwork main color), background, color A and color D are the same with the grey/cream muted varigated and my pip is the red!
