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!! 🤩

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!

My clue 3 the neckband…. Haven’t decided to fold it or not…if I don’t fold it I will maybe do a bind of with a contact color…time will see

I mixed up colors A and B in Clue 2. What should I do? Rip and redo correctly? Or just adjust? And switch colors later? I don’t have nearly enough of the gray yarn to maintain this switch throughout.

I started late as I wanted to get an idea of what other colourways people were using. All my wool for this project is from skeinz and some is stuff I had for quite a while just waiting for the perfect project. I tend to buy wool on special in colours I love and wait for the wool to talk to me about what it wants to become. I wanted there to be enough contrast but at the same time for there to be limited tones and hues. I also love variegated wool (I also dye wool myself) and wanted to use up wool I had that wasn't my hand dyed stuff. The middle yarn is actually plyed with different strands of variegated wool. I'm very impressed with all the lovely colours people have chosen and it is the most delightfully beautiful pattern.
