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!

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! 🤩

I’m so excited that for most of you, this will be your first steek! Eek! I love how brave you all are, and I really hope your trust in me pays off. The best part is, we've got a bunch of experienced steekers who can help us through this with moral support! But we don't need to worry about all that yet. Today we focus on the first clue. It's been a bit of a wait but it's officially out! If you have already purchased the pattern, check your inbox for a notification about the pattern update, then refresh your Ravelry library to download the newly added Clue 1 file. If not, you can still grab it here. There’s also a few tutorials waiting for you here on Skool! Just head over to the Classroom tab and find the Rujuu course. Let the fun begin! I can’t wait to see all your amazing projects! P.S. A little note on spoilers! To keep things simple and fun for everyone this year, we won't be using spoiler photo covers or separate clue threads. This means you'll likely see WIP photos out in the open as each clue is released. If you're starting a bit later and want to keep the surprise, it might be best to hop back on here only when you're ready to see the images.

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.
