I am joining with my Rujuu pullover, just sleeves and icord and it will be finished! My first colourwork ☺️ I am really happy with how the colour changing Malabrigo turned out - lighter at the top and another skein was a bit darker for the bottom part. It is the same yarn, bought together at the same time. I wouldn't believe there can be such a big difference. I am looking at other patterns and planning what to do next. I am a bit afraid of the patterns that use small needle size, like 2.5cm. It's going to take a very long time given how much time I can dedicate to knitting.

My grandchilds shall get this jumper. Pattern is Dad and son.

The Rujuu Sweater is ready, this was my first colorwork sweater.

In January, my husband convinced me to make it my new years resolution to go *way* outside my comfort zone and do this mystery knit-a-long. 2 1/2 months later (after delays getting a zipper) it's finished. So many challenges met - the picking of l colors without knowing what the finished project would look like, putting a zipper into a knit garment, steeking for the first time, figuring out how to make a knit double sided zipper facing so that all my raw edges and zipper tape were completely enclosed when I couldn't find a tutorial for it, trying to source an antique brass two way zipper, etc. After a few sessions of tearing it out and reknitting (one because I changed sizes, another because I decided that transitioning from red to navy really should have hand-dyed purple in between :) and another because I decided I wanted it 3" shorter than I had it after I had finished the ribbing), my Rujuu sweater that I started on January 15 is done!
