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.

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!

Hi everyone. My name is Deborah Whitehurst. I also go by the name The Spatially Challenged Knitter on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. I live in San Diego, California. This will be my second Mystery Yoke Sweater. Here's a picture of my completed sweater from last year. (Full disclosure, I didn't finish it until September. Sorry Zanete!) I'm still trying to decide between the cardigan and the pullover for this year. I'll post some yarn choices soon. I'm very excited for this year's mystery!

I will be making the cardigan. Color A will be gray, color B will be the pink, Color C will be the blue and Color D will be the black as the framing color. Do you think these will work? I still need to do a gauge to make sure they will work but wanted to check the colors with you. Thank you!

Playing around with options. Considering the grays for A (maybe trying to pair the very light purple fingering with a light gray fingering), the greens as B, and the dark purples for C. Not 100% that they all work, but it's my first attempt.
