Running this first Mystery Knit-Along was exciting, but certainly not without its challenges. We’ve learned a lot of lessons throughout the process that we are already applying to our current project list. I love creating new patterns for our customers and pride myself at making sure our designs are the best the can be, but I’m not perfect (please don’t tell my husband). You might say I’m still a student in some respects, living to learn, continuously trying to face challenges head-on in the attempt to get better, thinking bigger, and create more. The greatest challenge, of late it seems, has been to “go with the flow” and letting my mindset adjust and expand to allow new ideas in without regret.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for the support, feedback (both constructive and positive), encouragement, and patience through our first MKAL. Every message and email was valued and we are grateful that you took the time to reach out with your thoughts.
And so, without further ado, we are delighted to present the final, full and complete version of Cederberg! With that said SPOILERS AHEAD in …
