New knitting

Every once in a while, a pattern comes along that feels so delicious you want to run straight to the loom. That is exactly how the SweetGeorgia team felt when we first saw the Sunday Morning Waffle Towels. Squishy, textured, and full of colour, what’s not to love? This is the second free pattern included in our newest School of SweetGeorgia course, Weaving Waffle Weave with Felicia Lo. Sunday Morning Waffle Towels , designed by Felicia Lo. Sunday Morning Waffle Towels Is it the joyful play of colour, the irresistible waffle texture, or just the way they come together so effortlessly? The warp uses four main colours, woven in Maurice Brassard 8/2 Unmercerized Cotton , while up to six colours dance through the weft, creating rich and surprising combinations. (Also making this a great scrap-busting project.)  You can choose between baby or big waffles, depending on how big you want the pockets to be. Felicia encourages you to try both, which keeps the weaving process interestin...

As you know, I’m always looking for new ways to use knitting yarn and explore colour, especially hand-dyed colour. And this year, I have made it my goal to learn new crafts, things that I’ve been curious about, but never really had a moment to stop and try. And one of those new crafts is Tunisian crochet.  I have to say, learning Tunisian crochet has been a little bit of an adventure for me, so I wanted to share my experience with you. Everything from the good, the tricky, and the “throw it in the corner for a time out” moments, because I think there is value in showing the messy middle of learning something new. New Craft, New Tools So, first things first, we need to talk about the tools. If you want to learn how to do Tunisian crochet, you don’t necessarily need to acquire any specific Tunisian crochet hooks. You can use a regular crochet hook with a small number of stitches to get started and try the technique. If you are going to make something wider than two or three inch...

Each month, we challenge ourselves to explore new and unexpected colours, often venturing beyond our comfort zones. However, our March Secret Stash Club colourway, Dusty Lilac, is a delightful exception—firmly rooted in my personal favourites. For once, we’re indulging in a hue that feels like a comforting neutral, effortlessly pairing with navy, grey, brown, beige, and black, and even serving as a subtle backdrop to brighter shades like magenta and turquoise. Sometimes it’s important to push boundaries… and sometimes it’s ok to just enjoy what you love. Say hello to ‘Dusty Lilac’, our March 2026 Secret Stash Club colourway! EMBRACE THE COMFORT OF DUSTY LILAC This month’s Dusty Lilac colourway is exactly in my comfort zone. If you saw two winter jackets, my latest pair of leggings, my notebook, my running shoes, and even my suitcase… they are ALL THIS COLOUR. Nearly my entire closet is some shade of desaturated purple with a hint of grey and brown. I wanted just one month where w...

For our March Club sample, the delightfully soft yarn base set the tone for everything. We wanted a pattern that would highlight the subtle hand-dyed variations while also being a joy to snuggle up in. Andrea Mowry’s Jaunty shawl was a perfect fit. Adaptable to a variety of yarn weights, it’s an enjoyable and relaxing project. The overall look is elegant and calming—ideal for when you want a gentle pop of colour without overwhelming brightness. THE DUSTY LILAC COLOUR STORY Our March Secret Stash Club colourway, Dusty Lilac, is a beautifully soft and muted blend of purples, featuring gentle undertones of grey and a touch of brown. The yarn displays a harmonious mix of lavender, mauve, and silvery lilac shades, creating a subtle, tonal effect that feels both cosy and sophisticated. Incredibly versatile, it is perfect as a chromatic neutral that pairs effortlessly with both understated and vibrant colours.
