Knitting the Wild Orange Shawl with New Enlighten Colourways

Embrace the vibrant spirit of spring and summer with our new Enlighten Collection colourways, perfect for your next knitting project! Inspired by the hand-dyed hues, we envisioned a light, breezy accessory that beautifully showcases the gradient of colours. The airy lacework of Tabetha Hedrick’s Wild Orange shawl design was the ideal complement to these stunning shades, resulting in a delicate, versatile shawl you’ll love wearing all season long.

THE ENLIGHTEN COLLECTION COLOURWAYS

Calling to be made into radiant spring and summer projects, Enlighten is filled with a palette of light and airy hues. Ranging from soft yellow and peachy-orange to gentle pinks, lavender, frothy blues, and sea glass greens, this new collection is part of our SweetGeorgia Colour System. Each hue captures the essence of spring light, moments of summer joy, and the magic of a free spirit.

We took six of the eight colourways from this collection and created a special SweetGeorgia Hexa Hue mini-skein set. Each set includes six mini-skeins of Tough Love Sock fingering-weight yarn, offering a fun opportunity to sample our latest colour collections. Which is exactly what we were inspired to do!

KNITTING THE WILD ORANGE SHAWL

Tabetha Hedrick’s Wild Orange shawl pattern has a deceptively simple repeat and construction. The diamond lace design fans across the fabric of this triangular shawl shape. Using only one of the SweetGeorgia Hexa Hue sets, this beautiful shawl was knit by our kind sample knitter, Irene.

Instructions

  • Download a copy of the Wild Orange pattern, available at the SweetGeorgia online shop.
  • Follow the pattern set up directions and CO 5 stitches starting with the Creamsicle mini-skein colourway, working all of the set up rows.
  • Change to the lace pattern instructions. Based on your desired length of shawl and your gauge, switch through the next colourways in the mini-skein set. You can either opt to maximize the amount of yardage of your yarn, or instead switch at the end of a lace pattern repeat.
  • When at your desired shawl length with enough yarn left to finish the remainder of the shawl, work Row 1 of the lace pattern once. Then bind off the stitches loosely.
  • Weave in your yarn ends and block the shawl as desired, opening up the lace work detail. Let dry and enjoy!

Crocheting Granny Squares for the Jethro Cardigan

Image
Crochet Granny Squares are just so much fun to make! Just… one… more round… one more square… For today’s Taking Back Friday episode, I talk about the crochet granny squares I have been making at every possible moment for this past month. I’ve recently been inspired by the Jethro cardigan design by Tanis Lavallee from Tanis Fiber Arts. The Jethro cardigan combines both knitting and crochet in one project. You start by crocheting a bunch of classic granny squares, and then join them all together. Then, you pick up for knitting the sleeves and trim. It’s a really fun and easy way to play with colour, especially with making your own palettes and colour combinations. Mini-skein sets work perfectly to allow for fun colour play with these granny squares The goal of making these granny squares is to play with colour, but I didn’t want to go and buy 6 to 10 full skeins of DK-weight yarn in order to get enough of each colour. And so, I feel like the answer here is DK-weight mini-skeins . ...

Joining Crochet Granny Squares – It’s Easier Than I Imagined!

Image
I recently learned how to continuously “join as you go” (JAYG) for crochet granny squares and I LOVE this technique. And so on today’s Taking Back Friday video , I want to share an update on my Jethro Cardigan project and how I joined the granny squares. As I shared in a previous vlog episode , I’ve been making crochet squares out of three different sets of our Superwash DK Party of Five mini-skein sets. I finished making the 36 granny squares needed, which no two are identical. However, after crocheting all of the squares, I was stuck on how to join them together. They simply sat finished in a pile for a couple of weeks. Luckily, Tanis provided resources with her pattern and one of them was for the “Join as You Go” tutorial. It was fantastic. I’m so proud and excited that I’m almost done. I love how it is turning out, and playing with colours has been the most fun part of this project. If you’re interested in making your own Jethro Cardigan, I want to give you some encouragemen...

Winterful Weave-Along: Weaving WIPs

Image
Part of the fun of any make-along is to connect with fellow makers — to share your progress, ask questions, and be inspired by others’ work. We’ve absolutely loved seeing all of your photos and the journey of all of the weave-along weavers both at our Discord and SOS Forum spaces. SweetGeorgia Team Member, Greta, has now started weaving her second Kaleidoscope Scarf ! Helping to add some additional needed yardage for the border colour with our SweetGeorgia Individual Mini-Skeins (in Bison), Greta is following her own weft order — adding in some yellow picks and writing the order on a sticky note so the pattern can be easily repeated. Greta’s @gretacornejomakes second Kaleidoscope Scarf in-progress There is more weaving project inspiration to be found at our SweetGeorgia Discord space, in the #winterful-weave-along channel. It’s wonderful to follow along as everyone works through the weaving steps together. Also a fabulous opportunity for community learning, as weavers share ...
