Secret Stash Club Knitting: Kelias Socks

Testing out this month’s Secret Stash Yarn Club was especially sweet. The subtly nuanced hues in our “So Kawaii” colourway are both delicate yet full of character, making it a joy to work with. We couldn’t resist turning this month’s club colourway into a pair of cozy, textured knit socks. The result is comfort with a touch of whimsy!

THE STORY BEHIND THE SO KAWAII COLOURWAY

“So Kawaii” is a combo of English and Japanese… “so” (English) and “kawaii” (Japanese for “cute”). Kawaii is an aesthetic in Japan that references cute, adorable, tiny, pretty, and sort of child-like innocence. This month’s colour is exactly that… it’s pink, cute, and innocent. It’s enjoying, accepting, and identifying with all that is good and joyful.

You can read more about this month’s colourway story at the reveal blog post.

KNITTING THE KELIAS SOCKS

The Kelias sock pattern, designed by Tabetha Hedrick, features easy slipped stitches. These stitches create a zig-zagging path traveling down these cozy socks, offering the perfect blend of texture and simplicity. SweetGeorgia team member, Charlotte, chose this pattern to show how the slipped stitches break up the slight variation in the hand-dyed “So Kawaii” colourway.

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 ...
