Secret Stash Knitting: Sheaves Shawl

June’s Secret Stash Club brings a burst of inspiration with our new Lapis Lazuli colourway. This gemstone’s deep blue hues and golden streaks sparked our creativity, leading us to knit a stunning shawl sample that highlights the beauty of this month’s yarn. Showcasing the elegance of the deep, cobalt blue, this project celebrates the magic of Lapis Lazuli in every stitch.

THE LAPIS LAZULI CLUB YARN

Chosen as one of the 2025 colours of the year, “cosmic cobalt” is a super saturated, striking, royal, and rich blue. This colour is inspired by Lapis Lazuli, which is a semi-precious gemstone used in jewelry and art since 7500 BC. This cobalt blue is deep, celestial, and reminiscent of a starry night sky.

The June 2025 Secret Stash yarn colourway draws inspiration from both the gemstone and Felicia’s kids, who love the video game Minecraft. From extracting dye colours from minerals and rocks in the game, learn more about the inspiration behind this colourway at our blog reveal.

THE SHEAVES SHAWL PATTERN

When we first looked at Lapis Lazuli and noticed the gold streaks in the rock, Felicia imagined creating something with gold accents. For example, you could knit, crochet, or weave a shawl and finish it with a border of gold thread or ribbon. On the other hand, a stole, scarf, or shawl in this rich cobalt blue looks beautiful even without any trim.

This month, we chose the Sheaves lace shawlette by Meg Roke for our sample knitting. Linda knit the sample using one skein of SweetGeorgia Mohair Silk Sock in Lapis Lazuli. The result is a lovely accessory.

The shawl feels feather-light and features a striking slipped stitch eyelet pattern that looks like wheat sheaves. The pattern is simple to knit. The rhythmic stitches show off the yarn’s subtle colour variations beautifully.

Instructions

  • To knit the Sheaves shawl design, download a copy of the pattern — available at the SweetGeorgia online shop.
  • Follow directions for casting on, then following the required number of repeats for the beginning section of the shawl.
  • Continue following the short row directions as written in the pattern.
  • Using the Backward Loop Cast-On method, cast on 3 stitches which will be the first three i-cord stitches. Continue the directions until all the stitches of the shawl have been worked. To finish, knit the remaining three stitches together through the back loops and then secure.
  • Weave in ends and block to measurements. This will help to open up the pattern design and create a nice drape in the fabric. 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 ...
