Secret Stash Club Knitting: Heathered Sunset Shawl

Our October Secret Stash Club yarn, Pumpkin Patch, echoes winding paths of pumpkins in the new Heathered Sunset shawl sample. With rich oranges, golds, and rust browns tipped with green, the single sock blank is ready to be transformed into something special. Designed by Tabetha Hedrick, the classic lace design brings this warm and cozy gradient to life, celebrating the beauty of autumn with every row.

THE PUMPKIN PATCH STORY

For our October 2025 yarn, Pumpkin Patch, we looked to memories of hand-sewn Halloween costumes and trips to the local pumpkin patch. The earthy, warm colours of this season were translated onto a single sock blank, celebrating the warmth and playfulness of fall.

Inspired by Felicia’s annual visits to the local pumpkin patch, this month’s colourway is filled with rich autumn oranges, golds, and rust browns tipped with green! Read more about the sock blank at the colour reveal post.

KNITTING THE HEATHERED SUNSET SHAWL

You can use the Pumpkin Patch sock blank on its own, or combine it with a second skein to create stripes or blocks of colour. One sock blank is however enough to knit a simple lace scarf, such as Tabetha Hedrick’s Heathered Sunset pattern. This triangular shawl is worked starting from the back neck, center-out. Featuring classic lace in a well-loved shawl shape, eyelets in diamonds travel across the fabric. These wander in simple columns framed by stockinette stitch.

For the knitting of this month’s sample, knitter Elaine Yee worked with US 4 / 3.5mm needles. Elaine followed the pattern as written, working the Border rows 1-12 one additional time, then binding off. This was done to use more of the yarn, and Elaine ended with only 3g of the sock blank left. Note that due to differences in gauge, this may vary when knitting your own Heathered Sunset shawl.

Sock blanks offer a unique way to dye colour gradients, as we dye directly on the knitted tube of fabric. If you’re new to working with them, we suggest watching Tabetha’s tutorial on how to use a single sock blank.

JOIN THE CLUB

We look forward to sharing more project inspiration with colourways we’ve concocted as part of our Secret Stash Club. Telling stories through our colours and sharing how we see the world, we hope you join us there!

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 ...
