SWEETGEORGIA VOL 2
LOOKBOOK
Winter peeks her quiet face around the corner, signaling the heartening need for warmth, coziness, and community. Her cold presence lingering outside is exactly the inspiration I yearn for and I find myself immersed in the creative outlet of crafting small gifts for those I love. It's simple, peaceful, and wholly renewing to sink into the colourful delights of yarn. Stitch by stitch, love, generosity, and goodness guide and envelope me. Pair this with the gentle sentiments of the season, like sweet goods in the oven, twinkling lights, and crisp cold reddening my cheeks, and I am both soothed and delighted. We hope the beautiful patterns in our Holidays with SweetGeorgia Collection fill you with that same sense of wonder. These gorgeous little accessories knit up quickly and are perfect for gift-giving. With each joyful stitch, each simple act of "making," we hope that you are warmed and comforted as winter carries on outside. #sweetgeorgiayarns

CATHEDRAL GROVE by Moira Engel // knit in Superwash Wrosted
Rich lace in bold colours are enough to captivate, but when knit in our luxuriously warm Superwash Worsted, the results are positively sumptuous. The construction remains simple, allowing the hue and stitches to remain the focus. It's an accessory you'll want to knit over and over again.
