beautiful synchronicity Spring is like a glorious symphony, it seems. Budding flowers and cool rains, leaves unfurling and bees buzzing, tiny shoots and late frosts, the earth nearly pulses beneath our feet with all that goes on. Every growing thing and whisper of movement collaborates with all the others in a magical chorus, each a beautiful note of its own playing in perfect harmony with all the others. Neale Donald Walsch reminds us, “Don’t dismiss the synchronicity of what is happening right now finding its way to your life at just this moment.” It’s a beautiful synchronicity indeed. Our knitting is like the spring. Knits and purls, yarnovers and decreases,
a bind off here and a seam there. Each element seemingly on its own, but when played with all the rest? Things aren’t as random as they first appear. It’s purposeful, invigorating, and harmonious. The four designs in our Spring with SweetGeorgia, Vol. 6 collection seek to harness the way spring arranges itself into a song. With lace at the forefront, the shapes and colours come alive, promising all the joy of the season after a long, cold winter. May each stitch play a little note in your own heart as you create! Happy knitting, dear friends, and enjoy those first fruits of spring. #sweetgeorgiayarns

BRANDYWINE worked in Flaxen Silk Fine // by Tabetha Hedrick
Bits of lace edge the hem and cuffs of this unique pullover. Featuring drop shoulders, bell sleeves, and an empire waist, the silhouette is as elegant as it is relaxed. Knitters will delight in how easily it comes together with fun construction and minimal seaming.

NIABELL worked in Mohair Silk Sock // by Tabetha Hedrick
Rich colours meld harmoniously in this luxurious accessory. Worked sideways in an asymmetrical shape, the fabric features a little lace, a smattering of slipped stitches, and a touch of cables for a project that captivates from start to finish.

SPRING & SUMMER PALETTE 2021/22 Fresh. Bright. Breaking free. Our Spring 2021 palette is just the ticket after a long, cool winter and it’s inspired by a wanderlust that’s ready to burst beyond the garden, the woods, and even this planet. Featuring tonal semisolids and boldly splashy variegateds, these reds, purples, greens, and blues are perfectly wearable and elegant in the same breath. Let your imagination run freely with this explosion of colour and experience the elation of escaping this stratosphere. These colourways are seasonal and available until end of February 2022.
