Last month, we shared with you our Socktober celebration… we cast on a new sock pattern, learnt new tips and techniques in Tabetha’s top-down sock knitting workshop, and enjoyed everything about the joys of the humble hand-knit sock. But as the weather has grown even colder (and so very grey and wet here in the Pacific Northwest), the layers are being busted out! We’re bundling up and the key word is cosy. The comfort of a warm, hand-knit sweater is soothing our chills while we’re snuggling in at home, staying safe. Not to mention the opportunity to add in the making and wearing of vibrant and uplifting colours to brighten these shorter days? Count us in!

Felicia’s Throwback Cardigan by Andrea Mowry, knit in SweetGeorgia Superwash Worsted
Now of course these yarns also work beautifully in knit and crochet hats, mittens and scarves as well, but included below are some garment pattern suggestions for our DK and worsted weight yarns for new project making inspiration.
As well, don’t miss checking out the School of SweetGeorgia for courses that also share the sweater season joy! Knit Your First Sweater taught by Tabetha Hedrick, Modern Colourwork Knitting with Felicia Lo Wong teaching the techniques of stranded colourwork, Leah Learns Design where Tabetha guides Leah through the steps of designing her first sweater, and Spin to Knit a Sweater with Rachel Smith walking you through the process of creating your first garment from handspun yarn. And if you’re looking for a shipping-free holiday gift idea, give the gift of fibre-arts learning with a School of SweetGeorgia gift membership (redeemable only on new SOS membership accounts).
Sending a warm woolen hug of love and appreciation for your support over this past year. We’re so thankful for, and have absolutely loved, staying in touch with fellow makers – meeting together in our online crafternoons and through sharing projects and support on social media and in the School of SweetGeorgia community forums. Thank you!

This gorgeous colorful pattern in the photo where can we find this pattern for purchase and is it available as a virtual class once we all of yarn?
Thanks Sheila! You can find this pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wild-autumn-cardigan. It’s actually a very straightforward pattern to follow, but it’s helpful to know how to do the stranded colourwork knitting. We’ve made a vlog about it here https://youtu.be/MvPDSKO5p2c and you can also see our course on Modern Colourwork Knitting as well for stranded colourwork knitting techniques here: https://www.schoolofsweetgeorgia.com/courses/modern-colourwork-knitting/
I would like to buy all the stuff to make the Abbye Dahl Wild Autumn Cardigan just like you are using.
Yes! Thanks so much Amy! We just bundled the colours and yarns together for you here: https://sweetgeorgiayarns.com/wildautumnset/ and there are two options. Either the DK option or one with Tough Love Sock held double.
