SweetGeorgia

It was a busy day with lots of boxes arriving. We received 7 boxes in total. One had eight brand new colours of Tough Love Sock from SweetGeorgia.

The colours are online and available in the store.

80% superwash merino wool, 20% nylon
425 yards / 388 m per 4 oz / 115g skein 

A perfect blend of warmth and strength to make a hardwearing sock yarn that can stand up to your affection and abuse. Tough Love Sock is our best-selling yarn and knits up beautifully into fine-gauge sweaters, small shawls, as well as socks! Spun from 80% superwash and super soft merino and 20% nylon, this 3-ply yarn is so versatile, knit it firmly for hard wearing socks, knit it loosely for drapey shawls or knit it doubled for a great worsted weight substitute.

The new colours got me thinking about Alpine Bloom (pattern purchased on Ravelry). Here are some of the sweater that were made during our KAL. 

Here are some combinations that I put together. I hoped to get them online today but I don’t think it’s in the cards. I still have 6 more boxes to unpack.

Slushie and Love Spell

Limeade and Side Quest

Creamsicle and Eleventh Hour

Sea Glass and Dear Diary

Unicorn Hair and Always Yours

Hydrangea and Soft Power

Cupcake and Cold Comfort

Pop Corn and Side Quest

I then put together some combinations using Tough Love Sock and Crazy Zauberball. You will need one ball of Zauberball for sizes 36” - 52” finished bust.

We have kits online (and in the store) for the Symphony Shawl. The kit is knit with SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock Micro Skeins. There were 2 more colourways in the box but I wasn’t able to get decent pictures.

Fifteen hues in rich jewel tones are enough to delight anyone, but the added blend of lace and easy colourwork takes it over the top. Knitters of every level will find pure joy in working this asymmetrical triangular shawl.

I should be working on the website but it’s time to knit.
