We’ve released Stitch Diaries Season Four with five lace patterns written and charted for flat and circular knitting. The best part? You can use any of the stitch patterns in the “recipe” at the end.
The Stitch Diaries is one of my favourite things to produce. It’s half a stitch dictionary, and half pattern recipe, and a dash of my rambling thoughts put together in an 18-page booklet. GRIN.
Reflections
I’m always so excited when I get to partner up with one of our SweetGeorgia team members to come up with an exclusive colourway on one of our yarn bases. This quarter, Teresa dreamed up the delicate Reflections colourway on our Merino Silk Lace (swoon, swoon, swoon is all I can say). We wanted a subtle tonal blend that shifted and blended in all the right places.
“The two hues interweaving with each other, with purposeful white spacing, remind me of the final glimmers of light from the setting sun, glistening over the gentle ripples of waves in the beautiful lake I frequented as a child.”
Stitch Diaries: Season Four set includes:
- 2 skeins of a unique, custom colourway imagined and designed by a SweetGeorgia team member: Reflections on Merino Silk Lace
- An 18-page booklet that is half stitch dictionary and half pattern recipe. You can take any of the five lace patterns and place them inside the included Dames Violet tee pattern (a gorgeous summer top perfect for warm weather). Please note that some sizes will need to add additional yarn to their set.
- A beautiful stitch marker made exclusively for SweetGeorgia by Ocean Loops Studio

Season Four Only Lasts a Season
Of course, you aren’t limited to just making the tee in the set. Take any of the lace patterns and drop them into any design that uses an 8-stitch multiple. Or come up with your own! I think it’s great if you’re ever feeling creative-block or just want to try something new.
I’m so excited for you to get your hands on this one-of-a-kind colourway and all the amazing projects that can be knit with it. But, be sure you grab it soon. This is a limited-edition set that only lasts a season. I hope you love these lace patterns and Reflections in Stitch Diaries: Season Four as much as we do!
