Georgie: Knitting Comfort and Style in Perfect Harmon
Jun 16, 2023
Show notes
Ah, Georgie, the knitting pattern that solves the knitter's timeless pursuit of comfort and style! Picture yourself wrapped in its slouchy embrace, cocooned in memories of carefree days and youthful joy. Georgie's dropped shoulders and rhythmic open lace pattern transport us to a world where relaxation and sophistication coexist in perfect harmony.
COMFORT AND STYLE
This top-down knitted jumper has been thoughtfully designed to prioritise both comfort and style. Its sweeping neckline gracefully accentuates the collarbones, while the soft, gently shaped stocking stitch sleeves ensure an easy and flattering fit. And let's not forget the unique faux side seam that seamlessly transitions into the ribbed hem, adding that extra touch of elegance!
But Georgie's charm extends beyond creating a single jumper. Whether you're knitting for yourself or a loved one, Georgie's balance of comfort and style is appreciated by all. Teenagers, in particular, seek a garment that embraces both comfort and fashion, and a Georgie jumper knitted for a teen will become a cherished heirloom.
choose great yarn
To bring Georgie to life, you can't go past the deliciously woolly Truly Myrtle sport-weight yarn. This stunning yarn, available in a range of fabulously rich shades, perfectly complements the pattern, adding depth and texture to your finished garment.
As you embark on your Georgie knitting adventure, you'll find yourself embracing the calming rhythm of the stitches, savouring the quiet moments spent knitting, and feeling a sense of accomplishment with every row completed. And when you finally slip on your finished Georgie jumper, you'll be rewarded with a garment that exudes effortless style and envelops you in a comforting embrace.
you can knit Georgie!
So, let Georgie be your guide in the pursuit of comfort and style. Georgie is a creative journey that welcomes knitters of all levels. Whether you're an experienced knitter seeking a relaxing project or a beginner looking for a satisfying challenge, Georgie welcomes you with open arms. Its simplicity and versatility make it the perfect companion for endless cups of tea, shared laughter, and knitting sessions with friends.

Sleeves, Bodies & Jogless Stripes! Podcast 25 May 2023
May 25, 2023
Show notes
The Double Time knit along is still going, and this week we’re taking another step with our knitting and talking about sleeves, bodies and jogless stripes.
I thoroughly recommend it. There's something special about taking our usually solitary craft and making it communal. Not the actual knitting part - but the working together, sharing the journey part.
Sometimes, everyone knits the same pattern in a KAL. Other times, everyone uses the same yarn, theme, or designer ... there are about as many ways to knit-along as there are knitters.
THE WHOLE POINT IS TO ENJOY THE TOGETHERNESS OF IT ALL.
Rather than slogging away on your own for the uppity-zillionth time, it can be sweet relief to be stuck on sleeve island, or something tricky, with someone else.
IF YOU'RE IN THE MOOD FOR INSPIRATION, KAL'S ARE A FANTASTIC PLACE TO START.
You can ooh and aah over colours, yarns, stitches, and patterns until the cows come home in complete confidence that you're in the company of people who get it. Of course, because knitters are great people, happy to spend endless hours talking about knitterly stuff, which is delightful.
Feeling shaky about your colour combo? Stuck on a tricky stitch? No worries!
THIS IS WHERE KAL'S COME INTO THEIR OWN.
Especially if you're all knitting the same pattern, ask for help – someone will most likely have tackled it all before you, and while it's fresh in their mind, they're the best people to help. You might even find that some generous soul creates a little video for you to show you how your tricky stitch is worked. (It happens! The knitters in Truly Myrtle KAL's are the most fabulously supportive.)
While they don't always come with a deadline, a KAL often creates a semi-deadline that you may or may not want to shoot for. It's totally up to you – although possibly difficult to resist if you're swept along by the yarn fumes and happy vibes of a great KAL. Knitting with other knitters often makes for a team effort that ends with a finished knit. Yay!
We're hosting a fun KAL in the Truly Myrtle Hangout right now. Everyone is knitting the new Double Time cardigan with its fun stripes, raglan shaping and fun details. If you're tempted, we'd love to see you there.
You may already have perfect Double Time yarn in your stash, or perhaps this is the right moment to treat yourself and splash out on new skeins. Check out the beauties at fibre2go.co.nz or use your discount code TMDOUBLETIME at www.skeinz.com to get a 15% discount on their Flight and Pulse yarns (expires end of May 2023).
Once you're in the Hangout, let us know you're there! Leave a comment, show off your yarn (or tell us if you need some feedback on colours), ask questions if you have any – then chat!
Visit other posts, give them a thumbs up, and if you fancy, leave a comment. Be brave! Getting stuck in boots and all makes for a super fun KAL experience.
If you have a hiccup and find you don't have time to keep up with everyone, try not to worry. Making a KAL work for you is the secret to keeping it enjoyable and will bring you back for more.
So, even if life throws you a curly moment and you can't knit for a bit, if you still have time for a quick chat, stay in touch. Talking with friends you've made during the KAL may even soften your curly moment.
Later, when life settles down, your knitting will be waiting for you to pick up where you left off. And your new KAL friends will be ready to cheer you on.
