Finishing touches, finishing the folded hem.
This is such a meditative process, perfect for lounging in the sun on a slow afternoon.
I’m loving all the color pops of this beautiful yarn, Moires by @treliz_colorispower. The plump Gentile di Lucania wool is perfect for this texture, and the speckles make it come alive.
Can’t wait to share this new design with you soon!

I absolutely love the joy that comes from creating the Good Things Shawl.
The process of experimenting with colors and the meditative experience of knitting keep me coming back for more.
Each shawl is truly unique due to the distinct use of colors: A gradient, color blocks, and color pops. There are so many possibilities to explore!
If you`re interested in knitting your own Good Things Shawl, you can find the pattern on Ravelry and Payhip. Just follow the link in my profile to download it.

The Good Things Shawl growing, section by section 🩷
I don’t usually take such detailed photos of my projects and designs while they’re in progress, but I decided to share each step for the #SosuGoodThingsShawl KAL.
So I just had to put all these progress pics together so you can watch the shawl grow as well.
The knitting pattern for the Good Things Shawl is available on Ravelry & Payhip in English and German.
It can be knit in Fingering weight yarn, or a combination of Fingering and fluffy Lace weight yarn (as shown here) in as many or few colors as you choose.
Make it your own and have fun with this modular construction!

My latest Good Things Shawl, in all its colorful glory!
🩷🎉🧶🥰
I absolutely loved giving so many leftover bits of previous projects a new life, combined with one neutral color of a fluffy Suri alpaca yarn to tie it all together.
It’s amazing how unique each of the three versions look, simply from using colors differently.

Finished! 🎉
Now my scrappy Good Things Shawl is off to get a good block and then there are just a few ends to weave in… 😅🫣🤪

Almost there! 🎉
It’s day 24 of the #SosuGoodThingsShawl KAL and I’m knitting the last section of the shawl.
#SOSUknits #knitting #BriocheStitch
A little Brioche to ring in the weekend 🩷
I’m knitting away on Section 18 of the Good Things Shawl, which is also day 18 of the KAL.
The sections are getting shorter, and the shawl bigger. Just a few more days, and my scrappy shawl will be finished! 🎉
#SosuGoodThingsShawl #SOSUknits #knitting #BriocheStitch
The modular construction is the invisible star of the Good Things Shawl.
The magic is in the selvedge stitches, as the selvedge stitches of the current section are knit or purled together with the picked-up selvedge stitches of the finished segments.
You can find the full video tutorial on YouTube and a photo tutorial in the pattern.
#SOSUknits #SosuGoodThingsShawl #KnittingTutorial #knitting #ModularKnitting
Halfway there! 🎉
On day 12 of the #SosuGoodThingsShawl KAL, I finished the first set of segments.
It’s been so fun to play with colors, dig through my baskets of leftovers, and knit such a beautiful stash-busting project. I’m all about making the most of the precious yarn, so this is a double win!
Things get exciting tomorrow when the first section of the second set of segments is cast on. From then on, the project becomes modular, and all the segments of the shawl are connected.
Section 13 is my favorite part of the pattern, so I’m looking forward to it.
But first, let’s enjoy the progress so far.

Scrunch, wrap, repeat.
There are many ways to wear a shawl, and this is my go-to method, especially when it’s chilly and I want to keep my neck warm. The more you scrunch, the shorter and warmer it will be. Double wrap for extra warmth and a secure fit.
The knitting pattern for the Good Things Shawl is available on Ravelry and Payhip.

Susanne Sommers Everyday Attitude Tee - a further project to make my stock of yarn smaller… Merino Sock in different shades. Pretty nice Tee to wear at summer nights and mornings if the heat is not lasting overnight as it does on occasion 🫠 and lets me look older 🥵

Got some beach knitting in today and had to capture the moment 🤩 the #sosugoodthingsshawl is nearly complete and I just love it. I was really constrained by stash (using floof+smooth mini skeins that complement each other), and have enjoyed working with colors I’m not inclined to reach for or use together! I also challenged myself to just keep moving forward instead of tinkering, as I usually do, to “improve” a knit. I’m proud of the outcome and hope I like wearing it just as much as making it 🫶 floof is all from the curatedyarnco advent last year, and most smooth skeins are from grittyknits and sweetnesting. #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #alwaysknitting #beachknitting #peacefulknitting #strik #tricot #summerknitting #wip #knitwip #sosuknits #adventknitting #yarnadvent #adventproject #ravelrypattern #surisilk #miniskeins #yarnminis #adventyarn #adventminiskeins
Merci à tous pour l’accueil des kits pour le châle Good Things de sosuknits !
On vient de finir un première vague d’expédition aujourd’hui. Je commence à être sur la fin de mon stock à teindre alors j’ai recommandé direct sans attendre de quoi préparer une nouvelle fournée. J’ai laissé les kits en vente dans la boutique, mais il y aura quelques jours de délai de préparation 🙂
Je compte aussi remettre en ligne tous les minis à l’unité d’ici quelques jours, je n’avais pas fait l’inventaire depuis très longtemps 🙈

I’m putting the #sosugoodthingsshawl together and it is so fun. My eye couldn’t immediately see the gorgeous star zigzag, then BOOM it was there ⚡️These first two smooth mini skeins were my absolute favorites from the sweetnesting advent a few years ago so they got pride of place in this project 😍 and all the floof is from the curatedyarnco yarn advent last year! #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #knittersgonnaknit #alwaysknitting #sosuknits #adventknit #miniskeins #yarnadvent #adventyarn #ravelrypattern #knitshawl #modularknitting #modularknit
Ce châle Good Things de sosuknits m’a tapé dans l’œil, et je compte bien le tricoter tout bientôt, une fois deux de mes encours terminés. La moitié des coloris sont déjà dans mon catalogue permanent mais il m’en manquait quelques uns, alors je me suis amusée à me faire des minis pour que ma laine soit prête le plus vite possible, ça me motivera à finir ce que j’ai sur mes aiguilles !
Il faut 12 minis de 20g pour les parties colorées, et le reste se fait en mohair (possible de faire un fade avec des restes de mohair mais je vais utiliser deux écheveaux unis, comme sur la photo).
Je vous proposerai peut être des kits de 12 minis sur la base Strong & Shiny, en fonction de vos réactions sur ce post et en story 🙂
Ce n’est pas un nouveau modèle, je trouve que c’est une bonne chose de mettre en avant des projets qui sont déjà sortis, on n’est pas toujours obligés de courir après la nouveauté et le dernier patron à la mode 😉

What is your favourite part of a knitting project? I know finishing is great. But I find so much joy in planning a project! I like to read through the pattern and make notes (sometimes completely rewrite it), I have so much fun picking yarns and then I draw/enlarge a picture of the design to colour in so I can really see what I want. Then I have to find the right project bag and the right notions pouch to go in it. This can be a day long project in itself at times, but it is just pure dopamine joy for me 🖤 #sosuknits #goodthingsshawl sosuknits #sealymcwheely #dyecandy
I stumbled across the #sosugoodthingsshawl last week on hi.ravelry and it jumped to the top of my queue. The pattern uses twelve each of floofy and smooth mini skeins, which is a gorgeous use of last year’s suri alpaca advent calendar from curatedyarnc. I challenged myself to reach for overlooked colors and amazingly, there were tons of complementary grey+purple skeins from the grittyknits all-year advent (not yet pictured but they’re coming!) 🩶💜 Throw in a few hoarded favorites from the sweetnesting 2022 advent 🧡🩷 and this shawl is clearing out stash in a deeply satisfying way. It has my singular focus this week! #wip #wipwednesday #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #alwaysknitting #knitshawl #adventyarn #adventknitting #miniskeins #floofyyarn #surialpaca #knittingfromstash #speckleyarn #sosuknits #strik #tricot #nevernotknitting

It’s been a rough week. Enjoying some down time today #knitting a #gridlinessweater by sosuknits.
I’ve been holding on to this yarn from forbiddenfiberco for ages and I think it’s a great match for the pattern. The colorway is Merida and it was from a Yarnover Truck yarn club.

I got a late start and probably won’t catch up, so I’m skipping the KAL this time…
But I cast on a shawl that’s just perfect for using up leftover yarn, so I couldn’t resist! 🌈✨
Each section uses about 20g, divided into 4 blocks — just 5g per block! Such a great way to make the most of those scraps 🧶🧵
I’ve decided this month is all about scrap yarn projects, and I’m loving knitting while remembering all the past projects these yarns came from 💭💕
How do you use up your leftover yarn? I’d love to hear your tips! 😊💡
スタートが遅くなってしまい追いつけそうもないので今回のデザイナーさん主催のKALには参加せず…
でも、余り糸を使ったプロジェクトにぴったりのショールなので編み始めました🌈✨
1セクションで約20g、1つのセクションで4ブロック編むので、1ブロックたった5gあればOK！(全部で24個のセクション/96個のブロックになります)まさに余り糸を使い倒せるデザインです🧵
今月は「余り糸活用月間」と決めていて、いろんなプロジェクトの思い出に浸りながら手を動かしています💭🧶
みなさんは余り糸、どうやって消費していますか？
よかったらアイデア教えてくださいね〜☺️💡
