Leah Learns Design
Follow along as Leah learns what it takes to design a sweater with the help of our design director, Tabetha Hedrick!
How do you learn to design a sweater? Where would you even start? These are the questions our video editor, Leah Churchley brought to Tabetha Hedrick when she found a cardigan she just had to make!
In this series, Tabetha will be leading Leah through the process of dreaming up and knitting up a design from scratch. Tabetha and Leah will go over:
- conceptualizing a design through sketching and swatching
- determining measurements, row counts, and stitch counts
- troubleshooting tips
- finishing
- taking your design further with other sizes, finalizing it for sale, etc.
We hope you’ll join us on this journey and perhaps dip your toes into the world of knitwear design yourself!

Classes are so important to me to keep up with what is out there and to keep me inspired to #trynewthings. As a #deaf person, this can be challenging. I truly enjoy taking classes at #schoolofsweetgeorgia because their captions are fantastic and they also offer transcripts. I can spend more time on learning and refreshing my skills instead of struggling with trying to lip read and watch the actual instruction. #spinnersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #crochet #spindlespinning #weaving #dyersofinstagram #somuchmore #deaflife

Following many of our online live lectures and Zoom events, we share recordings at the SOS site so members who were unable to take part live can still join in and learn along with what was discussed during the meetup.
Now available for viewing, you can find the replay video of Laura Fry's Drafts and Drafting live lecture! Laura dives into the principles of learning how to read weaving drafts with plenty of practical tips to put into practice. For example, do you know why it’s important to read the introduction in your weaving books? Each author uses different looms, which means different tie-ups. Learn more about this and much more at Laura's fabulous lecture replay at the School–direct link in bio »
Now live at the School, level up your crochet skills under the guidance of instructor Charlotte Lee @charlotte_milkteacup with our new Crochet Increases and Decreases course!
Following Charlotte's previous Crochet Basics course where we took the first steps in learning how to crochet, students will now learn new techniques for shaping crochet while practicing on eight different triangles and five mini shawls. Along with learning how to work increase and decrease crochet stitches, Charlotte will talk about choosing yarn, hook comparisons, plus help you with how to get gauge for the course projects. By the end, you'll have all of the skills needed to make the Yona Cowl pattern (shown here) which is included in the course.
Find more info and join in the crochet fun at the School! Direct link to the course page can be found at our IG bio »
