Leah Learns Design
Welcome to Leah learns Design. 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 thought of a cardigan she just had to make!
In this series, Tabetha leads Leah through the process of dreaming up and knitting up a design from scratch. Tabetha and Leah 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!
Leah uses SweetGeorgia Yarns Superwash DK for her sweater, but you are welcome to explore any of the many yarns available to you!

サポートスピンドルでの紡ぎ、3日目
コリデールのcarded battを紡いでいます。Long drawでwoolenな感じの糸のはず…（覚えたての単語たち）
今はドロップスピンドルよりもなんとなくサポートスピンドルが楽しいような気がします。
アナンダさんで購入した、インドの職人さんの作ったスピンドル（堅木）です。
糸はぼこぼこですが、それがやがて味に見えてくる…手染め糸のムラを楽しむみたいに、糸自体のムラも楽しめてくるのが不思議です。
早く何か編みたいな～！

If you’re ready to buy your first spinning wheel, you may be feeling more overwhelmed than excited, as well-intended voices offer spinning-term-laden and often contradictory opinions. Here’s my advice: Relax. There is no “best wheel for new spinners.” There’s only the wheel that’s best for you and your own situation at the time of purchase.

Trying to remember what I wore for a three-days film so you`d think it`s all done in one go 😜. If you are wondering what we are filming…check out the reel schoolofsweetgeorgia . Sneak peaks of the #amigurumi projects coming to SOS!
The crochet cardigan was one of the earliest pieces I did with sweetgeorgia ! It`s Tough Love Sock in Bewitched which sadly discontinued a while back.

My most recent finished sweater, made from handspun. Made from. 100% Polwarth fibre 2-ply woolen spun so it`s super light and extra squishy and maybe just a little too warm for our unseasonably warm weather. The colours make me want to drink a peach Bellini.
Pattern: The Weekender by dreareneeknits
Fibre for yarn: Suck It Biped by fibregoddess
