Mastering Gauge
Learn the best methods for creating a gauge swatch, master the sure-fire ways of measuring, and above all, learn all the tips and tricks you need to ensure that your knitting comes out perfect every single time.
Just mentioning the subject of “gauge” can make a knitter run for the hills, but gauging properly can help ensure that at the end of your project you don’t get a sweater you can swim in, or one that squeezes the breath out of you!
In this workshop, Tabetha Hedrick takes the frustration out of gauge swatching! You’ll learn the best methods for creating a gauge swatch, master the sure-fire ways of measuring, and above all, learn all the tips and tricks you need to ensure that your knitting comes out perfect every single time. These series of videos go in-depth on how to wash and block your swatches (and projects), as well as how the different fibres react to the various stitches, techniques, and tools available. By the end, you aren’t going to worry any more and you are definitely going to be excited to knit with a fresh, renewed view of the end goal.
You’ll also get the exclusive hat pattern featured in this workshop: Glas! Check for it under Course Downloads!

Do you you love knitting socks and are ready to adjust the fit and feel of your finished project? Perhaps you’re ready to up your game a bit in your next handknit pair? Tabetha will knock your socks off at our new SOS course for knitters Learn to Knit Heel & Toe Variations for Top Down Socks taught by Tabetha Hedrick @tabismiles!
In this workshop you’ll learn how to knit four heel flap variations and four toe variations, going over the construction techniques for each one. You will find thorough instructions on how to incorporate the heel into your own sock stitch count in the course workbook, and it’ll have a bit of math (very little) so you can plug in your own stitch counts for a perfectly custom fit.

Throughout the spring and summer, I steadily knit the Little Basic Cardi Fingering Weight. Even though most of it is what I would consider a mindless knit, I had to rip and re-knit portions of it a few times as I was travelling and surrounded by distractions. Knitting may be a slow craft but taking the time to double-check at any inflexion point in the pattern saves time. Ripping instead of pushing on is worth it if your finished garment becomes a piece you will keep reaching for. …

The Picot Bind Off is a fun way to add a bobble-like border to your projects using just cable cast ons and bind offs. You can get more distance between the stitches by binding off more stitches, or you can put them right next to each other by binding off less stitches. You can even make your picot points smaller by casting on a few stitches less, or bigger by casting on a few stitches more.
At out our new Picot Bind Off tutorial, Tabetha Hedrick @tabismiles shows how there can be lots of variety and variation, and how it can be such a fun way to border your knits!

#ProKnitTip :: Did you know that industry standard is five to seven knots or joins in a skein of yarn? I think I had a total of three for this whole sweater project and that was way more than what I usually encounter.
Joins in a skein of yarn don't signify a substandard product. Let's talk about how to deal with them.
I always cut them out. Here I didn't cut it as I was knitting, I just made a big loop and "rejoined" the yarn and kept on going; I didn't want to interrupt my knitting flow. Now I'll cut it and weave in the two ends.
How to you deal with joins in your knitting? Tell me in the comments.
This is one of the many tips I mention in my Fundamentals to Finishing Course over at schoolofsweetgeorgia. Membership to the School gives you unlimited access to my course along with all the other great offerings. #ad Tap the link in my bio to check it out!
