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 the Mastering Gauge 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! Look for it under Course Downloads!

If there’s a universal truth in the world of fibre arts, it’s that fibre artists love colour! Embroidery on knit fabric is one of the oldest methods of adding colour because it works perfectly with the structure. As multicraftual makers, we have the skills (or the ability to learn) to combine crafts for that much more joy and colour!
Continue reading Ruth Nguyen's @redearthdesignstudio new article 'Add Colour with Embroidery on Knit Fabric' where Ruth hopes the demo will leave you feeling inspired and excited about the possibilities for embroidering your knits!

The Craft Revival is Sunday, November 27 from 10 am to 4 pm. Makes by Momma Bakes will be located at the Red Lion Smokehouse. Come on out and check out her high quality winter hats. Featured here are variations on the Hudson Bay design.#makesbymommabakes #craftrevivaltbay #sosknitting
Luxury Hats.
These three beauties are made using Malabrigo Rasta, a 100% Uruguayan Merino Wool. Every hat made with this wool is a one of a kind design because of the dying process.
If you are looking for a unique, soft, squishy hat that you can wear for many years, one of these luxury hats may be for you. Contact me for details, please.
