Roll film…

Here’s a peek behind the recording scenes. I put this set up in my dining room and shot some bits and pieces for workshops and an upcoming blog category. I kept it simple and my clothes simple as well so that I can replicate it all again. I am enjoying filming and editing. I can’tContinue reading “Roll film…”

Mirrored or Identical…

The Brick and Mortar mitts are seamed up the side when you have reached the desired size. These mitts are seamed as mirrored. That means when viewed from the top the bricks are mirror images of each other. These mitts are seamed as identical. That means when viewed from the top the bricks look theContinue reading “Mirrored or Identical…”

Basic Mitts

I got an order for some mitts recently for someone who loves color but wanted them to warmer than fingering weight yarn. So I started playing with DK weight yarn and below is where I’m currently at. I haven’t decided if I want to write up the pattern yet or not. It worked up quicklyContinue reading “Basic Mitts”

So it begins…

I received happy mail from Canada today. 2 skeins of DK weight non super-wash wool. I love the yarn from Campfiber Yarns! She does some great things and you should check it out. These 2 skeins are hopefully going to become accessories. Hats and mitts, both crochet and knit. I have no clue what theContinue reading “So it begins…”

One Woman Show

Here at Azariah’s Fibre Arts I do 95% of the work. I hire tech editors and occasionally have help from family for photography but mostly it’s all me. This means shooting and editing all my photos and videos. I do the graphic design pieces as well from my logo to pattern layout. Marketing and socialContinue reading “One Woman Show”

Swatching for Coming Workshop

Here is a swatch in DK weight of a bedspread I’ve been working on in size 10 crochet thread. The workshop is going to be how to use a pattern recipe, so that you can use the thread or yarn and hook combination that you desire. The pattern will have numbers for starting points forContinue reading “Swatching for Coming Workshop”

Math, definitely part of my process…

Getting these hats ready to go to the tech editor. Gauge is always part of a part and is minimal basic math. That’s how many stitches and rows or rounds per inch so that you can replicate the work I’ve done and it actually fit. When there are different sizes then there is more mathContinue reading “Math, definitely part of my process…”

Brick and Mortar in DK

I decided to try making the Brick and Mortar mitts, knit version, in DK weight yarn. So far, so good. Less stitches and rows to get the same size finished piece. It goes faster and they will be a bit thicker than the ones made with fingering weight yarn. I chose to do just twoContinue reading “Brick and Mortar in DK”

Unpopular opinion: Swatching is helpful

Warning you may disagree with this post. Swatching is helpful and prevents heartache later on down the knitting and crocheting road. I recently recorded a video about why I think seatching is helpful and thought I’d share some of the stills I took during that shoot here. These swatches are examples of some of theContinue reading “Unpopular opinion: Swatching is helpful”

Working Out of the Studio

Now that I have finally settled into some routine here in Las Cruces, with everyone at work, school and accepting that my paying job is going to keep changing, I decided to add in working out of the studio once a week. Last week I went to a coffee shop that is so close toContinue reading “Working Out of the Studio”
