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

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”

Blocking Day!

Yesterday was blocking day. In Colorado my studio was large enough that my blocking table was always set up. Here that isn’t the case. When I need to block something here I have to set up my table on the back patio. I watch weather for rain, not often and wind. Neither were happening yesterdayContinue reading “Blocking Day!”

I chose 4 popular knitting techniques to show how charts can be used. Color work, texture,lace and cables. I still need to block the swatches and make some changes to the chart. OtherwiseContinue reading “Chart Reading Swatches”
