Custom Toe Up Socks
Learn how to knit a pair of Custom toe-up socks at any gauge, using any yarn with Tabetha Hedrick.
Learn in the Custom Toe Up Socks course, step by step, everything you need to know about knitting toe-up socks using any yarn and for any size foot. If you’ve seen how fun, portable and satisfying sock knitting can be, and want to learn how to make them yourself, then this is the course for you.
Once you get the sock bug, it never lets go!
In this workshop you’ll learn:
- taking measurements and how to calculate the numbers to get a perfect fitting sock.
- sock anatomy and how to knit a faux circular gauge swatch.
- Judy’s Magic Cast On technique.
- how to shape the toe, work gusset increases and knit a short row heel.
- how to work an elastic bind off, and so much more!

One of these hats is not 🎶 like the other ones 🎵…
Featuring the Cozy Cable Toque – one of Momma Bakes’ most popular designs. This toque fits the smaller head and also has tons of stretch for those with larger heads. Its best quality, though, is how very warm and cozy this toque keeps you.
The multicolour toque features merino wool and is one of a kind.

I am delighted to share that I have collaborated with schoolofsweetgeorgia on a colourwork knitting course "Knit Colourwork Mittens." My course will go live November 23rd on their membership-based online school for the fibre-arts. Launched in September 2018, SOS was created to allow people everywhere to access affordable and comprehensive fibre-arts lessons from their own homes. Online video-classes allow you to stop, replay, and pause along with your own learning. With the course you also get a download of the pattern itself, in this case "Deery Me Mittens," and a comprehensive handbook that details the skills and techniques used in the workshop.

Sock knitting is a super fun, portable, awesome activity, but there’s one decision you’ll need to make before you even start—who knew?! Are you going to knit your socks from the top down? Or the toe up? If there’s anything that gets a knitter into a passionate discussion, it’s the top-down vs. toe-up debate. The great news is that there is no wrong way!
Along with all of the SOS lesson content to help guide you along with whichever style you choose, at the @sweetgeorgia blog, Tabetha Hedrick @tabismiles breaks down the differences so you can choose the one that’s right for you! Follow our link in bio to read the full post!
