In the past, most clothing was made to fit the person who would wear it. Today, we are used to buying standardized sizes designed for an “average” body.

But knitters have something special – we create our own garments.

In this short Stranded Thought episode, Anne reflects on why understanding garment fit is one of the most empowering skills a knitter can develop. With just a few foundational concepts and the right tools, you can move from hoping a sweater will fit to knitting with confidence that it will.

Anne also shares a bit about the Perfect Fit workshop, where she teaches the simple tools that help knitters understand patterns, measurements, and adjustments so their garments truly fit the body they are made for.
