Episode 356 - Adding Sizes to our Anniversary Patterns


Listen Later

For our 20th Anniversary, we revisited some of our 20 most popular patterns, and Abbye Meiklejohn helped rewrite and add sizes to a selection of our older garment patterns. She joins hosts Lee and Stacey to tell them about her process for rewriting existing patterns and expanding their size range while maintaining the original look and feel. Abbye also shares how she likes to approach grading patterns for a larger size and the difference between extending pattern sizes and the individual knitter customizing their sweater.    Our hosts also reveal some fears around steeking and pattern photoshoot sample disasters, and Abbye shares a few stories of her own, including singeing a pattern sample while steaming!   Game Day Cardigan pattern  Clapotis pattern Journey Tweed yarn  Colorwork knitting  Eldfell Pullover pattern  20th Anniversary Patterns  Wonderfluff yarn  Encircled ebook  Andi's Scandinavian magazine cover inspiration  Swish Bulky yarn  Abbye Meiklejohn  Wool and Pine  Chromatic Pullover  Gallatin Coat  Calluna Cardigan  Mazama Vest  Astera Cardigan Classic Lines Cardigan  Chroma yarns  Steeking  Wild Wind pattern  Lee's cut & graft adventure  Lopes pattern  Grafting with Kitchener Stitch  Three Season Cardigan pattern  Wool and Pine on Instagram    00:03 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast 00:21 Lee and Stacey have their knitting motivation back! 04:50 We’re having an office KAL with everyone knitting Eldfell 13:00 We revisited older patterns for the anniversary  15:42 Abbye Meiklejohn tells the podcast about the anniversary pattern she worked on. 18:02 Abbye made the biggest changes on Chromatic and shares why. 20:25 Abbye’s experience reworking other designers’ patterns. 25:02 Adding sizes and Abbye’s advice for designers who are extending their size range. 27:57 Changing ease trends and individual ease preferences.  30:30 Abbye’s favorite patterns to work on from our anniversary patterns 31:35 Our hosts reveal their steeking fears and other confessions 38:19 What Abbye is working on next and where to find her work with Wool and Pine. 41:23 Credits
