  • Episode 3 - Custom Fit

    Today we're talking Bess' The Ruffle Addendum - and how a sweater can be well graded and knit by a talented knitter and still end up poorly fitting. Join us for a discussion of some basic fit modifications for your handknits, including armhole depth and bust darts.


    Find Jen's pattern page for The Ruffle Addendum.

    Bess mentions her pattern, The Julie Cardigan, also knit with Hummingbird from Sweet Sparrow.

    About

    In this episode, we talk about our experiences substituting yarn in your handknit sweaters, understanding the drawbacks and limitations of single-ply, and the value of knitting forever vs. creating something beautiful but more ephemeral.
