Coming late here! My first time.
Sue living in Japan, nice to meet you all💕
Welcome Susan :)
So glad I found you, I have not made a sweater that fits me perfectly. I am definitely going to get a few of your patterns and watch more videos. What is the wardrobe toolbox? I am in the western mountains of Idaho🙋🏼♀️
Wardrobe Toolbox is a friendly programme and community - you can find out more here: www.wardrobetoolbox.com
Libby that BC bio balance is absolutely amazing yarn. I’ve got a summer top from it - tee shirt style. It’s so light and beautiful 💚
That's great to hear!
Thank you so much for the invaluable info Libby
Thank you for your Podcast and the sizing solution Libby, that means now I can go back and watch it again and in my case again, slow learner here but it does get through eventually especially when you hear it enough. Thank you for all you do. Take
Care.
It's funny how you hear different things each time - I like to rewatch things too :)
Try and look on "Misknits" by Pia Trans... both in english and danish❤
Lovely podcast :)
Why designers do not include hip measurements? Whay if the hip is wider thab the bust?
If the hip is wider than the bust, then I include it. But where the bust and hip are the same circumference, then only the bust measurement will be shown. Hope that helps!
Thanks for explaining, many designers say to pick a size larger than bust size which confuses me
It can be very confusing - remember to look for the "finished measurements" and then compare those to your own measurements plus the "ease" you'd like. It takes a bit of practice to get a feel for it.
I have made a couple of round yoke tops out of bio balance wore them all summer
Ooh nice!
My problem is that I have pretty well no bust but I do have hips & I don't want to knit a tent shape [ by casting on more stitches around the bottom end ] so I always knit a garment that fits my hips & is too, too big up top.
Can't see a way arounds that.
A-line shaping through the body might be your friend - just a gentle slope from your hips to your underbust through the body. Or vice versa if you're working top-down. It's something we cover in Wardrobe Toolbox too :)
Love your jumper - do you have a pattern for it?
Thank you! I’m wearing Maiden. You can find her on my website: www.trulymyrtle.co.nz/shop/maiden, and on Ravelry: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/maiden-2
Greetings from South Australia. You came up on my feed. Say 2" ease, is it 1" either side of the bust? I want to knit a top with differing dyelots. Would helix knitting work to reduce evident differences of the colours?
The ease is spread evenly around the bust. Try holding a tape measure around yourself to get the idea? Regarding the different dye lots - certainly try helix knitting. If you're noticing very pronounced striping, you may want to add a third skein - it's more awkward but can make a real difference overall.
My granddaughter bust size is 34, but her shoulders are wide. What size do you think I show knit? Thank you.
Choose a size to fit her shoulders by taking her upper bust measurement like I demonstrate and then adding ease to that. A good fit at the shoulders with a little more fullness at the bust should look good.
Wish I could measure her upper body but she lives in Maryland. Thank you for assistance.
