Hi Anne, thank you for this thoughtful post. I completely agree with you about knitting the fabric you like as opposed to a specified gauge. Every yarn has its own characteristics and we have our own preferences. Knowing how to adjust accordingly is a knitting super power! Knitting is just so awesome!
Hi Anne, thank you for your fantastic thoughts on cardigans, and bodies. 4” of ease at FULL bust…lightbulb moment for me…
Two questions—may i ask what was the actual gauge of the pink sweater you knit (ok, the sport/mohair one too) I find that I always like both my fingering weight sweaters and my “carry a strand of kid silk mohair” knit at a tighter gauge than the designer recommends.
And…will you be offering the house sock blend again in the future?
Thank you so much for taking the the to write these newsletters!
This is the second time I have looked, and I just don't see how you can purchase the cardigan pattern on Ravelry. All I see is that the pattern is from an out-of-print book. Can you help?
I loved reading about your same sweater pattern different weights and looks. Especially about your 90-10 formula. Math is not something I’m great at and I never know how to take a pattern and change the yarn weight and pick the right size. I always have to do and see!
Thanks for sharing how you play with sizing—so simple and I need simple!
