Grid is an exception and I don’t know why it isn’t sized larger. Perhaps it’s because we started smaller. We do get complaints about patterns not going small enough too. When we size up it’s not a simple matter, some width is put in the armhole, some in the shoulder, some in the neck and of course the sleeve must be changed accordingly.

We have thought of putting together a collection pieces from our free patterns, sized in the next 2-4 sizes only. Perhaps you have suggestions for pieces we should include. (I’ll put Grid on the list).

I don’t know of a book written to teach continental knitting but I am sure a search on line would produce many good books and web instructions as well.

Grid for example, 48″ finished bust is too small. I wear a 48 bra, so I need larger. Please tell us how to size up. Also, iknit American style, but wish to learn continental. What book is recommened as best.
Thanks

I know you’re a busy girl, but I was wondering if you could help me with where I can find one of your patterns … saw it on Vogue Knitting’s site under Sweater Map, it was a long cobalt jacket with a godet and I LOVED it, (not as much as the beet, though, I just can’t wear that…or maybe I can??!)

Anyway, can I get my hands on the pattern, and the picture?The website is still up (http://www.vogueknitting.com/vkm/?q=node/138) but the picture is no longer linked and I can’t find it anywhere..I need to show it to my mom/knitting mentor before she’ll agree to help me…

Thanks for all that you do, your designs inspire!

I like the Stanfield book, too. Not only for the stitch patterns that other books don’t have, but also because they’re knit up in cream-colored yarns so you can clearly see the patterns, and–best of all–they’re charted!
