Oh, and check with your local yarn shop! Donna here at Berroco organizes what is called a try-on trunk show. This means that a yarn shop will be sent two sizes of a selection of garments that customers can try on in the shop. Very fun, and often surprising.

Hi, Cirilia here. You might have missed it but we have been making a concerted effort to feature larger sizes and curvier models:

And this post right here is an example of what blogs and Ravelry are so for–showing garments on lots of different body sizes. We’re even making an effort to feature a larger range of model sizes in next season’s pattern collection, hope you’ll enjoy the shift.

Hi Norah-

just looked at the latest KnitBits newsletter and was reminded how much I LOVE your designs, especially everything from Vol 5.

what makes it hard for me, like many women in the US I think, is that I’m not a waif and I’m curious what one of those garments would look like on a woman with a little more bust. would you ever consider working up a larger size and including it on the website with the other pictures and slide shows?

I’d be much more likely to knit them knowing which ones would flatter me.

thanks!!

Actually…I DID see you! Being sold at several booths! A friend of mine bought Suede and I bought Barbara’s Bold Red! I love it! Which booth were you working in? The skeins Abi picked up are lovely, btw.

Thanks again for the compliment on my sweater! I’m actually wearing it today – with my favorite green scarf and feeling like a million bucks….

If I baked, I’d be bringing you a pie Instead, I’ll have to owe you a drink! Thea
