Knit 15, Episode 1

Fit your sweater perfectly around your shoulders and the rest will follow. In Part 1 of this episode, Renee Callahan AKA East London Knit, makes the case for abandoning our preoccupation with bust measurements as the starting point for measuring up for the perfect fit.

Beyond shoulders or any other part of our bodies for that matter, lies the engineering of the stitches of our knitted fabric. In part 2, you'll hear  yarnsub.com's Wendy Peterson asking us to follow the yarn on its journey to that exasperatingly loose stitch at the end of the row to solve a 30 year puzzle on why it’s not just leaning, that decreases do differently. In the talk Wendy refers to a number of pictures which you can see on the Knit 15 page of the Wild and Woolly website.
