==>> Details when Deborah Newton does present.... Good Measure: Knit a Perfect Fit Every Time!
No matter how well you knit, if the sizing for your garment is wrong, nothing works. Deborah will review the issues that affect good fit in knitted garments-- machine or hand knits. How to look at measurements for both body and sweaters to develop schematic drawings for the best fit. Learn how to use these schematics together as a way to choose patterns and sizes. Learn the best way to analyze a pattern and adapt it for your own measurements. Learn Deborah's process for approaching all kinds of projects with fit in mind.
