You. I think they mean me. I am surprised that everyone doesn't know me, or that anyone does. Depending on the day. ⠀ ⠀ I am a knitwear designer. I moved from sewn fashion designing to knits in the 90s. Knits allows me to create the fabric, and the silhouette. I am so fortunate to wake up every day ready and excited to pursue my ideas, creating hand knitting patterns, classes, and various other creative ideas. Needless to say, I am extremely grateful to Mitch, who makes it possible for me to do this. He somehow believes in me even when I don't. If you want to know more, click the link in profile and see what I say on my website. You can even download my CV, which needs to be updated! This is me modeling. #meetthemaker #meetthemakers #designprocess #creativebiz #shopsmall #smallbusinessowner #shopsmallbusiness #shopindependent #marchmeetthemaker2019 #meetthemakerday9 #knitweardesigner #fashionknitting #knittedfashion #alwaysdesigning #alwaysknitting #knitweardesigners #knittersofinstagram #whatinspiresyou #knittingpatterns #kniteducation⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu2Fev_F6ex/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4ts3utjtasas

Creativity is always adapting. Methods, mind set, ideas, directions, concepts, interests. I find myself going in a direction, and then finding that there is this, and that, and then that adaptation keeping the idea fresh and intriguing.🧧🎍🌺 #marchmeetthemaker #knittinglife #knitweardesigners #makers #knitters #knitting #knitting_inspiration #knitwear #knittersoftheworld https://www.instagram.com/p/CqW74rXrSYG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Time always rushes on, and I totally understand how we have to set our priorities and manage time. You can take care of a couple of things by attending Behind the Curtain . . . Sizing & Fit, where Jamie and I will lead a discussion about what is fit. 1) clarification, 🤔2) self-care (fun, interesting, social), 🥳 3) begin to think in new ways about clothing and fit. Free. Sign up using the link in bio. ⠀ Can't make it? ⏳Sign up before 1/25 at 4 pm and a recording will be available for a limited time. #knittersofinstagram #knitweardesigners #knitdesignersofinstagram #techeditorsofinstagram #fattestknitters #biopicknitters #sizeinclusiveknitting #knittinglove #garmentknitting #sweaterknitting #sweaterknittersofinstagram #fashionknit #fitforyourbody #knittinginspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CnyWIg9LncA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We've been talking a lot about fit and sizing here. I am trying to draw more, plus I have a pencil I like sitting by my computer (who would think that would matter?). I was doodling while working on my blog and wanted to see if I could do a boob without very many lines. Added shading doesn't count. I lengthened the arm after this photo. Then I moved on to calculating percentages.⠀ ⠀ I can teach you grading and fit for any body. Boobs are just one consideration. Large/small shoulders? Well padded/not padded? Hips/no hips? Large boobs/large rib cage? Seriously, it all depends on how things look from where you are. #knittofit #knittofityou #knitweardesign #knitweardesignersofinstagram #knitweardesigners ##knittersofinstagram #knittinglove #knittingpatterns #knittingprojects #alwaysknitting #passionknit #fashionknit #fashionknitwear #fashionknits #knitting_inspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CZlDPluLydu/?utm_medium=tumblr

No matter what body type(s) you focus on, A System of Grading will open doors you didn't expect.⠀ ⠀ I absolutely never get tired of talking about fit, grading, and making nice things. If you are a designer, ASOG can organize the grading and pattern-writing processes for you. It takes time to make this work properly, but once in place ASOG can remove doubts, allow you to expand your sizing comfort zone while doing what you do best, and what your customer wants from you. Plus you get access to everything I know.⠀Link in bio. #gradingknitwear #knitdesign #knitdesignersofinstagram #knitweardesignersofinstagram #knitweardesigners #knittingsizing #knitsizing #sizingwithspreadsheets #sizeinclusivestitches #knittingpatternsizeinclusivity https://www.instagram.com/p/CZTB1NYr_wM/?utm_medium=tumblr
