Finished sweater

[ninthraven]

Earlier this month, I finished my first sweater. I've only been knitting for about a year and a half now. My friend, modeling the sweater, loved it. But, of course, I see that I need to either pick patterns for busty gals or learn how to measure and adjust a pattern for the person I am making the sweater for.

Big Girls Knit is a great resource, especially for adding short row shaping.

Cool! I had seen that book, but hadn't gotten around to purchasing it. I think I shall do so now!

Big Girl Knits has some really good advice on resizing and revising for bustiness.

Thanks!

I'll have to chime in and say that Big Girl Knits is, dopey name notwithstanding, worth the price of admission. Even for those who are not big but merely curvy, its advice on shaping to suit your curves, wherever they may be located, is excellent.

In addition, Jenna Wilson has had some excellent articles in her Thinking Beyond the Pattern series in the last three issues of Knitty, which I would certainly recommend.

Finally, Interweave Knit's Knitting Daily newsletter has had some nice information on shaping with bust darts, which is worth checking out.

Thank you for the resource leads.
