Through the Designer's Eyes: Forecasting Your Sweater's Story

Knitting sweaters is most satisfying when we are happy with the outcome. In this session with Jen Parroccini, we’ll talk about how to evaluate and interpret the information available to us - and when to ask for more. We’ll cover:

• Schematics and how they relate to your measurements
• The role of ease
• Whether your size will look like the modeled size
• Spotting design elements that might not work for you (such as insufficient front neck depth, or too much fabric in the underarm)
• Gathering information from official photos
• Weighing and interpreting other knitters’ projects

If you've ever been intimidated to start your first sweater, felt overwhelmed by the endless pattern options, or ended up with a finished garment that didn’t quite turn out as you envisioned, this Fiberside Chat is for you – because honestly, we've all been there and don't want to go back!
