Twisted Sisters Knit Sweaters
A Knit to Fit Workshop
Say goodbye to standard sweater sizes and predetermined knitting gauges!
Lynne Vogel's Knitter Fitter System is a two-part method of sweater
designing that lets you create patterns based on your own body measurements and
yarn gauge. The Fitter List records all your key body measurements and the
Sweater Map shows how those measurements translate to numbers of knitted
stitches and rows. In clear language, Lynn will guide you through all the
necessary steps to construct sweaters from botton to top (or top down), from
side to side, or a combination of directions. She'll teach you how to
make sucessful variations to necklines, sleeves, and shoulders, and
how to add color and stitch patterns, collars and edgings, no matter
what size you wear or yarn you want to use.
To show some of the infinite design possibilities,
members of the (mostly) West Coast knitting group, The Twisted
Sisters show how Lynne's Knitter Fitter System can:
* make every type of sweater imaginable-cardigans, pullovers, tunics, and vests
* be adapted to different yarn, proportions, neckline styles, sleeve styles, and collar and edging types
* provide a foundation for infinite color and stitch-pattern variations
* enable the knitter to adjust each increasingly challenging project
to their needs regardless of body size or knitting gauge
Lynn Vogel is the author of The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook. If she isn't dyeing,
spinning, knitting, crochting, or weaving, you might try looking for her on the many woodland trails around Sewanee, Tennesse, with her husband James, and dog, Monk.
Or she might be teaching a workshop in your neighborhood or pickin' and grinnin' with a few friends at home.
