I really enjoyed knitting the Tomato. I would love to know about more top down sweaters.

I too enjoy this blog, I love the way you bring out your world into our computer screens all over the world, and make it seem you are writing to just one person. I also love the comments, and how helpful they are, especially in clarifying something you have began.

Keep up Knitting Daily, and may it keep growing.

Central Park Hoodie is available in the fall 2006 of Knitscene magazine.

Your post a while back about using negative ease was a true revelation for me, after having knit a camisole that came out much too baggy. (Like you, I was knitting for the imaginary bigger girl.) Is there a way to add darts to a finished garment? You mentioned sewing darts like your mom taught you. How do you do that, since my mom never taught me that? I'm also looking forward to reading about your buddha belly darts. Congratulations on the success of Knitting Daily! Thanks a million for all your hard work.

As a new 50-60ish knitter I'm sincerely enjoying the whole knitting community. Wondering though whether those of my age (still young at heart but not THAT young) might expect some patterns appropriate to our maturity BUT never frumpy! Yours, and ever hopeful, Jan

I'd like to try those flowers, it would be a fun small project to do in between the bigger ones. Is a pattern available?

Just a clarification about bust-darts, because there's a lot of disinformation going on out there in blogland ...

Short-rows create horizontal bust-darts, but the type you added are vertical bust-darts; they are not the same thing and they don't do the same thing! One cannot be exchanged for another and get the same effect. Horizontal bust-darts provide additional length required by a larger bust projection, and vertical bust-darts provide additional width.

Most of us "big girls" know that we frequently need both, but that most knitted fabrics have enough flexibility to accommodate the boobages without one or the other. Also, some designs more readily accommodate one or the other. Decisions about which type to add have to take all that into consideration.

With all the talk that bust-darts are getting online lately, I'm increasingly frustrated by knitters hearing "short-rows" and thinking that is all there is to know about bust-darts. Thanks for letting me clarify!

Another vote for the Central Park hoodie. I have also been looking for that pattern. Thanks again for this fantastic site, and for all of your great ideas!

Am so impressed with your idea of turning a hot tomato into a roasted tomato.

Am very keen to copy it (having a lack of imagination and talent myself, you see) - but am currently bogged down with knitting for my kids, friends kids and a multitude of new babies ... and then it's Christmas...and then it's birthdays...I think it may be time for all this altruistic knitting to cease and for me to selfishly knit for myself! Am avidly reading your fabulous site and wishing for more peaceful hours in my day so I can get on with some knitting. Great stuff, thanks very much.

I do not have comments particularly about the latest post but I wanted to say how much I am enjoying being a part of Knitting Daily. Keep up the good work.

I just recently signed up for your Knitting Daily newsletter. I enjoy reading it and welcome any hints or knitting info. I have one complaint - I wanted to see what free patterns you were offering, but it wouldn't let me get there unless I was agreeing to sign up for some sponsors, then it again made me do it on another page. Now I am receiving more bulk mails and I never even got to the free patterns. You need to make it easier for us.
