Dear Sandi,

THe link to the Charm Wrap is still not a working link (www.knittingdaily.com/.../Charm_Wrap_150-1.html) takes me to a "we're sorry this page doesn't exist" page.

I'm, too, looking for your version of tomato with the stripe at the empire placement. I'm working to jump to the "intermediate" knittiing from the easy knitting, but being a curvy size 40D makes it difficult to make sweaters that fit. I've been working on afghans, wraps, shawls, ponchos, and starting to work on sweaters and dresses for my daughters (13 and 10).

Thanks for your help, and I'm looking forward to seeing the pattern for the charm wrap!

Tere

The link to the PDF with the dart information for the Tomato sweater takes me to a non-existant page (www.knittingdaily.com/.../Charm_Wrap_150-1.html). Oops.

Hello, just curious to know if you had finished the Bust Dart PDF? A friend and I were talking about it last night. We are both interested in making the tomato; althought mine should probably be renamed Grape, since it will be in purple. But oh well. Also, I love your newsletters.

My weekend knitting started with the second of a pair of Jaywalkers for my husband (started while waiting for HP7!) and continues with a Sweater ornament from Charmed Knits to commemorate *spoiler deleted*.

I too look forward to the PDF on darts as I am a rather full figured gal too. Thanks so much, I love your letter and the magazine.

This may be another small thing to think about in regard to darts: I have a friend that used to work in a word processing dept in a college. One research paper she had to type up for a student had information about breasts in it (not sure what class the student was in), but it mentioned that most bras for both well endowed and small breasts had the apex of the bra in about the same place, facing basically forward. In this paper the research showed that most small breasts are spread out more (or separated further apart) and are actually more to the side of the chest so the apex of each breast faces more to the side and not toward the front. So with the center area between the breasts more spread out or wider than a well endowed sister the placement of darts would be farther apart.

This is why most small breasted women cannot find a bra that fits them correctly.

This may be a silly question, but what is wraps per inch? I'm new to knitting (just started this last January), but have crocheted for years and have never run across this term before. Could somebody explain it for me? Thanks!

I love the bust darts - being a busty gal myself. Some of the math and ideas behind the shaping would be a great interim. My degree is in philosophy, not garment design...should have switched majors. That said, this is all so new and complex (which I thoroughly enjoy) but I need some more of the reasoning for what goes where, how and why...thanks for the website and the connections. Interweave strikes gold again!
