Eileen:

When I clicked the KAL area it also took me right back to the same discussion area.

Help!  I'm having the same problem.  The link takes you in circles.  And when I go directly to the French Girl Website, locate the book (which is now available), guess where it takes me?  Right back to where I started.

Please fix the link!  I'm starting to get dizzy from going in circles!  :o)

I've done as you suggested twice and I arrive back at the post page.  Any chance this will be fixed. P. Jehle

 I also wonder how to join the KAL. I am too wandering around in circles. Please contact me on flowermoon@hotmail.com with more information.

I have just ordered the book and I am looking forward to be one member in this KAL.

 I just purchased this book and I'm waiting for it to arrive.  Unfortunately, I'm having the same problem everyone else is.

You know, even doing the MATH (which I love doing, and yet I understand the massive diss it gets from people who don't) doesn't insure you will end up with a wearable garment.  The grading of a garment (increasing the size, as from medium to large to XL and more) is not just making all measurements larger, it has to do with increasing bust size just a little while leaving the shoulders THE SAME and having waist shaping disappear and hip sizing increase much more.  If you just increase all measurements you end up with a non-fitting sack.  I advise Big Girl Knits as help for those who really want a garment to fit!
