Original design by Heather Lodinsky, big girl modifications by Lisa Shroyer
This time, The Interweave Goddesses all try on the same sweater for
the greater good of knitting, to demonstrate how the sweater looks with
various amounts of ease, both positive and negative.
|
As
you can see, the same sweater looks very different on different women!
We give general suggestions for customization for your inspiration.
Only you can choose how you want your sweaters to fit and which
customizations will work best for you and your beautiful self!
