Being a larger gal who's also quite short (5' 2"), I have to make adjustments to almost every sweater I knit. While the main tool in making those adjustments is the ever-important gauge swatch, there are lots of other little things that I pay attention to as well. Ease is one of those "little...

Marilyn has been at Interweave...

LOSE THAT CABLE NEEDLE! My current project in Kathleen's Knit-a-Long —the Central Park Hoodie —is a cable pattern, and I'm saving tons of time doing the cables without a needle. In the fall 2009 issue of Interweave Knits there's a Beyond the Basics lesson on this technique, and...
