One Wild Designs – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Our best advice for knitting your first sweater.

We've gone back and updated two of our early releases.

Common fit issues and modifications.

Today we’re covering a bundle of measurements that’s often left out of fit conversations - the athletic build. We define exactly what we mean when we talk about an athletic build, and what kind of adjustments this body type could benefit from in raglan, drop shoulder, and circular yoke construction.

We also reveal all the details of our upcoming (as in, coming out tomorrow, Oct. 5th) collection, Body of Work!

Wanna meet us IRL?

We’ll be at Wool and Folk (meetup details TBD). You can find Jen at the Queen City Yarns booth at both the preview event and on the day of, and Bess exploring around the festival. Find tickets here: https://www.woolandfolk.com/

We’ll also be Sheep and Wool for a meetup, on the hill on Sunday @10:30am for Sunday brunch-style knitting.

Formula patterns auto-generate from software or a spreadsheet - you enter your measurements and get something customized. 

We are often asked what we think of these patterns and if we plan to adopt this method of pattern writing, but we are often asked in spaces where we don't have a lot of nuance. So today, we are taking some time to share our thoughts, identify the tradeoffs of this type of pattern writing, and to idealize about what we would need these patterns to be capable of for us to embrace them for our brands.
