The Woolly Badger knitting podcast, ep 5 - full bust adjustments and escape from sleeve island.

In the first Woolly Badger knitting podcast of 2023, I'm showing off the previously lingering knitting projects I finished at the end of last year as an excuse to talk about full bust adjustments in knitting. I'm talking about stitch count-based bust adjustments - adding more width to the front, just where you need it - and how they differ from horizontal bust darts. And why you might want to adjust patterns to add in both, to get the best possible fit for your hand knit sweater.

I'm also talking about my escape from sleeve island - or, to put it more simply, how I finally finished a load of projects that just needed one sleeve doing, and cleared a load of WIPs in time for the new year.

Plus, there's quite a bit of distraction and chat about my lovely new cat, who may or may not decide to put in some guest appearances on the podcast soon.

If you've got questions about anything - in particular the full bust adjustment - let me know in the comments. I run online workshops all about getting your knitwear to fit if you're full busted, and you can find the latest dates at thewoollybadger.com
