Knitting skills one-to-one

The session was really good. The session was focused on my specific questions and I felt able to move forward with my knitting. 

Work through your knitting troubles or learn new skills - it's up to you!

Question 1

What do you want your one to one to focus on?

Knitting - adjusting knitwear to fit a fuller bust

Julia Hicker

I loved it. I feel like I learned a lot. 

 MeLinda  Dennis

Wow, this class was awesome!  I learned so much from where to place adjustments to what kinds of patterns work best with different kinds of adjustments.  Jacki is patient and so helpful and answered questions I didn’t even know I had!  If you have curves that you  want to show off and make look great in your knits this class is a great tool. 

Kelly  Carnegie 

Jacki was absolutely wonderful at explaining how to adjust patterns, even ones with cables, to enable a better fit. She explained things thoroughly and I found her warm, welcoming and friendly. 

Susan Johnke

I've been a knitter for decades and thought I knew a lot about how to adjust for my 'unique' size. I learned SO much and feel more excited than ever to now go and make my knits fit better. Jackie not only taught the concepts of HOW to adjust your knitting but she also explained how that adjustment then looks on your body, including showing examples from her own knitwear. A MUST attend class for any busty knitter!

Laurayne Barber

Very informative class. I learned a lot and will be putting this into practice to have better fitting knitwear 

Knitting - de-scarying colourwork

Clare Temple

Super friendly and helpful class with lots of clear demonstrations as well as the chance to talk through particular difficulties I have had.  

Karolin Struck

Great course with helpfull visuals and examples. Totally recommend for anyone trying to knit for larger busts!

Hope Love

Jackie leveled the workshop instruction to the specific expertise in the room (and we ranged from designer colleagues to intermediate knitter) and her methodology was immediately applicable for me---even on a sweater with a pattern on the front.  Much better fits from patterns that used to hang on me.  The workshop contained some last pieces of understandings which supported a shift in my final products: 
 I am now knitting sweaters that look like they were handmade for me, not just handmade by me.   Craftwear to couture in a few easy hacks.   And she explained the technique so clearly that I can also intuit how to apply the same sizing shifts in other categories of build.   Worth every penny and minute of my time the workshop required.   

Anne Bright

This was a great introduction to the idea that knits could be made to fit those of us with larger busts. Explanations were thorough and clear leaving me feeling I could tackle making this work in future!
Thank you Jacki.

Rebecca Clow

I'm a new knitwear designer and it's important to me that my patterns work for as many bodies as possible. I'm not blessed with a fuller bust, but I learned so much about the common issues that knitting patterns can have for bustier people. There were great examples of how to apply shaping techniques to a host of different garments and a great discussion at the end. 

I've not put any learnings into practice yet, but knowing I can go back and access the slides in the future is a valuable resource!
