This week I tell you a refinement of my earlier sweater-sizing scheme, which relies on the one and only Elizabeth Zimmermann to save me (and you) from having to redesign a sleeve cap AND sleeve shaping. Whoo hoo. I'm working on one right now, and will let you know how it turns out.
Although, I won't be able to really tell you anything until September, because I am taking the week after next off from work to finish my thesis and am trying to pare down distractions.
Very Cool Link thanks to Jill, who left a comment. (Thank you, Jill!!!!)
Also, Melissa Wherle has a sweater design in Magknits August of 2005 and has offered it to us for deconstruction/resizing/whatever. Please leave a comment and let me know what you would like me to "do" with this wonderful offer.

Thank you very much for linking to my geeky knitting site. I am hoping that time will allow more frequent updating.
Did you ever find any tesselated knitting? Lucy Neatby at Tradewind Knitwear Designs has at least two tesselated designs, a Duck Sweater and Fish Hanging. These are both intarsia works, but a knit-purl brocade fabric would also work with some tesselations.
You're welcome. I think it's a hoot. Your comment is my first hint of tesselated knitting, other than a long-ago post on Yarn Harlot about a woman who made what I think must be the fish hanging out mentioned.
I am having trouble downloading your podcasts from itunes. What happens is that it starts to download, everything looks like it is going normally (i download lots of podcasts nearly daily) and it stops donwloading shortly after beginning-sometimes 25 seconds into it, sometimes a bit longer, but never the entire post. I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem with your itunes link-this hasn't happened for me with any other podcasts i download from itunes-if you have any advice you can reach me at Cpmigda@aol.com Thanks
I'm terribly sorry to hear you're having problems, especially since I don't seem to and can't replicate it. Do you have the newest version of iTunes? What kind of computer are you using? Do you want me to mail you a CD?
Magknits sweater: I don't know if this counts as sizing but I would like to do it in a bluky yarn.
What I want to know is how to calculate sleeve stripes so they match up like in the Mag knits sweater. I've seen another striped sweater on somebody's blog with very thin stripes and they matched perfectly too. It was awesome
Thanks so much for your expertise. I'm a fairly new knitter about to knit a larger version of a cardigan in Big Girl Knits. I will have to figure it all out on my own so I'm glad for your podcast covering this. I'll have to get E. Zimmerman's book. I think it should be a keeper!
