How to Modify Patterns for the Perfect Fit I Knitting Podcast Episode 8

Описание: ✨ In this episode of my knitting podcast, I’m diving into the beauty of modifying patterns to create knits that truly feel like *yours*. From finishing my Venilia Tee by Sari Nordlund to sharing my Ingrid Sweater by PetitKnit, plus works-in-progress like the Slanting Slipover and Diona Tee, this episode is full of inspiration, yarn talk, and honest reflections on size inclusivity, fit, and personal style.

We’ll cover:
✔️ How small tweaks transform a pattern into something that fits you
✔️ Finished objects and what I’ve loved most about knitting them
✔️ My latest works in progress — including modifications and yarn choices
✔️ Why size-inclusive knitting matters and how I’m approaching it
✔️ My most worn knit for August: the Love Note sweater by Tin Can Knits

Whether you’re a beginner knitter or have a closet full of handmade sweaters, this is a cozy sit-down to spark ideas, encourage you to bend the “rules,” and inspire you to make each project truly your own.

🧶 Why I Knit
For me, knitting is more than just following a pattern—it's about creativity, self-expression, and making something truly my own. I love adapting designs, playing with Norwegian wool, and experimenting with different knitting techniques to create handmade wardrobe pieces that fit seamlessly into my life. Whether it’s modifying a colorwork sweater, adjusting knitting gauge, or designing my own knitted wedding dress, I believe knitting should bring joy, curiosity, and endless inspiration. Let’s celebrate the art of making together!
