Book description
It’s time to welcome big girls to the knitting lifestyle party! Real women with curves: come together and knit. Amy R. Singer and Jillian Moreno (big girls themselves) have worked with the best designers to create a selection of patterns that suit big girls perfectly. No butt-cuppers or boobhuggers in the bunch. No frumpy ‘I could find that in my grandma’s closet’ designs. A book full of patterns—sweaters, coats and accessories—from classics to trendy designs for real women. Knit something and look and feel gorgeous in it. This book goes further than a simple book of knitting patterns; it educates knitters on how to create knitwear that fits well and looks beautiful. Knitters will learn to correctly measure their bodies for perfect fit; alter existing patterns; recognize sweater designs that work with their shape, not against it; embrace the short row technique—a big girl’s best friend; and rock the knitting house with their big, bad selves. Big girls Jillian Morenoand Amy R. Singer are living the knitting lifestyle. Or la vida loca, depending on the day. Jillian is a knitwear designer and mom of two. Amy is a writer, editor of Knitty magazine and mom of none.
