Fab class, as ever. Really understand how to do the bust adjustments
Sarah RuddI loved it. I feel like I learned a lot.
undefinedWow, 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.
MeLinda DennisJacki 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.
undefinedI'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!
Susan JohnkeVery informative class. I learned a lot and will be putting this into practice to have better fitting knitwear
Laurayne BarberGreat course with helpfull visuals and examples. Totally recommend for anyone trying to knit for larger busts!
Karolin StruckJackie 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.
Hope LoveThis 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.
Anne BrightI'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!
Rebecca ClowThe fuller bust session gave me some great ideas on how to improve adjustments to patterns and avoid all the guesswork and frogging that I normally do!
Louise PlumridgeThis is the second workshop i've had with Jacki (first being colourwork), and i've loved and valued both. Jacki provides a class that is structured enough to cover everything that needs covering, but also casual/fluid enough to allow for questions and discussion, all whilst being clear, personable, and funny. This class works for both knitters and designers and I can't wait to start using what i've learnt from her classes! I can't recommend these classes enough, thank you!!
Kate McRobbieReally great workshop that’s built my confidence in making decisions when it comes to fit. I’ll definitely be using the techniques in the future!
Christina OwenBrilliant workshop, all made sense! Jacki teaches in such a way you learn so much without even realising! I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is chesticularly blessed. Thank you.
Jodie McKieI thought the class was informative and clear! Thank you very much for the materials, I'm looking forward to (?!?!) doing the maths for my next project.
Sophie YoungI really enjoyed this class. Jackie is a great teacher and I can't wait to put what I've learned into practice!
Amanda O'DellGreat class! Materials were informative and the instructor was really clear and engaging.
Stephanie KestelmanAbsolutely fantastic class, I'm really looking forward to adjusting my knits in future to fit me better, and I feel fully equipped to do so! Couldn't ask for more
SarahVery informative. I know now what my options are for different kinds of projects. It would have taken me forever to figure this out on my own. I can recommend this course.
SarahI learnt so much from Jacki in this fabulous class. I’ve left feeling confident in how to approach making the modifications I need for better fitting knitwear. Jacki delivers the session in an engaging and relaxed manner whilst making sure we all had a chance to ask any questions. Great class. Looking forward to another class!
GailThe session was really good. The session was focused on my specific questions and I felt able to move forward with my knitting.
sueThe class was fantastic, really informative and helpful. It's one thing to read a pattern and the instructions for shaping but it doesn't explain what is happening or help you use the ideas elsewhere. Jacki gave clear descriptions and explanations, and did a great job of answering all questions. I now feel confident in studying a pattern and adapting it (or at least having a go) for myself. I will, however, be trying one of Jacki's patterns with the instructions included first.
JackieExcellent, thorough explanations of everything I needed to know. Really glad I signed up for this course, and would recommend to others wanting to learn how to adapt patterns to fit. Thank you!
MarieVery informative class with illustrative examples, applicable both for knitters and designers.
Basia (brrb.knits)The "knit to fit your tits" workshop was great. I'm working on a sweater now and can't wait to experiment with one of the several options Woolly Badger recommended and taught to us. The class size was perfect. The instruction was clear and informative. I would definitely take another class.
KristyFantastic! So much information! So glad the slides and recording will be available afterwards to keep referring back to. Can't wait to start making better fitting knit wear! Thank you!
Ellie SimsThis was a fantastic session. Jacki was very well prepared and knowledgeable. I learnt a lot and am really excited to incorporate the techniques covered here in my future pattern designs. Thanks Jacki! xxx
Sophie // The Knit Purl GirlAs always, Jacki was super clear with her explanations and made some really tricky concepts make perfect sense. She had plenty of examples and answered questions clearly. Shame that Sophie cat didn't attend :D
