Hey everyone,
as i recently rediscovered knitting for me, I've come across some new methods, I haven't worked with so far.
Namely, k1tbl (knit one through back loop) and k1b (knit one below).
I wonder, what are the effects of those stitches in comparison to a normal knit stitch?
Regarding the k1b, I found out through google, that it makes the stitch thicker and softer. Is that correct?
But, what about the k1tbl? Does anyone know? Please help!

Hello eager knitters!
I'm semi-new to knitting. I mean, i learnt the basics years ago, but at the moment, I'm starting to get deeper into things. And i'm extremely curious about all the textures that you can create using different stitches. Even very easy ones like seed stitch.
So I was wondering, what are your favourite stitches?

Hi everybody,
i just got the book “metric pattern cutting for women’s wear” by winifred aldrich. at first sight it looks like it could become my bible (no offence!).
but when i looked at the part where she explains how to make blocks from your individual measurements, i got confused, cos for the waist-to-hip-measurement she just goes back to the standard measurements that are based on the bust measures.
Being taller than average (176cm/5’10) and extremely pear shaped (76cm waist, 108 cm hip), the standard measurements for waist to hip doesnt match at all with my body.
Maybe someone here is more familiar with pattern drafting than me? Maybe someone even has the same problem?
I just dont know, if i could just draft the pattern with my measures? or would i have to adjust the pattern in other areas, too?

Please help! I so want to get started with drafting!

Hey there,
thought i could post a pic from my first self-designed dress or garment even. i finished it some days ago, but i had made the pattern like a year ago. just never had the courage to kinda finish the dress. but now i think it turned out just great. check it out yourself! and please(!) ignore the face and hair and ignore the hugeness of the pic...
