    This is *amazing*! I understand using/manipulating darts in sewing but not knitting. Thank you so much for sharing this!

    that was terrifying but you achieved it!

      Ha! Yes! But less terrifying than reknitting it I guess. Not quite as scary as seeking!

    that looks amazing!! great job, how does the grafting look up close? im amazed. so in sewing the bust darts go in the opposite direction, always hard to remember that in knitting they open up towards the middle

    Would be so nerve wracking to do.

    Hi ladies! Loving the podcast and the wisdom you're sharing around making garments we will actually love. I find myself wanting more: I really struggle to decide between vertical and horizontal bust darts and when is the 'right' time to use which one? Also: do you even need darts when knitting an oversized garment? I find that it just creates a 'balloon' effect instead of making things more flattering? Would really love some answers to these questions that I've literally had for YEARS! Please educate me 😁

    Hey, this sweater surgery is just like making an afterthought heel for socks, which I recently learned how to do. But I'm always looking for good information and techniques for bust darts, so I'll look for your pattern. Is it on Ravelry?

      It is! It's called Classic LBD. Thanks for asking, and yes, it's an afterthought heel for the chest 😊

      @@onewilddesigns Thank you. Just after I posted that comment, I found the pattern on Ravelry. I bought that one and your kid's sweater with the bobbles. I love generic patterns like the LBD, because you can do SO much with them. Hope you don't mind that I call it generic.

      No I totally get it, and that's exactly what it's designed to be - something you can riff on and make your own over and over 😊 thanks for your support! Scoop shop is one of my faves and I hope you love that one too 💞
