Woolly Badger knitting podcast episode 12 | fixing fit, previewing upcoming designs, & plenty more!

On this episode of the Woolly Badger knitting podcast, we’re accidentally talking about fit a lot - from the common perils of raglans (and how compound raglans can fix them) to bust darts, width-based bust adjustments, and nailing the drop of a drop shoulder.
Along the way I’m talking about Chuck, It’s On, my new raglan pattern - including details on the Chuck It’s On KAL - and a whole host of new and upcoming patterns.
We’re moving from the chunky weight Corday cowl all the way through to two new summer designs - via the Jimmigan cardigan and its clever design details that make it a circular yoke cardigan that fits seriously well, the cabled Cynthia sweater with its sneaky bust adjustments, and a beautiful patchwork square blanket.
Plus, I’m giving my views on some Filcolana yarns (in particular Alva and Perilla), chatting a bit about bobbling, and kind of reviewing the KnitPro Mindful needles. Spoiler alert: I’ve got a new favourite needle.

Wowzers! I never realised how much extra maths went into a raglan sleeve!

[@jackibadger8617]

So. Much. Maths. If you do it properly, anyway.

I love the idea of a cardigan for gingers! My only sunburn last year was when I went for a walk wearing my Tallulah tank! Oops...

[@Thewoollybadger]

I'm now very tempted to call the pattern the Ginger cardigan 🤣

[@janegelberg2003]

Fun video! Very informative. Are you going to write up the t-shirt pattern for the green silk top?

[@jackibadger8617]

Yes, absolutely! It’s next on my list 😊
