The Knit Purl Girl Podcast Episode 3: Sennen Sweater, Stress Knitting, and a Q&A

Hello! Thanks so much for watching. Just a note before I get into the description box info – I'm aware that the autofocus is really annoying on my current camera and I am saving up for a new one. I'm hoping to have that in place by the next episode but I appreciate your patience.

Onto the good stuff!

Grading resources recommendations

Ysolda size chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Ann Budd book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Knitters-Han...

Amy Herzog book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amy-Herzogs-...

I would also recommend the Vogue Knitting book. I'm not putting an Amazon link here because the URL is so long for some strange reason, but it's an excellent resource with good basic information on how to approach designing various types of projects.
