  1. I just listened to your podcast for the first time and enjoyed it a lot.
    If you want to knit a sweater, you should have a look at Little Red in the City by Ysolda Teague. I found it to be a great resource for cute sweaters in all sizes and for great tips on how to customize them to fit perfectly to your shape. The best book for me.
