Shaping your knitting and getting the increases and decreases JUST RIGHT can be a challenge. If you are altering a pattern or creating your own, guesswork just doesn't cut it.

Let's talk about shaping without adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing ANY numbers!

Shorten/lengthen sleeves or shaped garments, add shaped shoulders for better fit, plan triangles for interesting shapes and turning corners.

Check out our newest pattern 'Over Under Shawlette' created with the Magic Formula

Measuring from shoulder makes sure sleeves don't ride too much when lifting your arms, but makes for overly long sleeves when arms at rest... that's what I used to find
Marie-Jo C
Do the perfect fit patterns use the magic formula ?
Nancy M

Patricia H

I was always taught to measure arm length (for sewing anyway) from the underarm
Nancy M
Carl, are you measuring your self or did some one else measure for you.

To much weight while knitting?
