Part 1: Sleeve Choices for knitters
Part 2: Update Progress
Part 3: Future Plans
Part 1: Set in, Square, Drop Shoulder, Raglan do you have a favorite? You might find a hand knitting pattern or a ready-to-wear design that you like, but the armhole style just isn't "you". Let's talk about the different options and explore the pros and cons of each.
Part 2: Back in September we asked you to wave your magic wand and tell us what you'd like to see at Knit it Now. One of the most asked for features included improvements to our pattern engine. This will be a year-long project, but we're making a great start with building our Dynamic Patterns. We're asking for your input on what we have so far.
Part 3: Coming up ... Universal sizing. we are standardizing our sizing charts, so patterns in each category, Misses, kids, plus etc will all be consistent. More instruction with patterns. Saving your custom sizes.
Bring your questions, opinions and suggestions ... let's talk about Knit it Now patterns.

Cynthia Q Great |
Cynthia Q Looked. great right now. The strawberry seemed easy enough. |
Marjorie M Scratch the above. Siri picked up extraneous noises. Restating my question. So, if you know you need more needles, can you build it into the pattern or do you have to fudge it once you have built the pattern? |
Marjorie M So if you know you need more needles, can you build it into the pattern on the image or do you have to budget once you have built the pattern? |

Terri S Great! Actual size numbers being on a schematic of perfect fit |
Cynthia Q Now that I know about the numbers, 2,3,4,5 etc, I really like it. |
Cherie S I like how you began the neck shaping KAL by listing what you need to concentrate on as a beginner and later as an experienced knitter. It was easier for me to keep focused on what I needed to work on. |
Terri S Love the perfect fit being part of pattern |
Griselle L Love your bluse! |
