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.

    Joan W
    Hi - the new pattern system sounds a lot like DAK. Are you still supporting DAK
    Lara F
    thanks! I love these live times
    Dayana K
    I use your pattern generators for both machine and hand knitting! Love them
    Barbara N
    I totally enjoy these get togethers Thank you so much!
    Marjorie M
    Try again. Ok do you can not split a pattern into panels on a normal pattern. Look for a paneled pattern from the beginning instead.
    Barbara N
    i
    Nancy M
    sounds like a good sizing change.
    Hanna M
    I couldn't knit without your patterns.
    Jacqueline O
    I love your patterns. They are getting better and better. Thank you.
    Nancy Z
    I've knit a separate strip for a wide sleeve
    Alessandra U
    Do we know if the patterns have been updated?
    Pam W
    Hello from Massachusetts
    Sandra T
    Does that finished size include ease?
    Cherie S
    Numbers on the schematics will make it easier to draw the diagram on a knitleader.
    Betty E J
    thanks for always thinking forward!
    Linda H
    Will they still include the rows and increases and decreases?
    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?
    Shane D
    Shane In Nashville sorry I am late
    Cherie S

    Terri S
    Can I buy a lifetime membership lol ?
    Patricia H
    Cool, much more versatile
    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!
    Alessandra U
    Thank ou Lara
    Terri S

    Lara F

    Mary K
    What about square armhole? How to put into the armhole, or add top down to armhole?
    Alessandra U
    I'm doing saddle shoulder now with a lace insert
    Robin M
    Never tried a saddle shoulder but I am looking forward to trying it.
    Dayana K
    100% agree
    Cynthia Q
    Not a question, I was just thinking you mentioned drop down being bulky.
    Cynthia Q
    Lace probably would not be that bulky with lace, right?

    Scott V

    Nancy M
    do the mini practice set in sleeve
    Cherie S
    I have a Brother learning to knit garments that suggest your should place markers on your sleeves and garment body after you finish the armhole shaping to help match when sewing together, as well as a center mark for the sleeve cap to match the sweater should seam. I've been using that hint on the sweater I am currently making.
    Linda H
    I am knitting the body of the sweater using one of your patterns, Then I will pick up thestitches and knit the yoke.
    Juavue H
    If you don't know any better set in slevees teach you a lot on your first sweater. That is what I did and now I love set in slevees.t
    Matthew F
    The Knit It Now Dynamic set in Sleeve caps are prefect!
