runnerbean Apr 2024 4:50pm, 28 Apr 2024 47,254 posts	Quote Pin runnerbean It was Hayfield Bonanza chunky and tumbled autumn. It’s lovely and soft but it wasn’t the best to knit with . It split quite a bit.

Meglet Apr 2024 11:37am, 29 Apr 2024 24,603 posts	Quote Pin Meglet I find there’s an awful lot of jeopardy in a garment! Will it fit? Will it suit me? Will I even wear it?
runnyeyes Apr 2024 7:15pm, 29 Apr 2024 2,222 posts	Quote Pin runnyeyes If you move to a top down construction the fit jeopardy is much reduced..you will probably need to switch to knitting in the round for top down designs, but it allows you to try on as you go. There’s a few tips to learn to modify the fit, but nothing complicated. And ..no seaming at the end. I still do the conventional knitting flat pieces and sewing them together, but judging the fit is so tricky.
Meglet Apr 2024 7:18pm, 29 Apr 2024 24,604 posts	Quote Pin Meglet Yes I’ve made a few garments and do wear them, and they’ve all been top down. The crochet one was quite tricky, I should probably have made the size down but the yoke was very complicated and I’d already redone a significant part of it! I prefer my knitwear quite fitted which doesn’t particularly help!
