Have you ever spent time and yarn money to knit a sweater that you never wear because it stretched, or feels funny, or makes you look massive? Designer and plus-size lady Marly Bird feels your pain.
In Curvy Knits: Plus-Size Knitwear, you'll select the perfect pattern for your shape, and make easy fit adjustments to bust, sleeves, neckline and other trouble spots. You'll discover delicious yarns that make great plus-size clothes, and the ones that fail every time. And you'll learn how to transform swatching from a boring chore into a valuable tool. You'll use your favorite sweater, right out of your closet, to tell you things you never knew about yourself. And you'll make your very own custom-made dress form ... from duct tape! Get advice and help from Marly as you learn the same techniques knitwear designers use for a perfect fit and finish every time.
Sign up today for Curvy Knits. Take control of your wardrobe and create beautiful things you'll wear with pride!
Marlaina "Marly" Bird fled the world of financial services to launch her Yarn Thing podcast and hasn't looked back since. To Marly, a bi-craftsy girl who both knits and crochets, the yarn is the star, not how you work with it. She's creative director for Bijou Basin Ranch Yarns and the co-author of Curvy Crochet (Leisure Arts, 2011). You’ve seen her designs in Knit Simple, Interweave Crochet, Knitscene, Inside Crochet, Wild Fiber and Petite Purls, and in the books Perfectly Plus and Knitting Plus. In her spare time she raises three kids and teaches at her local yarn store in suburban Denver.

Love Marly Bird and both of her courses May 14, 2012
Now I feel confident that I can make any sweater pattern fit me. I also love her wit and teaching style. I love the dress form/body double. Actually already had one made from something else but now can take it and use to follow along with her worksheets to make sweaters that fit. Also hope to see many more courses by Marly in the future.
I gonna make a sweater that fits May 4, 2012
I have this class very helpful. I had been making sweaters, lately I had stopped because they stopped fitting. This class reminded me that measurements are the key. Also wash your swatches, they don't lie so much. Haha. I will say good bye to my last mystery sweater. I no longer have to bumble on to something I can wear.
The sections on bust darts, armholes are worth the price of the class, the rest of the class is a bonus.
I just want to say well done Marly, Well ...
