What was your inspiration?

Craftsy Class: Curvy Knits

What are you most proud of?

That I got to include my husband into my hobby of knitting!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

DO THIS! Sign up for the class, even if it is just to learn how to make your own Mannequin! If you knit, crochet, or sew for yourself this is a VERY economical way to get a dress form for yourself to use to accurately fit your projects to yourself.
This project took my husband and I about 90 minutes to complete. It was time just for me and him and we both enjoyed it.

This looks like one of the best things so far I've learned on Craftsy! SO much easier to see how the item will look on me when I can see it NOT in a mirror!
