Glam Knit Reality: ZigZag Wraparound « »
Oh! Another thing about the book is that my “working titles” for the garments just became the names of the garments. They don’t even all make sense, like this one. It’s not really a wraparound, just crosses over in front.
Here’s the Ravelry link for yarn info.
It’s really not meant for a pregnant person, but is knit to fit a plus-sized model! I’m not kidding when I keep saying I was promised to have one…I knit half the garments in a 12 -14! (38 - 40 bust) It’s meant to be worn kinda slouchy in front and down over the bum. Like a long tunic-y thing over a dress or leggings with boots. Not prissily folded under (and under) like this:
It’s a little bit twisted around in this picture, but you can see the detail of how the lace matches up in the back (it’s knit in two directions and Kitchener’d up the back.)
And here’s one just for fun with my belly:

I love that you’re doing this! what a great way to see the reality of these fabulous sweaters…this book is now on my Christmas list!
I can really see why you would be so mad about this book. The pictures in it, are nothing like the actual garments.
It’s funny - I have Fitted Knits on my wish list (I really am that far behind on craft books!) but I’ve never even thought about Glam Knits until you started this series. The presentation made it totally unappealing to me. I think most of the pieces are really not my style, but I like them SO much more on you!
Hello! It is very nice to get to se the garments on you, thanks for showing us. Im going right now to have a new look at the book (with I already baught, and like very much), to get a second look at things.
I got this book from the library to review and see if I wanted to buy it (I really thought I did since I love FK so much) and nothing really jumped out at me. The trapeze jacket was really the only one I wanted to make. I was surprised how different it was-and now I understand why.
I am really glad that you are going through the sweaters on your blog because 1) I am actually wanting to make them.
and 2) I kind of feel like it is healing the bad book experience for you-and I am really glad about that.
I think you are a great designer and everytime I see a pattern you made I love the beautiful simplicity of it. I almost always want to make it right then and there. It would REALLY be a bummer if you stopped designing. So, I am glad that you are getting the chance to make Glam Knits known the way you wanted it known.
