Thank you as always, I love your holistic approach to explaining something! I would love to see your take on bust/waist shaping for people with larger bust/waist differences than the standard B-cup usually used in sweater patterns

I love the breakdown of how to achieve a specific shaping effect in a knitted item. One of my quests has been how to take a wedge-style yoke and figure out how to modify the wedges to achieve a lower and wider neckline. An example of this would be in the Ravi or Ravi Nua sweater by Carol Feller (Ravi Nua is a longer body than Ravi). I have been looking for some time for guiding principles on this.

Hi Roxanne, slightly off-topic but maybe not if you are posting about shaping: I'm fascinated by the pleating that occurs with the stitch pattern in the Edwardian sweater. I've been experimenting but I haven't yet achieved the level of elasticity shown in the sweater. I love the way the fabric gathers itself together into pleats as soon as you release a stretched part of it. I'd love to understand more about how this happens and how it's affected by gauge and yarn weight. Many thanks.

The amount of pleating the fabric relaxes into as it hangs depends on what might be holding the pleats together at the top and bottom. It's very willing to stay pleated in the section where I worked k3tog, k4tog over and over, and where there is ribbing below it. It easily lies flatter in places where nothing is encouraging it to pull in, because the stitch count hasn't changed.

Thank you as always Did you cover how to add stitches and calculate rows to the back of sweater before or in the neck to compensate for a rounded back or to make the back hang better?
