How to Modify Patterns for the Perfect Fit I Knitting Podcast Episode 8

✨ In this episode of my knitting podcast, I’m diving into the beauty of modifying patterns to create knits that truly feel like *yours*. From finishing my Venilia Tee by Sari Nordlund to sharing my Ingrid Sweater by PetitKnit, plus works-in-progress like the Slanting Slipover and Diona Tee, this episode is full of inspiration, yarn talk, and honest reflections on size inclusivity, fit, and personal style. We’ll cover: ✔️ How small tweaks transform a pattern into something that fits you ✔️ Finished objects and what I’ve loved most about knitting them ✔️ My latest works in progress — including modifications and yarn choices ✔️ Why size-inclusive knitting matters and how I’m approaching it ✔️ My most worn knit for August: the Love Note sweater by Tin Can Knits Whether you’re a beginner knitter or have a closet full of handmade sweaters, this is a cozy sit-down to spark ideas, encourage you to bend the “rules,” and inspire you to make each project truly your own. 00:00 Introduction 01:56 What I am wearing - Ingrid Sweather 04:08 Finished Objects - Venelia by Sari Nordlund 07:56 Works in progress - Slanting Slipover 13:06 Works in progress - Diona tee by Sari Nordlund 15:49 Works in progress - Isabella sweater by Marii (aka me) 20:04 Most worn knits - Love Note by Tin Can Knits 🧶 Why I Knit For me, knitting is more than just following a pattern—it's about creativity, self-expression, and making something truly my own. I love adapting designs, playing with Norwegian wool, and experimenting with different knitting techniques to create handmade wardrobe pieces that fit seamlessly into my life. Whether it’s modifying a colorwork sweater, adjusting knitting gauge, or designing my own knitted wedding dress, I believe knitting should bring joy, curiosity, and endless inspiration.
