Ask the Geeky Girls -
Amy (abingham) from Oregon asks:
How did you decide what the best type of knitted garment is for your body? (top down raglan, seamed, etc.) Did you decide to knit a pattern solely based on a style you know will wear best on your body or was it trial and error by knitting items and deciding they weren’t a good fit for your body type?
