More grading and some actual pattern writing (Daily Update: 30/8/19)

I got a rejection letter from Knit Picks today. They sent out a call for submissions for Mosaic stitch patterns a few weeks ago and I was really excited - I love mosaic knitting. Plus I got my dad to draw the sketch of the pattern for me because he’s great at drawing and I wanted the submission to look professional. No worries, I’m going to try and find more magazines/collections to submit to.

My dad’s sketch for my pattern submission. Isn’t he great?! Ah well, better luck next time.

After staring at my grading sheet for a while I’m unsure about my plan to base everything on a C cup. I’ve adjusted everything up a bust size and changed my size ranges a little, so they now look like this:

  
    Size
    Bust range (in inches)
    Based on this bust size in the Ysolda chart
  

    1
    27 - 30
    30
  

    2
    31 - 34
    32
  

    3
    35 - 38
    36
  

    4
    39 - 42
    40
  

    5
    43 - 46
    44
  

    6
    47 - 50
    48
  

    7
    51 - 54
    52
  

    8
    55 - 58
    56
  

    9
    59 - 62
    60
  

The new sizes actually worked out to the point that they could potentially even fit me without too many adjustments, which I’m taking as a good sign!

I also found the Rainbow Top pattern by Francoise Danoy that has a very detailed schematic that I’m using to sanity check my measurements, and it’s looking pretty good.
