August 10 2013 Topic - Plus Size/Curvy Knits

Hi Everyone! EllieRaine will be your host for todays #knitchat

Todays #knitchat is all about knitting for the plus size or how I like to call it “Curvy” sizes.

We have the wonderful designer Sandie aka KnitzyBlonde joining us.

Sandie was once the fashion editor of BBW magazine (Big. Beautiful, Woman), as well as Dimensions Magazine. Both focus on plus sized and supersized women.

She has been designing plus sized clothing for many years and is still very passionate about it.

Some come along and share your favourite patterns, ask the designer questions, and most of all chat, learn and have fun!!

See you at the usual time of 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm UK
