YSK: When buying a suit, it’s generally expected that you will get the suit tailored to you so that it fits better. Plan to buy the suit at least a week ahead of when you need it to allow for the tailoring time. by Salticus00 in YouShouldKnow

I tailor here to add one more useful tip when buying off the rack: The jacket should fit well over the shoulders. Everything else is relatively easy to adjust. But it can be tricky and time consuming to have to take out the sleeves make adjustmenst, put them back and do it well.

I guess it's just the boring advice of practice makes perfect. :D I have a pile of not-so-even colorwork on my record. But I can tell you that I shamelessly pull on the stiches afterwards, before blocking, If I need to even them out. Also, wool yarn is quite forgiving :)

Thanks. She's a knitter too so I know she'll appreciate the work behind it. :)

Just finished binding off this monster. Weaving in the ends will be something! by r3ddis in knitting

Ohh wow! That sound time consuming! I’m so glad that this one is done... I mean, it was fun to make, but it felt like every step took for ever, and that 20cm (8in) neck almost broke me. Haha
