For me the main issues are the inconsistent sizing, bad grading and incorrect technical drawings. I’ve asked a few questions about the sizing, especially regarding their statement about the size charts staying unchanged although the cup size suddenly went from b to c-cup. I got no answers, and was in fact told to ignore that fact as ‘it’s not a Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144010556887549717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-18473705226108185552020-01-22T09:30:42.787+01:002020-01-22T09:30:42.787+01:00I have had similar experiences with the new sizing...I have had similar experiences with the new sizing of Knipmode. Before the changes a size 34 was too big on me, now I tried a new drafted pattern from the January issue in a size 36 (which is actually my size when I look at my measurements in the size chart) and it's too small! It was supposed to be not oversized anymore, but this is a whole new problem the created!

It makes the patterns more challenging to trace, but not impossible. If this was Knipmode's motivation, there are certainly better ways to do it!<br /><br />There are soooooo many patterns and pattern companies that cater to beginners. I hope Knipmode isn't taking that road. =/Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384050927297629715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-57564707009328749682020-01-21T08:53:17.560+01:002020-01-21T08:53:17.560+01:00Hallo Simone, leuk je weer te "zien".
