Comments on: Is Scaling Up Sizes “Always” Possible? http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/484 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:53:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Gail http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/484#comment-1735 Gail Tue, 25 Oct 2005 18:43:10 +0000 http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/484#comment-1735 I know that the Knitting Curmudgeon did the same sort of analysis about Alice Starmore's Queen Anne's Lace - mainly, the main motif is so large that the number of sizes you can do is pretty limited without changing the sweater.

I also have a magazine that has a really interesting yoke sweater with interlocking colored cables. Sometimes you can either design something really interesting OR you can design something that can be scaled up. That's just the way it is.

However, it is interesting to contemplate how a pattern might be offered with different "options" for different sizes. Probably too time consuming for the most part, but something I'd like to see from time to time.

But, the fact is, for some complicated designs, it's sometimes very difficult. That means magazines can either limit their patterns to relatively simple ones that are easy to offer in loads of sizes, or accept more complicated ones, and offer then in only a few sizes. It's unfortunate, but it's often true. I like it when magazines offer patterns in wide range of sizes. But, the fact is, for some complicated designs, it’s sometimes very difficult.
