Reflections by Meiju Kallio

Do you know what types of garments and patterns you wear the most? Asking yourself a few simple questions can help you choose patterns that you will really wear. This is the basis of the Yarniacs Sweater Challenge, in which we take a critical look at the items we wear, and use that information to help us choose patterns that will fit our lifestyles, our bodies, and are comfortable to live in.
