Course Curriculum
Jill Wolcott
Jill is trained as a fashion designer with a focus on garment construction and pattern making. She turned to hand knits to be able to create both the fabric and the shape. Jill is always thinking about knitted things and how to guide knitters toward a successful knitting experience. Most importantly, Jill is obsessed with fit. She blends years of experience, research, and application to finding a better path to fit. Jill’s classes blend her wealth of knitting knowledge with a sense of humor and fun.
Jill taught line development and portfolio development classes, among others, at FIDM, from 2000 to 2016. She was an award-winning faculty member. Fit is critical to Jill’s view of garment design; she teaches grading to knitwear designers and has developed sizing guidelines for industry companies. Jill has her own line of knitting patterns and eBooks. She is co-author, and illustrator, of YNotKnit: Step-by- step instructions for Continental knitting and knitting basics.
I plugged numbers into the calculator most of the results are spot on. The amount of yarn needed per round, the finished width, the cowl depth all spot on. I used 52 grams total, the calculator estimated 68.9. The calculator estimated 13.7 grams for the bind off, I actually used 7 grams. To me that's not a bad thing, better to have a bit more yarn than run out. . . . Overall it took 6 hours to knit. I do like that you can customize the length and width with the calculator, I also like that you can basically use how ever many colors you want, I wound up using 5 colors and knitting 26 rounds.
