018: Amy Herzog on Designing Sweaters that Fit Nov 02, 2015

Show notes

Today on the show, I talk with Amy Herzog, a knitwear designer who specializes in sweater knitting. In our conversation, you’ll learn how Amy melded her passion for computer science and technology with her skill and talent in knitwear design and created an online software program called CustomFit. CustomFit allows you to enter in your personal body measurements along with the gauge of a yarn that you love and have swatched with, and it produces a knitting pattern that is completely customized to you. I think by the end of our conversation you might be convinced that knitting from a customized pattern that is designed to look good on you is the only way to go!
