Thank you for all your comments. Your tank you designed is really nice. I like the purl line you put in. Makes it look very polished. Looking forward to when the pattern comes out. Happy 4th!

UGH. No one should ever comment about something being unflattering or not looking good. That's awful. Are horizontal stripes great for me? No. Do I care? No! If I did care, I wouldn't wear them. I do like hearing about colors or shapes that look great on me because then I can seek out more things in that color or style. Wear whatever makes you feel good. And if it's something you made, show that off! Knitting can be hit or miss for so many reasons, like the yarn not being right for the pattern or the gauge being off. We should be proud of anything we knit that we love.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks for calling out the “flattering” comment. It’s such a backhanded way to critique the way somebody looks. Let’s just assume that when knitters share something they worked so hard to make, they like how it looks and do not need your input on that.

I'm so sorry you received such comments. You put so much work, time and effort into your projects and content. Those sort of comments are not acceptable in any scenario. It's really sad that society has taught that it is acceptable to comment on other peoples bodies. You are amazing for standing up for yourself. Yes, Leslie <3

I love this tank top design! It fits so great and looks like such a great staple! Also I'm so proud of you and really respect you for setting those boundaries. Some people seem to think that if you present yourself online, that that gives them free reign to share opinions about your body. And it doesn't. They think they're being "helpful" but it's really just rude and unkind. I'm sorry people were saying things like that to you. ❤

I’m glad you have set a boundary with how you want to be spoken to. I don’t understand what would be wrong with a drop shoulder… like this super confuses me that people had issues with that. I know stripes were demonized in the fashion world for not looking good on anyone who isn’t teeny tiny. I vividly remember crying in the bathroom as my overweight third grade self to being teased about the striped shirt. Some people are garbage humans. I love your content. ❤

Thank you for setting that boundary, which is not only for you, but for your community that likes to read comments! I'm typically a 3X, and I've been trying so so hard to let that word not be such an influence in my life anymore, especially in my knitting life. I'm definitely a process knitter, and I want to knit what makes me happy, not be worrying about what makes me look smaller.

I am SO glad you brought up the “flattering” comments - not only is it great for you to set your own personal boundary but also I’m grateful as someone who watches your videos that you won’t be letting these fly anymore. I have a similar body type to you, and seeing some of those statements you mentioned (re stripes/drop shoulders) can be super triggering, so I feel like you’re doing a service to your whole community too. Also I loved what you said about looking at yourself in those garments and being proud of what you’ve made and feeling good. That’s the most important thing and you should keep rocking the clothes that make YOU feel amazing.

If you're knitting (or any type of "making") a garment for YOURSELF, no one should be allowed to tell you how YOU feel inside it. I love your boundary that you're setting. If they want to be rude, they can kick dirt. You always look good in something that you're proud of, even if not everyone thinks that way. You GLOW when you're proud of something you made. SOOO... great job on your accomplishments, even if you made 100 mistakes to get it completed. You did it! :)

Wow your discussion on body image is really hitting a nerve. I'm tearing up thinking about how much I've struggled with my own body image issues, especially lately being postpartum and seeing how my body has changed permanently. It's been so difficult that I actually stopped crocheting and knitting garments for myself because I just don't know how things are going to look on me. I really love your podcast and I love how you, as you point out, don't talk about fit and if pieces are flattering or not. Just last week actually I was flipping through Janine Myska's "knitnknots" summer crochet pattern book and she has a really beautiful letter to the reader about size inclusiveness and it completely inspired me to just stop worrying and start creating again. So I'm currently crocheting a fitted tank top and knitting a peplum tank top 😁 I am SO thrilled for you for setting up that boundary. You're such a good role model! On a side note your knitting is just incredible. I saw the two striped sweater plans and I was like "yup that sounds about right" lol. I love that you know what you like. I appreciate you so much 😊 From a 38 year old mom of two girls, 2 years old and 3 months old. I hope I can be a good example and show them that they can wear whatever they want, whatever they are comfortable in ❤

I thought twice before laying down this comment, so hear me out. Leslie -- please charge high for your tank design. Think of the money people spend on yarn, and consider that buyers of the pattern will likely knit more than one. There's nothing on Rav with the same silhouette and level of polish, trust me, I've seen all of them. Think of the money you invested in engineering school. I would happily pay a lot for the pattern, and I'll probably do 5 of them. My perfect high-neck tank search has been exhausting and I finally had to self-draft. I love yours. Hurry up.
