Online Waist-Shaping Calculator

This little goodie works for both knitting and crochet, and calculates shaping FOR you, whether you're working a garment from top down or bottom up! It bases increasing/decreasing on the measurements you input, as well as the stitch gauge for the hook and yarn you want to use. I haven't used it yet, but wanted to put it here where it would be handy, and to share it with you.

Waist Shaping by Knitting Daily

I found this tool through Crochet Partners, a wonderful, extremely active Yahoo group, and have found a wealth of other resources through them as well, including yarn and pattern sources. If you like working with cotton, whether worsted weight or thread, check this out: http://www.peaches-creme.com/ They have a FULL range of colors, and lots of special deals with really great pricing. I can hardly wait for my first order to arrive!
