Tech editing and pattern writing
However beautiful your design is, however perfect the look for this season, however much other people say they want to make it, if the instructions don't read well or the sizing doesn't add up, then there is little point in publishing the pattern. That's where tech editing comes in. It's about both checking your pattern is accurate and sized correctly, and that the instructions are suitable for your intended user.
I combine years of knitting experience and garment construction knowledge with professional publishing experience and skills. This means I have high quality standards, an analytical attention to details and numbers, and specialise in thinking about how your customer - whether a knitting novice or expert lace knitter - might think.
I work for magazines such as Let's Knit, directly for independent designers and for designers working for companies.
I can work on an existing pattern to grade it to other sizes or check it as below. Or I can take your sketch, measurements and swatch and create a multi-sized pattern to meet your specifications.
