Make your patterns knitabl.

As a tech editor, I want to help you make your knitting pattern as clear and error-free as it can be. I tech edit garment and accessory patterns, including those with lace and brioche. 

When I edit, I check all numbers (including Imperial/metric conversions, finished measurements, grading, and stitch counts). I verify compatibility of charts and written instructions; ensure accuracy and completeness of abbreviations; and look for consistency in language and tone. Many years of knitting experience allow me to provide suggestions on layout, usability, and clarity.

Contact me for a quote based on the complexity of your pattern. I will also let you know my availability so you can be assured of the return date of your tech edited pattern.

Have you written your pattern for the sample size that you made, but want to offer a full range of sizes? I am happy to work with you to grade your pattern out to make it fully size inclusive. I work with several size standards, as well as your ideas about fit, to make sure your pattern is comfortable and flattering for all offered sizes. 

I also enjoy working with designers who are new to grading but want some assistance and guidance along the way. I provide perspective that helps you navigate the designing and grading processes to avoid potential issues before they appear.

Your patterns are where your customers gain a true sense of your personality and your style. I will help you to develop consistent and clear layouts, with an awareness of how knitters use your patterns, so that you have a style guide and template to use when you design. Your patterns will be recognizable at a glance, and you will have fewer items to address in revisions and after technical editing.

I am skilled with creating charts from your written row-by-row instructions, and making row-by-row written instructions from your charts. I am also able to deconstruct a knit pattern and create a chart/instructions. All charts have a symbol list and stitch summary.

Let me answer your customers' questions about your patterns, leaving you free to keep creating! I love helping knitters perfect new techniques, understand patterns, and be confident that their work will produce a finished project that they are proud of. 

I use this experience to give you insights into what questions your knitters ask most, enabling you to produce even more clear patterns in the future.
