Tech Editing
My goal is help designers make easily readable knitting patterns that knitters will find enjoyable to knit and to check for technical and stitch count mistakes. As a test knitter I have worked on a wide variety of patterns and helped designers correct and simplify their instructions to avoid common mistakes and help eliminate confusion. I like to work collaboratively with designers and really enjoy the creative process. Click here to see my Testimonials. Let's work together!
