Professional technical editing of all knitting and crochet patterns. I have a strong design background and am detail oriented. I can work with knit or crochet patterns of all skill levels and excel at charting (either written to charted or charted to written).
  • worked 8+ years in print and copy shops, as graphic designer, pre-press, copy editor, finishing services and customer service
  • 10+ years crocheting
  • 8+ years knitting
  • 6+ years designing patterns
  • excellent proof reading skills
  • mathematical fact checking (accurate stitch count and gauge to measurement comparison)
I primarily work in MS Word, Publisher and Excel. I am well versed with what works and doesn't work in patterns and have the software available to create, secure PDFs and hard copy your pattern. I'll help you create a pattern that will be easy to understand and you will be proud to have.

Rates start at $15/hour with a one hour minimum and are thereafter billed by the quarter-hour. If you would like a quality chart made of your written pattern or need your chart translated to written directions, this service is billed separately at $20/hour (1 hour min). Professional photographs can be arranged for your patterns with or without models for a modest fee using your sample or I can create the sample to be used. I will strive to work with you to create the best pattern possible within your budget. Contact Me to schedule your project today!
