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 (with 2 1/2 years off due to injury)
• excellent proof reading skills
• mathematical fact checking (accurate stitch count and gauge to measurement comparison)
  

I primarily work in Word, Publisher and Excel and have the ability to secure your PDF documents to prevent customers from changing your pattern in any way. 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. Grading and charting are 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!

Below are a few templates that you can choose from if you are looking to create a unique look for your patterns or just need a few ideas. All of the templates can be customized with colors, fonts and other design elements that will make it 100% yours.
