I will tech edit your knitting pattern
About this Gig
As a professional editor with over a decade of experience and an MFA in Creative Writing, I bridge the gap between creative design and technical perfection. I don't just check your pattern for typos - I ensure your pattern is mathematically sound, logically structured, and enjoyable to knit.
Whether you are a first-time indie designer or an established brand, I provide the meticulous novel treatment your work deserves.
My Tech Editing Service Includes:
- Mathematical Verification: Checking all stitch counts, increases/decreases, and measurements across all sizes.
- Instructional Clarity: Ensuring your language is consistent, concise, and easy to follow.
- Cross-Referencing: Matching your written instructions to your charts, schematics, and legend.
- Style Sheet Adherence: Editing to your specific brand style or providing a standard stylesheet if you don't have one.
- Grammar & Formatting: Polished spelling, punctuation, and professional layout suggestions.

FAQ
What exactly is a "tech" edit?
A tech edit is a comprehensive, technical audit of your pattern. I check the math (stitch counts, row counts, shaping), verify your measurements, ensure your language is consistent, and proofread for grammar and clarity. My goal is to make sure a knitter can finish your project without confusion.
What if I don't have a Style Sheet?
No problem! If you don't have a set brand style, I will edit your pattern to meet industry-standards. If you’re looking to develop your own unique "voice" or formatting style, I can help you establish a consistent style sheet for an additional fee.
Are you knitting my pattern?
No, I won't be producing a finished object from this edit. I will be returning the pattern to you with edits and suggestions that will ultimately improve the knitting experience of your pattern.
Do I still need a Test Knitter if I have a Tech Editor?
Ideally, yes! While I ensure the pattern is mathematically and linguistically perfect, a Test Knitter provides feedback on "fit" and "user experience." I suggest a tech edit before testing to ensure your testers aren't frustrated by avoidable errors and typos.
Why should I hire a Tech Editor with an MFA?
Clear communication is the heart of a great pattern. My advanced degrees provide me with a specialized understanding of instructional writing and structural logic. I don't just find errors; I help you refine your writing so your patterns are professional, sophisticated, and easy to understand.
