My vision

Knitting passion

I love helping designers provide their clients with a seamless experience. I take great pride in my job and consider my activity to be a small but essential part of the knitting community. Indeed, well-written patterns are important to the success of designers, which helps them to keep doing what they love. This allows them to grow the number of knitters who love their patterns and who know they will find the same style, design after design.

In my opinion, my work is also very important to the whole community as it helps knitters continue to knit with pleasure. A well-written pattern helps beginners to have a successful and enjoyable first experience. It also allows people to be more adventurous. When we are sure that the pattern will guide us without pitfalls throughout the whole project, we are more willing  to take up challenges by tackling more advanced techniques, don’t you think?

I love helping designers publish successful patterns that bring out their style.

I am proud helping ensure that knitters will enjoy a seamless experience.

STEP BY STEP

I'm here to help until launch

Step 1
When you contact me, I will usually get back to you within 24 hours, giving you my availability and an estimate of the price (if the details you have provided allow me to estimate it).
Step 2
You send me your pattern in electronic form (ideally in PDF version).
I inform you about the final price and commit to a deadline.
You confirm to me that everything is good for you.
Step 3
I edit your document. I point out errors and make suggestions directly to the PDF file or in an email if my annotations do not seem clear to me.
I send you the annotated PDF so that you can correct the pattern. I also send you the invoice.
Step 4
You send me the corrected pattern and I check again if everything is correct from a technical point of view. A last quick read-through just before the launch is also included.

If major design modifications are needed, a supplement may be requested.
