I’m Craftsy!

I am beyond excited to announce my new class on Craftsy.com!

How to Say It: Pattern Writing for Knitters is a class I love to teach, and now I’m able to share information from the class with knitting designers everywhere!

The course is about how to accurately communicate patterns, and how to adapt language for different purposes and audiences. I talk about the different aspects of pattern writing, and how it differs depending on whether you have a publisher or are self-published.  The class includes a comprehensive style sheet and pattern template to kick-start the pattern-writing process. For the class, I designed a sample sweater (including doing all the math!) and together we walk through the process of writing the pattern, including dealing with charts and text. Both new and experienced designers, as well as folks wanting to become technical editors, will find a lot of great information here.

It offers online courses in many crafts, and once you buy a course, it’s yours forever!

And you can do it all sitting in your jammies at home, if you like.
