Technical Editing

What's included?

Your design will be meticulously reviewed to ensure clarity and accuracy including the stitch counts and measurements, consistency in terminology, abbreviations, as well as gauge discrepancies, and suggested needle sizes. Finally, a thorough proofread is conducted to catch any grammatical or typographical errors, ensuring the final pattern is polished and ready for publication. Included in the quotation will be a review of the changes once made.

What I Need From You

To provide an accurate initial quote, I require access to the pattern that needs editing. Once the quote is accepted and the work is set to begin, I will also need either a knitted sample or photographs of the finished item. This process ensures that I fully understand the scope of the project and can deliver the best results. Clear visuals of the pattern and the completed piece help me to align my work with your expectations, ultimately leading to a successful collaboration.

I am also happy to have a video call to ensure that I fully understand your requirements.

Duration and Approximate Cost

I will provide a personalized quote based on your specific knitting pattern. I offer my expertise at a rate of £20 per hour, with billing done in convenient 15-minute increments.

Timings usually vary from between 2 hours for a simple pattern, to 4 hours for something more complex.

I am open to discussing the timing for the return of your pattern, taking into account my current workload as well as your deadlines. It is important to me to be flexible and accommodating to your needs, and I will do my best to meet any specific requirements you may have.
