No doubt every designer runs into the same problem: by the time you finish writing a pattern, you're so ready to move onto something else that the idea of carefully proofreading the pattern has no appeal at all.

That's where I can help. If you publish knitting patterns or articles about knitting, I can assist you by:

• Developing charts from written instructions, or vice versa.
• Verifying that charts and accompanying written instructions match.
• Verifying that stitch counts add up as they should.
• Drawing schematics, diagrams, or other illustrations, in a wide variety of formats, including Illustrator, EPS, PDF, GIF, and JPEG.
• Suggesting alternate wording, where needed for clarity.
• Formatting to suit a particular publication style.
• Checking for typos and misspellings.
• Editing digital photos.
