The impossible mission – writing a perfect pattern

As a designer, I want my patterns to be as perfect as humanly possible. Whenever I see room for improvement in a pattern, I rewrite part of it. As an independent designer, I’m after quality and not quantity. When you have too many designs, it becomes impossible to review all of them regularly.

By the time a pattern is ready for purchase, it has already been reviewed many many times by me, my technical editors and test knitters. But errors can still slip through, especially simple typos that our brains are incredibly good at auto-correcting.

Recently I have started adding version numbers to my patterns. I have added a page where you can check whether you have the most up-to-date version by comparing the “Last Revised” date. If you have purchased my patterns through Craftsy, Patternfish or Ravelry, you should get a pattern update message in your pattern library whenever there is a new revision. Most revisions are made to improve the clarity of the patterns, so it is not really necessary to reprint a pattern if you already have an old copy. Errata are always listed separately in the Errata Page.
