Show Notes

When you've finished writing your knitting pattern, you've only finished the first step of the process. Often the following steps, where your pattern is reviewed and edited, take even longer. If you're familiar with the design process, you're likely familiar with the terms "tech editing," but what does that mean and how does it work?

In this Pattern Design Circle Podcast episode, I share what a tech editor does, what they're looking for and editing in your pattern, how to find a tech editor, what to expect in the tech editing process, and more. Before I even get into all of that, though, I talk a bit about the difference between tech editors and test knitters (do you really need both?!). This is your complete guide to navigating tech editing as a knit or crochet pattern designer.

Plus I talk a bit about my tech editor, Joanna or Precision Tech Editing. I definitely recommend her if you're looking for a knitting pattern tech editor!
