Knitting Technical Editing

Welcome!

Hi, I’m Lily! I’m a technical editor for knitting patterns, and I’m currently looking for my first few clients. If you’re a designer in need of a tech editor, head over to my services page to find out more!

What is a tech editor?

A tech editor is someone who will look through a designer’s pattern for them; they check that it has all the instructions it should, find maths errors, and sure the style is consistent. This way, the designer knows that it’s ready for knitters when it’s published! A tech editor doesn’t rewrite the pattern themselves, just points out potential errors or makes suggestions for changes that will improve the clarity and usability of the pattern. This ensures that no changes are made without the designer’s approval, which is important to make sure the pattern is still written in the designer’s voice – it is their pattern after all!

Why am I a tech editor?

I love learning new things about knitting and working with numbers, so when I found out about tech editing I instantly wanted to find out more about it! This led me to the Learn To Tech Edit Knitting course from the Tech Editor Hub, which I have recently completed. As someone who has knitted from a lot of patterns, I want to help designers make their patterns as good as they can possibly be so that knitters will have a stress-free, fun time making them (and I will have a fun time checking them in a spreadsheet).

Not sure if you need a tech editor?

In my opinion, every designer publishing a pattern needs a tech editor! Even if you check everything really carefully yourself, having a fresh pair of eyes look at it is invaluable when you’re trying to spot errors, or decide whether instructions make sense.
