Episode 4 - What We Wish We Knew When We Started Designing

About

Bess & I have been designing patterns professionally for a few years now, and thought we'd share some of our early mistakes, lessons learned, and tips for new designers and the design curious. We'll talk about working with a tech editor, design as a business, and feuding with your projects.  Let us know your thoughts!

  • Jen's pattern Soft Structure, which uses superwash yarn that *definitely will* pat back into shape 🤣
  • Looking for a Tech Editor? Check out the Tech Editor Hub.
  • Lots of designers get started finding testers at Yarnpond. If you're a knitter and you'd like to do some testing, you can create an account and get started.
  • Bess's new pattern Hypatia is a re-release of one of her first designs, re-worked from the ground up.
  • Stay tuned for a testing call for the bralette Bess is working on!
