What people are saying
“I'm a relatively new crochet designer so I am always a little anxious when I hand over my patterns to be tech edited but Lyndsey made me feel very at ease. She found some small errors but was so kind in how she communicated these and also made some really helpful comments which were very encouraging. I came away from the experience very confident that my pattern was thoroughly checked. I would definitely recommend using Lyndsey for crochet tech editing. Thank you Lyndsey!”
— Munira Rasul (Chroma Crochet)
"Lyndsey was absolutely fantastic to work with. We worked on my first pattern, with Lyndsey making suggestions to make it easier to follow and reminding me about the important bits such as Copy Right info. I highly recommend Lyndsey as a Tech Editor, she has a keen eye for details, and will definitely be working with her on my future patterns too."

Why Do I Need a Crochet Tech Editor?
Collaborating with a specialist Crochet Tech Editor can help you achieve your goals, and is cost effective.
Your crochet pattern writing style is unique to you, and I'm all about helping your personal crochet designer voice emerge.
I carefully curate your patterns inspired by your personal writing style, needs and taste. I use my eye for detail and high-quality processes to consistently deliver first rate tech edit services.
I focus my attention on:
Clarity - are the instructions clear about what you want the maker to achieve.
Consistency - not only between pattern releases but also within the same pattern. For example do you always use 3tr to mean 'treble once in each of the next three stitches' or 'three trebles in the next stitch'. Use of style sheets is key and if you don't have one already I can help you with this.
Conciseness or brevity - have you written the instructions in an overly verbose manner which can cause confusion? Can the language be simplified to make the instruction clearer and less wordy?
Correctness or accuracy - are all of your stitch counts correct; does the gauge listed make the fabric sizes specified in the schematic or size charts? All of these are checked and tested.
