How a Knitting Pattern Design Can Fail
Thursday, March 31st, 2011 by Rhonda BellI always have some knitting pattern design going in my head, on paper, on the needles, and near completion. However, in all these stages and more, my knitting pattern can fail and never actually make it to publication. Here are some of the ways it can fail:
- Sketched but not designed
- Designed but no yarn selected
- Yarn selected by no gauge swatch
- Gauge swatch but none I like
- Final gauge swatch but no stitch count
- Stitch counts but no cast on
- Cast on but not completed
- Completed but don’t like garment
- Like garment but no pattern
How do you keep your knitting pattern designs from failing?
