Feedback is vital!
Please email me with your comments. I am interested in your input!
Are directions clear and concise? One of my most important goals is to write directive that almost any level of knitter will be able to understand, enjoy and learn from!
Were the materials needed to complete the project cost-effective? Did you have to buy any new needles or additional products, other than the yarn? Did you have the right amount of yarn?
Did your finished product look like the photo on the pattern? If it didn’t– send me photos and info and we can figure out why!
God forbid… were there any errors or typos? Where is there room for me to improve? If so, please email me the pattern #, pattern name and exact details of the error!
What types of patterns would you like to see me design in the future? What types of fibers do you like to knit with?
Send me photographs of what you are interested in seeing designed for knit. It can be a store-bought item made out of any type of material– or really anything for that matter! I am inspired by shapes and colors that I see in everyday life. For example, pattern #0604 “City Bag” was designed from a 9-paned, ceiling mounted light fixture… as I lay on a doctor’s table and stared up at it, the idea for a bag grew in my mind.
Any other comments…… Send ‘em over!

Christine,
I finally got around to looking up your patterns. They are wonderful! Congratulations on doing something so worthwhile and fulfilling. You are an inspiration. I love your bags and hats. Those are my favorites. Maybe I’ll pick up the needles again?
See you soon.
Shelley

I purchased pattern # AGO7-01. I plan to knit a premie outfit for my local hospital. The pattern calls for worsted yarn. Do you mean 4-ply traditional worsted or DK yarn. Thank you for your reply.

the most important thing here is to get your gauge correct! I believe for that pattern you are looking to get 4.5 sts per inch. Everyone knits a tad differently, so take the time to knit up a little swatch and see what you are getting for a stitch count. If you have a yarn that you love and want to make this sweater, play with the needle size a bit to get that correct gauge. Sorry for the vague answer– these sweaters are so tiny that I have used all types of left over yarn from other projects to make them– I’m gonna stick with, “Check your gauge!”
