Oh dear … my ambitious, excited plan to publish the first pattern in my Pattern-a-Week Challenge has a flaw. I can design, knit and write up a pattern before Sunday, but there’s no time in that schedule for test-knitting and editing.
D’oh.
While it might be fun to release the occasional simple pattern without testing, it really would make more sense to build in some time for test-knitting and editing, right?
So, revised plan: My first pattern will be ready for testing this Sunday. I’ll post a photo and a brief description, and invite potential testers to contact me by email.
Then two weeks for testing, and two weeks for editing, and the first pattern will be published free to all comers for one week starting on Sunday, 7 June.
I’ll aim to keep designing and writing up one new pattern each week and calling for testers for each one, then editing and publishing 4 weeks after the testing call.
Not so much immediate gratification, but much more sustainable and useful, I think.
