“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!”
