Making the next Greenjeans, Monkeys or Clapotis (lecture followed by Q&A)
In this class, Amy will share some of Knitty's secrets with you. She'll talk about what makes a pattern stand out among the hundreds submitted to Knitty every year, what makes a good pattern, pattern-writing technqiues that make a difference, what makes a pattern go viral, the five things you can do to ensure that you have the best possible chance of getting published, and the five things you can do that will blow it for you.
Amy would like to encourage you to bring along any patterns you are considering submitting for publication, along with a knitted sample of the said pattern. She will give you helpful advice and promises not to be critique, to help you get the best time with her possible. She evaluated lots of sock patterns at Sock Summit last year, and everyone - even those not submitting at the time- got a lot of the class.
