This course will cover:

Expectations:

Being clear about what is required of you and what you are being paid to do (is it just a maths check, or applying a client’s house style/grammar check/providing a chart or schematic/or all of these?). Being clear about the method of working – does your client have a preferred method (tracked changes in word/pdf notes/highlighted and notes made (without tracked changes).
Time Management (if you are being paid per hour – does your client have a budget? Or a fixed rate preference?)
House style – what is it and how to apply it. What comes first? House style or pattern check? The pros and cons.
Checking:
- Intro sections (Materials/Measurements/Tension/Abbreviations/Pattern Notes) and making sure
  everything is clear and precise.
- What to do if you don’t have the physical sample to check against.
- How to check yarn requirements for different sizes.
- Checking house style if required and applying to pattern.
- The maths – getting started and checking line by line/current line against previous
  line
- Starting and ending the round or row – are the turning chains correct
- Checking rows/rounds and stitches against tension provided, to make sure all
  measurements are correct.
- Checking grading against all measurements – using a spreadsheet
- Checking charts and schematics against written pattern.
- What’s missing? Where are you starting? Where are you ending?
