or A Week in the Life of a Professional Knitwear Designer
When I started my knit design business in earnest, it never occurred to me that I could go a whole week without picking up a pair of knitting needles (to be completely honest, I must confess that I did pick up a hat that I am knitting for my daughter yesterday, while waiting to get my hair cut, but that was not work related)! So, I asked myself “What on earth did I do with my workweek?”
Here’s my list…
- Sent out an announcement for my newest pattern publication, (w)rapped, which also meant updating my mailing list AND finding a Direct Mail service to ensure that I have opt-in and opt-out, mailing list management and, and, and…

shawls and baby blankets for a crafts fair that my daughter, Amalia, and I are doing in November (see the depressing news in Shannon Okey’s Knitgrrl Guide to Professional Knitwear Design about what ELSE professional designers do to actually earn money!) They will be available soon in my etsy store.
Prepared labels for upcoming crafts fair – Do I spend $400 to have them printed (and more if I want to have multiple colorways) or can I make a professional looking label myself with the help of Jo-Ann Fabrics and Michael’s? I think I can… I think I can…
- Reworked the grading (this is not a school term, i.e., what grade did you get on that exam?, but is what you do when you take a pattern written for one sweater size and turn it into a pattern written for nine pattern sizes) for my next pattern and sent it to Charlotte for tech editing.
- And, worked on the layout for individual PATTERNS pages on my website (How did Ysolda make get that cute little checkout basket on her homepage and make it so that everything goes directly into the checkout basket of her ravelry store without ever visiting ravelry directly?).
I also corresponded with String Theory Yarn about a good color for my newest design idea, but that was some of what I expected to be doing as a “professional knitwear designer!!!
