DIFFICULTY LEVELS
Basic: easy stitch patterns and simple color work, basic shaping and charts, 1 schematic, 1-4 pages.
Intermediate: more involved stitch patterns, simple to moderate color work such as intarsia and medium level stranded work, up to 3 simple to intermediate charts or schematics, 4- 9 pages.
Advanced: 10+ pages, more than 3 charts, advanced stitch patterns, Aran, mosaic, advanced lace and color work.
I am happy to review all patterns and provide estimates. Difficulty levels can be variable as a 9-size hat with a simple stitch pattern could turn out to be intermediate rather than advanced. Try me! I enjoy working with both new and experienced designers.

Sometimes hourly rates can work to your advantage. However, it can be difficult to accurately estimate the length of time an edit will require. If you prefer hourly, I will consider it after an initial pattern review. My hourly rate is $40 per hour with a 30-minute minimum and billable thereafter in 15 minute increments of $10 each.
