Testimonials

HAXANN EVERS

“As a new designer, I felt very anxious about putting my pattern out and possibly causing fellow knitters to suffer a ‘knitting fail’ because of my lack of experience. Working with woolenthusiast: Luke Gilligan as my tech editor, I no longer feel that way. His clear explanations on what should be improved, as well as offering helpful suggestions, all while never infringing on the pattern writer’s personal style, make for a wonderful work experience. And as a knitter himself, he knows the importance of a well written pattern and cares as much as the designer that their pattern is clear and correct. With his edits, I feel confident that I am putting out my best work. I couldn’t have asked for a better tech editor.’”

“I worked with Luke to tech edit one of my patterns. He was very professional, thorough, and prompt. I would definitely work with him again if/when I’m in need of a tech editor.”

“Working with Luke has been amazing! He is prompt on responding, exemplary in the charts he makes, and I couldn’t ask for more! I was able to clean up a 5 size pattern in just a few days. I will definitely be continually going back to him for tech work! ”

EMMA JANET (@emmajanetknits)

“As a first time designer, I was nervous to even begin the tech editing process. Luke answered every question I had before, during and after the tech edit. He provided clear explanations and alternative pattern edits. Luke’s demeanor is both kind and professional. I felt at ease throughout the process. Without him, I certainly would not have the confidence to hit that publish button. ”

PERRY WILSON

“Luke was a joy to work with. The first round of edits was detailed and clear. He responded quickly to questions and helped me to think through the best way to clearly communicate the details of the pattern. I highly recommend Luke if you are looking for a tech editor who can find the tiny details and the larger issues in the pattern. ”

“I was immediately impressed by Luke’s attention to detail and professionalism. My designs are usually a bit weird/unconventional, so I get nervous sharing them with tech editors, but Luke was super susceptible to my strange way of working and provided me with wonderful, constructive feedback. He is a wonderful communicator, prompt, knowledgeable, and thorough. I highly recommend his services.”

“I adore working with Luke! As a beginning designer, I have already learned so much from him. Working with him has helped me to start writing my patterns with more clarity. He is great at giving suggestions and constructive criticism, and it is clear that he takes pride in what he does. He always responds quickly to my questions, and his turnaround time on my patterns has been phenomenal! I am so glad that I found a supportive editor like him, and I look forward to working with him on all of my future patterns.”
