Tech editing class with Knitgrrl + Alexandra Virgiel
Posted: April 14th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Online class, Shannon Okey (knitgrrl), Technical skills | No Comments »Available in the Knitgrrl virtual classroom space, a new class on tech editing, co-taught by experienced technical editor Alexandra Virgiel and Shannon Okey. Class will cover:
Ease, sizing standards, fit, set-in sleeves and sleeve cap calculations, grading (and how to do it for knitting patterns!) grading set-in sleeve pullovers, grading top-down pullovers, grading around design elements such as motifs and special topics, such as grading for men and children, how to draw schematics using Open Office, charting software, and much more.
Experience level: intermediate, you should already be writing patterns, even if you haven’t published them yet, and have some idea of what goes into a pattern, element-wise
Price: $65
Class begins: as soon as we hit enrollment limits, and continues for a month afterward (can be longer if we decide it is appropriate)
Update 15 June: We’re taking enrollment for the next tech editing class, which will start the first full week of July (after the holiday weekend). Class is $65 and we expect it to sell out immediately, given the interest on the Knitgrrl Ning alone.
