| Requirements from the maker |
Follow pattern eactly as written, noting any errors or inconsistencies, and clearly communicate those to me, along with suggestions for improvement if you have them! Knit to gauge, changing needle size as necessary to get the gauge written on the pattern, and letting me know which size worked for gauge and your tendency toward loose or tight knitting. Provide milestone photos worthy of reposting! (You neen't be a profesional phptographer, I'm just looking for photos that represent the project in the works with decent enough lighting to tell what we're looking at, and if you have a little flair for decoration that doesn't hurt either :)
