Thanks for the compliment. I do have increasing concerns in regards to those who are "self -publishing" patterns. With some self -published patterns there seems to be more risk of the pattern not being a good quality pattern. That is not to say the design is not good ,but I am finding they can be lacking in directions. This lacking can be anything from a missed step in the instructions to difficult to follow in a step by step manner. Other issues are as basic as ...errors in the required materials or method that is not clearly explained , because the author assumes the consumer has an understanding of a method used.
I can editorialize on this subject, but with so many patterns so easily available to us...which is a good thing... some are not a top "quality" as others.
I really look forward to more postings on other "self published" patterns.
