Writing patterns clearly and concisely is definitely a skill. Same goes for YouTube how-to videos and recipes. I wish the writers/designers would proof-read, check for errors, and enlist pattern and recipe testers. I spent 2 days watching a YouTube video on how to make a bag, it was very frustrating because the host kept going off on tangents about what to do if XYZ happens, but if you do it this way it won't happen, but if it does, here's how to fix it. Ugh. I *did* find a mistake in the cutting instructions.
For the most part, I'm able to figure out how to get from A to Z without the pattern's instructions. I have yet to be in a position yet where I can't move forward because the instructions were so poorly written - knock on wood!
