Don't forget to include your headshot! Additional notes: • Knittyspin patterns use CYC standard sizing. Full details can be found here: http://www.yarnstandards.com/sizing.html US spellings are our standard. Watch for "ou"s where they don't belong. • Abbreviations that begin a sentence should be capitalized • Use "inches", not inch symbol ["] universally • Use "work" [not "knit"] when describing following a specific pattern for a specific measurement. • For multiple instructions, indicate as follows: 12[13, 14, 15] note: no space between first number and square bracket • Do not use fractions – they get lost in transit to our technical editor. Please use decimals or write the fractions in words (i.e. one-quarter or .25)
