About Melissa Metzbower

Hi! I’m Melissa, and I’m glad you stopped by! I have been designing knitting patterns for over a decade and now offer tech editing and grading services as well.

With over 10 years experience, I’ve had a lot of time to really understand how the designing business works. I have designed almost anything you can imagine-from felted mittens to Estonian lace stoles to cabled sweaters. Designing a sock to represent each state of the United States and what makes that state special, is my current multi-year project.

Additionally, I have successfully completed Joeli’s Learn-Build-Grow tech editing course and Jill Wolcott’s A System of Grading course. I co-teach A Masterclass in Grading for Joeli. I highly recommend any of these courses to anyone wanting to further their skills!

When I am not knitting, teaching, tech editing, or grading, you can find me teaching robotics and programming, beekeeping, or grading papers.
