Question
booklvr
I was thinking about this last night, when I was getting started designing a baby blanket for a friend. I'm sort of an "off the cuff" designer, in that I gather ideas (from other pattern books, magazines, etc), think about the function I need, picture it in my head, and then just get started and see what happens. I don't typically write anything down or make sketches...and I never really thought about it until an article about a crochet designer in the local paper recently that told how she starts with sketches and then charts, etc. I suppose I'd *need* charts if I were crocheting an image into something, but otherwise, it usually is just all in my head until the piece is complete.
So how do you design new projects? Do you just "go for it", or are you more of a planner? Just curious...
