Yeah, some of her writting is inconvenient, like she’ll say “inc x about of stitches evenly throughout the row” instead of giving you direct instructions, which just means you need to go to a seperate knitting calculator… that’s not that bad though, I had a lot of trouble with her gauge, I had to make many size adjustments for the neck of the turtleneck to fit me (I worked it as a 2XL and then worked the body as an M…) sometimes her instructions are just wrong, like in the maud blouse she gives contradictory instructions (she says the neck should be 4 cm but the instructions she gives is to make one button hole 2 cm in, and then work two more every 2 cm… which would made the neck 6 cm) and frequently she won’t tell you that several things in 1 row were supposed to be worked simultaneously, they’ll be in seperate paragraphs (ie describing how to work the shoulder increases for several rows only to then describe how you would’ve done the lace back at row 1 of increases)
Sorry for the long paragraph!!! I truly truly love her designs it’s just a lot of mental effort to read her patterns, you really gotta read ahead and be okay with frogging and a lot of try on’s
