The two main principles that I live by in my work are quality and service:<\/p>\n<h4>Quality<\/h4>\n<p>You can be confident that any PlanetJune pattern you choose will be clear, accurate and consistently written, with plenty of illustrations and step-by-step photographs for clarification where necessary. You can also see this demonstrated in my many popular <a href=\"\/help\">crochet tutorials<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely believe in making all my patterns as clear and complete as possible, and I don&#8217;t put my name to anything that I&#8217;m not satisfied with. My experience as a technical writer has proven to be hugely beneficial to me as both author and pattern designer, as the main purpose of a technical writer is to convert techno-babble into clear instructions that everyone can understand. If you&#8217;ve ever felt cheated by a jumble of inconsistent terminology, confusing directions, and even outright errors masquerading as a pattern, you&#8217;ll appreciate why this is so important!  <\/p>\n<h4>Service<\/h4>\n<p>Simply put: if you aren&#8217;t happy, I&#8217;m not happy. All PlanetJune patterns come with unlimited support via e-mail; all my tutorials come with unlimited support via blog comments. If you ever have any questions about my patterns, or anything isn&#8217;t clear, I&#8217;m always happy to help.<\/p>\n<p>I have years of customer service experience, developed through running an IT helpline for schoolteachers, and working at a reference desk in a university library, and continuing through my years of caring for my PlanetJune customers, so I have a very strong service ethic. I believe that a sale should be only the beginning of our relationship.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: center; gap: 10px;\">\n  <a href=\"\/blog\/you-can-do-it-guarantee\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/youcandoit.png\" alt=\"You Can Do It!
