Hmm… Maybe you can include what yarn you used?
And I know alot of designers don’t like it when you write feedback in journals so don’t do that (unless they tell you to). But I think what you write in your journals sound great!
Maybe you could write in your journals if you had some difficulties with the pattern and if yes then at which part. You can also include whether you would recomend the pattern to others, hope this helps : )
Any difficulties should be communicated privately to the designer (EDITED TO ADD not noted in the journal) to give them a chance to clarify the pattern writing so no future buyers will be confused
