Not production, no. I design for various yarn companies and magazines. (Berroco, Unger, Reynolds, Knitter's Magazine, InKnitters, and KnitPicks are my major clients.) Some of them want the patterns knit by someone other than the designer, and sometimes I just have too many due in too small a time period.

I just recently met a girl from Springwater in Costco - she was wearing a fantabulous hat she'd designed, and I stopped her and we talked knitting right there in dairy. She'd be a place to start. I'd been out of designing for a few years because I went back to school, but with graduation this spring, I'm getting back into it again - and having no problem finding work.
