Virtual Admin, Research & Tech Editing for Creative Businesses
Running a creative business — whether it’s knitting design, yarn, YouTube, or any form of content creation — often means juggling far more than just creating.
Between research, planning, emails, and organisation, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. That’s where I come in.
I offer virtual admin and research support designed specifically for creatives — with a deep understanding of the fibre, knitting, and handmade space, alongside experience supporting YouTube channels and content creators.

Social Media and Content Creation
Sharing your work and designs is just as important as creating them. I can help promote your work across social media platforms with professional posts that highlight your patterns and connect you with a wider audience. I also have experience with Creating Content for Yarn stores and Mills for use on Instagram and Youtube.
Tech Editing & Grading for Knitting and Crochet
I’ll carefully review your pattern for accuracy, clarity, and consistency—checking stitch counts, charts, grading logic, and formatting. My goal is to make sure your instructions are error-free and easy to follow, so you can enjoy every stitch.
About Me
Hi, I’m Molly. Knitting has been part of my life since my Nanny taught me as a young girl, and over time I discovered that what I enjoy most is not just making beautiful things, but making sure the instructions for those things are beautiful too.
When I’m not editing, you’ll usually find me knitting or crafting something for a loved one with my three dogs curled up on my lap. I believe every design deserves clarity, and every designer deserves support. I’d love to partner with you to bring your creative vision to life.
Why Work With Me?
I’m not just an Tech Editor — I understand the creative process.
With hands-on experience in the fibre and knitting industry, I bring both practical support and creative awareness to your work. I know how much detail, care, and intention goes into what you create, and I aim to support that — not interrupt it.
Flexible Support
Whether you need:
- A few hours of help each week
- Ongoing support
- Or assistance on a specific project
I can tailor my services to suit your workflow and needs.

Testimonials
Testimonial from VeralovesKnitting
Molly has proved to be a valuable collaborator, not only editing my pattern with care and attention but also giving excellent suggestions for further improvements on my patterns in general. She was prompt and respectful of deadlines, clear and concise with being patronising. I warmly recommend Molly for knitting patterns editing and am looking forward to working again with her.

Testimonial from Courtney N.M
As a beginning knitwear designer, it can be difficult to know where to look for skilled tech editors. After working with Molly to tech edit my Momento Top, I can personally vouch for the quality of Molly O’Halloran’s work as well as her timely and professional correspondence. She is both truly professional and warm enough in correspondence to put a new designer’s worries at ease, while providing accurate and insightful feedback regarding the pattern at hand. I’d 100% recommend Molly O’Halloran’s services to any new or aspiring knitwear designer who is in need of tech editing.
