Making patterns
I have a dream of some day publishing a book of patterns. BUT, I don't have the slightest idea how to make my own patterns. Does anybody have any tips on where to start? Is it sort of a trial and error thing like making your own cooking recipes, or is there a specific mathematics involved? I'd love any sort of feedback! Thanks!

You may want to read other technical books so you have a thorough understanding of construction. There's Knitting from the Top Down by Barbara Walker, and another one (whose name I can't remember) by Maria Righetti. The Elizabeth Zimmerman books would be good to read through too.
