Special call for test knitters

Hi Knitting Friends!


Exciting news! I have been working on several fun designs for a new-to-me German yarn company, and we'd like to have all of the garments test-knitted in every size. I figure before opening up to the general public, I'd try to keep it "in the family" and offer it to you all first!


The yarn company is providing all of the yarn and the sweaters are yours to keep. What we will need during the process is your feedback on the patterns, friendly comments on typos, and any further suggestions you might have to improve the patterns. 


Obviously, if you discover math errors, we would need to know that as soon as possible!


I've posted 4 jpgs below which describe each of the four garments. We will only need one test knitter for each size. (Note: You will be disqualified right away if you laugh too much at my professional drawing capabilities. <grin>)


The yarn, Kremke's Edelweiss, is a beautiful alpaca blend that comes in awesome colors. You will have a choice of two colorways for each garment.


I will need photos of your completed garments by October 15, and we'll ask that you start a project page on Ravelry in the test knit section, once I figure out where in the world it is.


If you're interested, please PM me with the project, size, and colorway you would like, along with your shipping address.

 
The cut-off date to sign up is Monday Saturday August 9 at 10 AM Eastern. 

First come, first served.
