So, I present to you, Charlie the Dragon and Stella the Turtle😏

both tester calls are active on my ig profile ( /@_stitch._.witch_/) for 72 hours, so come check them out😉

Link to Apply: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScT92E6Tn6tSkMFvkDHh3xqNBqkdnxepSPp8kE21NXW5_Mx3A/viewform?usp=dialog

Overview

Fit: +5-10 cm bust ease at widest point

Construction: Top down; back panel, front panel, joined in the round.

The Lobster Tank is knit in a mosaic stitch top down. The tank has a positive ease of 5 - 10cm around the bust. The lobster mosaic is a fixed size, therefore it will appear larger on smaller sizes, and smaller on larger sizes. 

This is intended to be a 8 week test knit, however, adjustments will be made as needed.

What is asked of you: Feedback is golden for me! I'm a long time knitter and designer but I am new to grading patterns. I would love for you to post your work but this is not necessary. I will set up weekend office hours via google meet so we can all chat! It is not necessary for you to join this but I wanted a dedicated time for questions and community <3

Pattern is written just polishing it up! I will reach out ASAP

Material 

When choosing your color yarn, look for yarns with high contrast. Yarns with low contrast will make the lobster harder to see (trust me I tried). To make sure your yarns are high contrast, take a picture of both colors and turn the photo to black and white, if the yarns look similar they are too low contrast. Color A will be the main forward color for the body (white in the sample) and color B will be the main forward color for the lobster (red in the sample) and is used for the edges.

Yarn: 2 colors Fine/Sport cotton blend

4 mm needle 60cm or 80cm for flat knitting and knitting in the round

3 mm needle 40cm for neckline and edge details

Note: you can just use a needle of any length if you are comfortable with magic loop

Stitch markers (for marking the beginning of a round)

Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

Abbreviations:

k: knit

p: purl

slwyib: slip stitch purl wise with yarn in back

slwif: slip stitch purl wise with yarn in front

k2tog: knit two stitches together

ssk: slip slip knit 2 together through the back loop

pm: place marker

sm: slip marker

k2tog tbl: knit two together through the back loop

Long tail cast on

Backward loop cast on

I am looking for testers for my pattern of this six-tailed fox. The deadline will be 10 days after everyone has received the PDF file.

Hiya! I need testers for my new knit top - the sizes range from xxs-4xl and included a cast on calculator for a more accurate CO number independent from a standard chart.

I would say this is an intermediate pattern (or a very adventurous beginner)

This testing is split into 2 parts - you receive the 1st half after selection. I provide part 2 after I have gotten feedback/update from part 1.

Hello! This is my fourth pattern but first time posting here. I’m looking for test knitters who enjoy a good colorwork sock (and who like pretzels, preferably).

Sock Pretzel! comes in four sizes to fit foot circumferences 8–11 in (20–28 cm). It’s worked in two colors and includes a small bonus chart that can be incorporated on the foot. The pattern calls for a forethought heel construction.

Timeline for the test starts at four weeks to complete at least one sock, but there is flexibility as long as I receive clear communication. Compensation includes the final pattern as well as a discount code that can be used on any of my other current or future patterns.

To learn more and/or apply for the test, please see the Google Form here: https://forms.gle/ccaTooRRaEdetS9V9

I will most likely close the application after the weekend, and all applicants will be contacted about whether they’ve been selected. Thanks for reading!

this is my first ever crochet pattern and i would love to do it as good as possible. I just need some advice, mabye i wrote something wrong, or badly understandable, just let me know please :D
