| Requirements from the maker |
1) Give an update about your progresses once a week, even if you made none. 2) Inform me every time you run into a problem/have questions or doubts or suggestions. Please do not wait until the end of the test and the filling of the survey for mentioning an error or pointing out something confusing, but use the test chat for discussing any issue. 3) Use the test chat for any communication about the pattern, do not use personal messages, emails or other social media unless you have to discuss some personal issues with me. 4) I am not a native english speaker, so I’d appreciate any help in correcting grammar & spelling errors, and in improving clarity of instructions. 5) Take note of how much yarn you use as I would like to check the amounts given in the pattern. 6) Create a ravelry project page with good quality pictures linked to the pattern. To do this, please use the pre-release ravelry code to fill the field 'Pattern name'. Be sure to fill the correct field (not the 'project name'!)
