| Requirements from the maker |
Feedback regarding clarity and accuracy of pattern. Yardage used. Clear photos of finished garment in linked Ravelry project page. Preference will be given to testers with better photography in their Ravelry/ IG projects. While I love an enthusiastic test knitting group, it can cause me to miss important pattern questions and problems that are posted in the group chat. I encourage you to share pictures, progress updates, colorway inspirations, and conversations in the yarnpond chat, and post your questions and corrections as comments in the Google doc of the pattern. |
