Test Knitter Database

So, you might already know, but in case you dont.... The Wool Dispensary Kickstarter project was fully funded on August 10th! Thanks to everyone who supported us with backing, tweeting, blogging, and generally love :)

In other news, I am looking to compile a database of folks interested in test knitting patterns. I have several patterns in various stages of completion that will be released this fall through next spring, and they all need testing!

The designs are all accessories and range from hats to larger pieces, and are in various weights of yarn from sock to extra bulky.

I cannot offer yarn support or compensation, but I can offer a lovely finished copy of the pattern once it's complete, and also the ability to knit some awesome new projects before anyone else can!

If you are interested in test knitting, please reply to this thread in the BreeanElyse group on Ravelry.

I'll be posting upcoming testing opportunities in that thread.

Stay tuned!

P.S. Here are some sneak peek snapshots of upcoming designs...

Pattern Preview - French Braid Cowl

The French Braid Cowl will be one pattern of a collection that I'm releasing just in time for Malabrigo March. The patterns will be available for individual purchase, as well as bundled together as an e-book.

A few of the patterns for this collection are currently being test knit by a bevy of awesome knitters. You can track their progress in the test knitting thread of the BreeanElyse group on Ravelry.

I have long admired Elaine's projects (yarnsnob on Ravelry), and thought she might like my new designs, so I sent her a message on Ravelry asking if she'd like to be a tester. To my amazement, she agreed and speedily went to work this past weekend - and is now over the halfway point in finishing her French Braid Cowl project!

She's also posted some beautiful pictures of her WIP on her blog - GORGEOUS. Thanks Elaine!
