I’m currently getting ready to test my next pattern. This is always exciting for me because I love the testing stage of pattern designing!

What is a pattern tester? It’s when a group of people get a pattern in advance of its publication in order to… well, test it. It helps the designer make sure there aren’t any lingering issues, typos, or confusing instructions. Last month I was interviewed by Amanda from Little Likac Yarn on her podcast about test knitting, so definitely suggest you check it out, if you’re curious! It can be a lot of fun, as long as you don’t mind that the pattern probably won’t be perfect yet!
I have a tester pool for my test knits, which is always the first place I go to find testers, and you can join it too, if you want, just go to this page and drop your details! There is no commitment to get involved in any particular test, it just means that you find out about them first! And if you do a test and complete it then you get the final pattern and a free pattern of your choice from my catalogue!
