Oh dear readers, the time has come again during which I need some testers. I need 4 total, 1 to just test a small portion of a design and 3 to test the entire thing.
laceweight delicious
The small portion test I would like to be completed within a week and the 3 full tests I would like to be completed as soon as possible, within a month or two preferably.
diamonds are for now
The design to be tested is a rectangular shawl with lace details. Much of the pattern includes charts and some written instructions. The pattern needs to be tested as written with no modifications so that I know that it makes sense, etc.
The project requires 32″ circular size US 6 needles and about 1500 yds of laceweight yarn (preferably in the yarn called for in the design: Bittersweet Woolery’s Stardust Lace in Merfolk, but any laceweight yarn that gets gauge will suffice).
every stitch counts
From testers, I expect regular communication, photos and Ravelry projects to be uploaded and linked once the design is published.
Compensation for the test-knit will include a final version of the pattern once tech-edited as well as another of my patterns of your choosing.
Please email me at sillylittlelady(at)gmail(dot)com if you’d like to participate! Thank you all so so much 
I am sooo happy to have found your blog. I love knitting, it has saved my life
Hey There! I’m glad you found my blog too! Knitting has definitely been a big part of my life, saved it a few times and keeps me sane
Any takers, I mean, testers yet? I would love to help out in any way I can. I always love seeing your designs unfold
I don’t have the yarn in the Artfire shop at this time, but I do have a few skeins held aside if anyone would like to contact me personally. I’ll have more base in to dye in about 10 days.
I don’t have that particular yarn, but I have lots of lace weight to substitute. I’d be happy to test the small portion for you, but I wouldn’t be able to start it until June 12th, maybe a few days before that. Sorry, you caught me near the end of a knit commission with a short deadline, followed by a long term commitment the following week or I’d offer to knit the whole thing. Let me know.
