The More You Know:

1. Test Knitters. Last call.
   1. As I mentioned before, I’ve been spending some quality time with the pattern I’ve been writing. I think it’s just about there. I just need to finish my samples and make sure the pictures are added to the pattern. Then it’s all up to my wonderful test knitters. If you’d still like to test knit my pattern, it DOES knit up quick. Any yarn weights are fine, although I’d like a tester for DK/Sport/Worsted weight, if possible. Any Skill level knitter is fine. It’s a simple knit, I promise! Please shoot me an e-mail at silversdreamland@gmail.com, and I’ll be willing to let you test it. Deadline will be Sunday the 26^th of August.
