Test Knitting
Seeking Testers
I’m seeking secret preview knitters for the Solitaire pullover!
DUE DATE:
8/3/2022
I have exclusive access to a coupon code for those interested in using Flying Fibers Seadale, the suggested yarn. I’m specifically looking for at least two testers per size interested in using this gorgeous yarn, but please let me know if you have something else in mind. Using Seadale is encouraged, but not a requirement for this preview knit. A comparable, worsted weight yarn with great stitch definition would make a suitable alternative.
Please fill out the contact form below for the opportunity to test my new design. Thank you so much!
