About the Test Knit
The test knitting and final project must be featured on your Instagram, for this, it’s necessary to have a public Instagram with knitting related photos.
The test knitting is run in Google Docs so having a gmail is necessary.
When signing up for the test, it essential to have a good communication and feedback.
Please follow as closely to the pattern instructions as possible. The sweater must be finished by the deadline date, along with the final form ( I create a survey, so you don’t have to send me your notes). If you cannot meet the deadline, let me know asap. If you don't finish your test on time it affects the whole team behind the production of this pattern and it involves intense re-scheduling.
All comments, suggestions, and questions will take place in Google Docs also I will create a chat group on IG.
Chosen test knitters will be contacted in the upcoming days.
Deadline: 4 weeks.
