Test Knitters

I have now shared over 200 free patterns - and I still have loads of ideas for more designs!

 Many of you lovely readers ask for bigger (and smaller) sizes of my patterns.

 I can write patterns faster than I can test them! And that really slows me down.

I don't want to publish patterns with errors - that is so frustrating for those who follow the patterns ..... So I decided to try asking some lovely members of my fb group if anyone would test knit for me. I was overwhelmed by the response!
Over 100 people volunteered!  

I sent out instructions for bigger sizes of 'Jack & Jill' to 24 knitters.

And here is the result ~

I listened to the comments ~ all in all not too bad !

• I had mis-numbered a couple of rows in the larger size
• Several knitters suggested the neck was too wide
• The sleeves were a little long on the larger size

It has all been a great learning curve. I have altered the instructions to take on board the comments so far .......and I really want to say a massive thank you to everyone who got involved. I really appreciate your help and support.
