TESTING CALL - DRIFTLINES

TESTING CALL - DRIFTLINES

*****THE TESTING CALL IS NOW FULL. THANK YOU SO MUCH.****

The testing call is now posted for my newest upcoming pattern - Driftlines. It’s a hybrid accessory that’s a relaxing but definitely not boring knit that features a fun construction! I’m a Gemini and this pattern just makes me so happy as it’s the best of both worlds in my opinion :) It’s two types of accessories put together and it’s both soothing and yet interesting to knit. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Thank you in advance for the kind offer of your valuable time and support for my patterns.

Something New is Coming Soon! Watch for a Testing Call this Month!

Sneak peek of something new ☺️ in the works. A fun accessory that’s a relaxing quick knit that I hope will bring you joy. I can’t wait to show you more (I’ve knit more than 1)!

I’m hoping to have a testing call up later this month. In case you’re interested the pattern uses 2 skeins (or 466yds/426m of worsted weight) of the lovely De Rerum Nature Gilliat. The testing call will always be posted in my newsletter, on Instagram, and in our Ravelry Group (if it’s safe for you to use).

🪴Friends, what have you all been making lately that’s brought you a bit of calm?
