I just saw this post for the first time. I’m still sick, yet still trying to work on my testing, even though I’m struggling on and off with a fever. I’ve been communicating with the designers as much as I can (I actually had taken an extra small one testing that should be done fast) and I usually take way too many pictures and communicate way too much, I feel I bug them and wonder if they roll their eyes when they see " oh my, it’s another message from her AGAIN". I do sent notes when I notice something and I’m so afraid to offend the designer because I’m a complete beginner, but it’s mostly grammar, pointing out they forgot to list something, maybe the explanation was not clear, but I’d never just say : "I can do your pattern better. "(If that’s the case, instead of being a tester just become a designer, right? And just disappearing is so dishonest. There are a lot of patterns I’d love to test but I know it’s beyond what I can do. Lots that I wish I could afford the pattern but I know I don’t have the materials or the time to do. I know I will have to buy them later and I know I won’t be able to afford them easily, but I DON’T offer to test to get the pattern because I know I won’t finish it. Right now I am just happy my fever is down so I can be here catching up with some posts and social media, with my fluffy yarn in my quiet room and have time and the brains to work on my happy zen for a few hours.
