It did not take me too long. e.g. a little more than a week. But everyone is different :-)
I really appreciate the time and effort required to test a new pattern and the dedication needed to complete the testing within the timeline.
I have more designs in the pipeline to test. If you are unable to make this time, I can keep you on my list and let you know when I make future test calls :hearts:

The pattern is ready for testing.

This vest is knitted using DK weighted yarn, making it versatile to wear. You can make it using plant-based fibre like the sample for a summer top, or using wool and layer it with a long sleeve top in the winter.

If you are interested, feel free to apply and state the size you want to test.

Thanks again for all your support and well wishes​:heart:

Yeah since the due date is only about 3 days away now I’m sure I wouldn’t finish in time lol
I would like to be kept on your list though! I feel like I never see knit tester calls, on here anyway
