I need testers for my Retro Bag Groow - ePattern
Due Date: May 21th (can be extended if needed)
Additional Requirements:
intermediate
sc, alpha pattern, invisible seam
2 colours (150 g each), I used cotton aran yarn and a 4 mm hook
you can use different colours and different yarn (make sure they look nice together)
journal entry and a picture of your work would be nice
most important: feedback about the seam (my bag turned out twisted, I have adjusted this in the instruction and would like to know if it works better this way)
@tweelingart I have completed the bottom of the bag and want to make sure the pattern is aligned, however I am a bit confused. With both the top and bottom of the grid numbered 1-150 and both sides numbered 1-90 all in the same direction am I starting at the bottom row and working up from 90 to 1 or am I starting at the top and working down 1-90 to the bottom. I did work the bottom piece from the bottom up to the top. And what does und mean in round 1 of the body?
@tweelingart@kterry
I’ve just gotten to that part of the pattern, and im also really confused. I’ve tried a few ways to line it up but none of them would’ve matched how the pics look. I think und is meant to mean under maybe back post crochet because I’ve seen that in bags before
I think that I did the bottom wrong because I started at the bottom and went up, because I have never done a grid top down before. When I started in the round that’s when I realized that the grid is being done top down because the strap portion is at the bottom of the grid. Mine is not matching at the bottom but the sides are aligned, so I’m just going to keep going with what I got. I don’t think it’s too big of a problem.
I’m working from top down on the grids, and i still can’t find a way to make them connect quite right, but it doesn’ seem like too much of a problem, so I’ll keep going and try my best with it
When I started the body of the I made sure stitch 60& 61, 75&76, 120& 121 and 135&136 were in the same stitch which forces there to be 15 stitches on each short side of the bag. Things seem to work out after that. Hope it works out.
This bag is so beautiful!! I wish I could test but I believe it’s already in testing but when do you think it will be published? I love your style and I really want to make it even if it’s a paid pattern! I would gladly buy it! @tweelingart
I would love to test this, I just finished a yellow, pink, and orange dress and I have way more leftover yarn than I anticipated. I’d love to make this using some combo of those colors
Chat im so sorry i just saw i was accepted to test this pattern!! My ribblr doesnt send me notifs on testing acceptions, however i’ll get started by tomorrow since i dont have much to do and will have plenty of free time!! Thanks for accepting me!!
Btw, I’ll be using acrylic weight 4 yarn in a toffee color and pink color since it’ll give a cute chocolate strawberry vibe which is what I’ve been wanting in a bag, I also might downsize to a 3 mm due to my loose tension, however I’l tey to use a 4 mm for pattern testing reasons! Tysm for accepting me!
Update: changed the color from pink to white, i had more white than pink so thought id do that instead! Make it like chocolate milk >:]
good luck with testing!
