So as we wrap up 2024, I started thinking about my accomplishments last year. My biggest accomplishments involved crochet. Not only did I grow as a designer and as a crocheter in general, but I also discovered this amazing crafting community. I joined this summer, and one of my first interactions on here was testing an octopus pattern, my first pattern test. Honestly, there was nothing like the excitement I felt when I saw that I had been accepted for a test, especially since I had 0 karma and was new to how the community worked. I just thought it would be nice to express our appreciation for the people who took the risk of letting their pattern be our first test. I’ll never forget how grateful I was, and I always try to accept 0 karma testers and give them a chance because I always remember the joy I felt when accepted for the first time. This being said, thank you so much @KaylaDvs for accepting me as a tester, you have no idea how much it means. This is a pic of what I tested by the way:
What was your first pattern test and who accepted you? Let’s show our appreciation for the amazing designers on ribblr and share our biggest achievements.
I want to thank @Hannahelise96. She was the first person who accepted me for testing this cutie.
Now the little kid I babysit on has it and he loves it sm
My first pattern test was for @PurpleXLeaves and on New Year’s I finished another pattern test for her. Just wanna say: Thank you so much! With that pattern test, I understood how Ribblr and testing works. It was an incredible joy, when I got choosen, I just couldn’t be more excited. I’ll post the finished project in next reply.
mine was this turtle by @LatteCrochet ! i was so nervous about being a good tester because i had just started crocheting for less than a month and i was so grateful that i was given a chance with 0 karma thank you so much!!
