CALL FOR PATTERN TESTERS!

Test is for a fingerless mitt or full mitten, knit in an easy slip-stitch colorwork pattern and featuring an afterthought thumb and cuff in a contrasting solid color. It requires 135-275 yards total of fi*****ng weight yarn.

The pattern is written in 4 sizes, to fit sizes Youth/ Adult XS, S/M, M/L and L/XL (finished circumference 6 ½ (7 ½, 8 ½, 9 ½)' [16.5 (19, 21.5, 24) cm]). The stitch pattern can be worked from either chart or written instructions, and the chart is in grayscale for color-blind accessibility.

I'll be running this test on Yarnpond and the deadline is October 25th. Click the link below to apply.

(Okay, not really) This sweater was a favorite once upon a time, but it no longer fits, so I'm reclaiming the yarn to make something new. Do you think about the end of life of your garments? What's your favorite way to weave in ends?
