#pattern testing

Close up of Felix with the spider on his tail 😜

He is pretty chill about it. Off to do some more binding. Just got a few quilts back from my long arm quilter

After extensive testing and input through my testers it became apparent to me that my pattern would need further testing. I have a better idea of what to expect and I have reworked the pattern and stitching to be easier to work with.

I will also be taking tests and photos through raverly. Here's My raverly for future reference (copy paste cus tumblr is dumb about links: https://www.ravelry.com/people/Lutea-arts . I'll send out project codes to keep things organized. You can contact me through other platforms, and I'll send you the pattern there. but I still need you to post your project to raverly by the end. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE THE CODE, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL SHOW YOU.

Requirements:

Send me a link or pdf of previous crochet projects (this is an intermediate pattern after all.)

A raverly. If you do not have a raverly, I encourage you to get one. Its FREE! this is where you will be posting your project pics. (i can give instructions on how to do so if there is any confusion.)

Give me periodic input and updates of your progress.

Skill level: intermediate to advanced

The end size of project should be 7 x 6 inches.

Gauge: 8 by 13 stitches in 4 inches.

Materials:

• 4 color skeins of acrylic worsted weight yarn: red, brown, green, and white/tan. (any brand will do. I myself used threads and loops for the prototype. you can use cotton if you like.)

• H hook.

• Darning needle

• 8 inch zipper (optional)

• Swivel lobster clasps and D rings (optional. Also both look like these.)

Fabric lining (a fat quarter , ect.)

I will take testers from March 19th to March 26th.

Deadline is April 3rd , 2026. (An extension can be requested.)

Contacting me: You can comment or message me here , on raverly , or through my other sites on my link hub in bio. I will keep a list of testers on the post (unless some testers wish to remain autonomous.)

are you a knitter? do you enjoy sylvanian families? yes you!! 🫵🫵🫵🫵 i have a pattern for you!

jokes aside, you may or may not know that i have been working on a sylvanian jumper-cardigan-thing pattern. it's kind of finished but i would like some help in making sure it actually works. if you’re interested in testing it, or know someone who might, shoot me a dm and i'll send you the pattern!

the jumper-cardigan-thing in question:

New pattern now in testing phase! If all goes well, this'll be up on Etsy in a couple of weeks.

The original garment is a c. 1905 wool, velvet, and chenille-embroidered jacket (suitable for a walking ensemble or dinner dress alike - it probably would have gone over a pretty shirtwaist & had a matching skirt) with a 40” (101cm) bust & max waist of 36" (91cm).

I tried on a mockup and the back fits very well, so I’m calling this an L/XL size and have included a bust extension to 43”, though this can also be worn open for larger busts.

Would you like to work with me?
