Ravelry has groups for knit/crochet pattern testers. Last month I signed up to test 3 knit patterns. It was a lot fun.
First, I tested this cool design:
Unwind The Night Tribe Beanie (pattern on Ravelry)
(my project pages with yarn info: brown/ivory, merlot/ivory)
This pattern was already well written and easy to follow going into the testing phase. I enjoyed the pattern so much that I made two beanies! The designer was great to work with, too.
Next up are these lovely mittens:
Starliner beanie - Super easy pattern and that knits up fast with this Ella Rae Chunky yarn.
This month...
I also whipped up this easy Turtleneck Dog Sweater for my girl, Lucy. (I'll link to the pattern once it's published.) The pattern calls for super chunky weight yarn, making this a quick afternoon project.
I'm also working on another tester beanie with a neat stitch pattern called the Twinkle Toque. Catherine of Smallbirdworkshop is the creator of this and many other beautiful patterns and yarn, too. As for this hat, I have quite a bit of knitting left to do. My only dislike is that it calls for using thin yarn, so it's a much slower knit for me than usual. My yarn choice...
Remember the Night Tribe Beanie from above? Well, that designer has another great pattern up for testing right now called the Spiral Slouch Beanie.
This was a fun knit! This hat was very quick and easy to create and looks great. I hope to test for her again in the future! You can check out more of her work on instagram: unwind_knitwear.

Eloquence (pattern on Ravelry)
(my project page: mittens)
These were nice to knit and the pattern was easy to follow. Bobbles (on the wrist section) were new to me and a little tricky at first, but add such nice detail! After a few rounds I had the pattern down and it was rather relaxing.
