[sarahdawnsdesigns]

So, I've finally gone and gotten the Fire and Light Shawl test-knit posted, and I'm looking for two more testers! The test deadline is July 15, but that can be extended at need!

It's a half-circle shawl using 976 yards (892 meters) of yarn, with a mix of written and charted instruction.

All the details are up on yarnpond - if you're interested, please check it out!

The Little Cafe socks are ready to be tested! These socks are designed to show off every kind of colourway, from variegated to tonal. A simply cable twist adorns the cuff before flowing into slipped stitches, like espresso pouring into a mug.

I knit mine up in Arcane Fibre Works Merino Nylon Fingering, but any fingering weight sock yarn will work!

I’m looking for testers for four adult sizes. You can find all the info and apply here.

It’s been a bit of chaos to get here, but the Dumpling Rabbit pattern is ready to be tested! These little buddies are knit in the round with DK weight cotton yarn, and the pieces seamed together to assemble.

The finished rabbits stands at about 28cm tall (not including the ears) and is 11cm wide at the widest point on the body - perfect for squishability!

I knit mine up with Cascade 220 Ultra Pima, but any DK weight cotton yarn will work. The sweater and pants are each made with 50 yards of any DK weight wool, so any leftovers in your stash are well suited for this project.
