Magical III: call for test knitters

I've got a new pattern in the works! I think I've worked out most of the issues, but still need yardages.

predicted measurements for sizes 1-12:

shoulders: 158 cm, 175 cm, 193 cm, 210 cm, 228 cm, 245 cm, 263 cm, 280 cm, 298 cm, 315 cm, 333 cm, 350 cm)

bust: 93 cm, 103 cm, 113 cm, 125 cm, 135 cm, 145 cm, 157 cm, 167 cm, 177 cm, 188 cm, 198 cm, 208 cm)

it's got optional short rows for shaping the neck and back, and the hems are all folded in on themselves for a clean, finished look.

I'm using Malabrigo sock (MC) and Hedgehog Fibers sock (CC).

dm me if you're interested in test-knitting any of these sizes!

Hey people who design knitting patterns for sweaters, how do?

Particularly interested in figuring out an algorithm for altering sweaters to fit atypical body types, particularly for trans and nonbinary and otherwise queer people. I am confident I can eventually do this because I am going to hyperfixate on this, math and algorithms are my favorite, and I have a good understanding of knit sweater construction types.

However, I think I should probably start small and learn about things such as "grading" [what even is that] and "designing a sweater for many different sizes."
