TESTER CALL: Threads of Extinction - Minis

Name of Pattern: Threads of Extinction - Minis

Hello everyone! I'm hoping to find some testers here for my mini versions of extinct beasts (I have larger versions currently in testing).

The photo attached is a sampler I made to show the mini designs: Glyptodon, Dodo, Mammoth.

I'm more than happy for you to make your project bigger or smaller, and choose which of the creatures/patterns you include.

Hook size required: This depends on your yarn choice/hook size preference. I used Aran yarn and a 4.5mm hook. You can choose whatever thickness yarn you'd like, and use the hook size you're most comfortable with.

Other tools required: Scissors; as this is overlay mosaic, you'll be fastening off at the end of each row.

Yarn requirements: At least 2 contrasting colours of yarn, in any thickness you choose. I used Yarnsmiths Create Aran for the majority of mine, and used around 700-800g.

Level of skill required: Experience with overlay mosaic would be ideal, but if you're willing to learn to give this a try, that's fine with me!

Written/Charted: Both written instructions and X-marked charts included, for both left and right handed crocheters.

Tester requirements: I'd like clear, frequent communication and updates, as well as nitpicky, direct feedback 😂. I'd also like clear photos of the finished project in natural light, which can be used to advertise the pattern upon release (with full credit given!).

Testing deadline: The test will start June 1st and end 31 July 2026.

Number of testers needed: 6

Feel free to ask if you have any questions! Thanks.

Looking for tester for a handmade mandala!

Hi all, I hope this is allowed! I can't find a single spot to place this that would make sense.

I make handmade mandalas with the Ojo de Dios technique. I've been doing this for 5 years and finally created my first tutorial, so I am looking for 4 to 5 testers to create this piece!

Type of pattern: Ojo de Dios, handmade weaving. Total size is 50cm diameter

Deadline: 2 to 3 weeks ( I understand this will be something new for many people and it might take some time, besides, it's a complex and long tutorial)

Ideally you'd have some general idea on how this is done, although I do explain it to the best of my abilities, and there are about 14 videos with the stpe by step creation of the piece.

You can work with whatever colors you prefer, no need to exactly replicate the piece!

My goal is to:

Understand how comprehensive the tutorial is

Look for parts you may have found more challenging

Look for possible mistakes, issues with video or written pattern, etc.

Any advice, following the pattern, that can help make this as convenient and intuitive as possible

The main material that might be news for most, and the most challenging to get, are the metal rods (or wooden, although I do advise against it) that are the base structure for this piece. Nevertheless, they're usually available worldwide at a hardware store.

Please reach out if you'd be interested in learning and trying something new :)

Looking for testers

Hey everyone, I am looking for testers for my new top.

It's made in cotton yarn and a 3.00mm hook.

The level is easy, beginner.

You don't have to do the math, there is a calculator in the pattern.

You just have to take your measurements and insert them on the calculator and it will give you the number of chains, rows and stitches.

Message me or comment if you are interested🧶🫰🏻

Test - Teasel Scarf

Hi everyone. I'm introducing the Teasel Scarf, which is fully tech edited and ready to test. All the details are below. Thanks!

The Teasel scarf. A mini scarf for spring and summer, inspired by the tall, sculptural shapes of teasels swaying through meadows and hedgerows.

Knitted tip to tip, the scarf gradually widens to a narrow width before tapering again, with a motif reminiscent of seedheads and stems along its length. An I-cord edge gives the piece a neat finish, while the narrow shape makes it easy to wear knotted at the neck, draped loosely over the shoulders, or tucked into a jacket on cooler days. Sweet little bobbles add a seedlike detail.

Worked in my Darwin 4ply, this scarf has a lovely lightness that suits the season beautifully. The crisp stitch definition shows off the travelling lines and textured details, making it a calm project for warm afternoons and knitting in the garden.

Sizes: One size (see instructions on page 4 for adding repeats)

Finished measurements: 

Sample 1: Length 101cm/ 40”, width 13cm/ 5”

Needles: Size 3.75 mm (US 5) circular needles, or needle size to obtain gauge

Cable needle if not using the ‘no cable needle’ method

Notions: Tapestry needle, cable needle, stitch markers

Gauge: 23 sts x 20 rows = 7cm x 7.5cm/ 2.75” x 3” measured over motif pattern after blocking.

Yarn: Annabel Williams Darwin 4ply (4ply weight, 100% Falklands, 400 m/437.5 yds per 100g/ 3.5oz skein), 1 skein

Teal sample shown in colourway - “Teasel”

Pink sample shown in “Burnet”

Sample 1 took 172m/188yds (1 skein)

Sample 2 took TBC (TBC skeins)

Deadline: Wednesday, the 27th of May.

TO APPLY - https://www.yarnpond.com/pattern_tests/6040

Please ensure:

  • You’re able to meet the deadline
  • You’re happy to receive your pattern and make comments and suggestions in Google Docs only (not in this thread).
  • You’re able to create a project page in Ravelry and provide a photo.

YARN DISCOUNT: When applying, please indicate whether you plan to use stash yarn or the original yarn used in the pattern. A 20% discount is available for the original yarn. Please note that your yarn choice does not affect selection for the test. The deadline is extended for international knitters who purchase the yarn (UK based).

Compensation
Test knitters who complete the Tee by the deadline and provide the required information on their project page will receive the final version of the pattern, access to my full library of patterns, and a 20% discount code for my yarn store.

Thank you everyone!
