    I am loving it! If I am advanced enough or if ist ok to join as a beginner-medium-knitter, I m glad to testknitt it! But: I could not sing. up for an e-mail-call-up as I have no instagram...how does it work? Love out!! Bravo, you can be so proud!!

    • @lowkeyboldknit
      @lowkeyboldknit วันที่ผ่านมา

      I’m glad you like it and are interested in test knitting! 🤩 about the jacket: I will mark it as an advanced pattern. It is not THAT difficult, but you have to be comfortable with managing 3 strands of yarn, following multiple steps at a time (ex. for the yoke shaping, increasing for the arm and increasing for the neckline at the same time). However, I try to make my patterns detailed enough, so that everyone who is ambitious, even at lower skill level, can try it ☺️ so if you are up for the challenge - go for it!

    • @lowkeyboldknit
      @lowkeyboldknit วันที่ผ่านมา

      Now about the test knits: I ask for instagram handle for two things. I usually have more test knit applications than there will be testers, so Instagram and Ravelry profiles really help me choose test knitters. Second, more important: during test knitting period there is an instagram group chat, to which all test knitters are added, they notify me about the problems or ask questions, I notify them about pattern corrections and so on. So having Instagram it is almost necessary 😏 But for the time being, you can sign up and just write that you don’t have Instagram and will see about that in the future when you apply for the jacket or any other design ☺️

    Interesting to see the proces of designing a knit. I always expected that it would be a drawing first with all the colours already figured out

    • @lowkeyboldknit
      @lowkeyboldknit วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for watching!😊 For me it’s sometimes like that, but not always. Generally speaking color is not that important for me, because people who knit my patterns will choose something else entirely and freestyle with color however they want! More important is the idea of a knit itself and construction of the garment. And if I feel strongly about the idea that I have, I go in to designing even if not all the details are figured upfront 😊 Most of the time I don’t know the finishings unless it’s a design feature 😅
