Want to be a Tester for daisyknots mosaic crochet designs?
I’m looking for testers to test my mosaic crochet pattens. Currently the patterns vary from different size blankets down to cushions. I’m looking for people from all crochet levels including beginners or hesitant crocheters as they often read the patterns very closely thus spotting errors.
So I am looking for people who:
-
Can read mosaic crochet charts and spot if the all important drop treble X is missed out or in the wrong place.
-
Can spot pattern instruction errors and give suggestions on how to correct the error.
-
Can keep me updated with photographic and written records of your progress.
-
Can communicate via facebook as there is a Testers FB group setup with individual events for each test pattern.
-
Are able to respond to messages within a reasonable time frame.
-
Can make a gauge swatch and adjust hook size according to the pattern.
-
Can monitor and record yarn usage for yardage recommendations.
-
Are able to get the yarn for the pattern tests as this is not supplied.
-
Are able to work to deadlines and be open about any potential delays.
What you get is:
-
The satisfaction of being one of the first to see and make a new product.
-
The experience of reading mosaic charts and patterns which will help to develop your own designer skills.
-
Your final piece featured and credited on my social media platforms.
-
Permission to keep the pattern and to sell your test piece once the pattern goes live, subject to designer credit.
-
A unique opportunity to be part of a select community in what is essentially a mini CAL for new and exciting mosaic patterns!
So how it works is:
-
If your application to be a tester is successful you will be added to daisyknots testers facebook group.
-
The briefs for all new patterns are stored in the files section of this group.
-
Decide which pattern you would like to test and please be realistic of your time commitments when choosing the pattern.
-
Once I receive your request I will add you to the appropriate test group.
-
Throughout the test, testers will upload photos of their progress to the test group.
-
Any errors found will be posted in the test group so that the other testers are aware of them.
Legal stuff:
All my patterns are copyrighted and you cannot copy, share, redistribute, sell, alter or re-write any part of my patterns. Doing so will result in instant removal from the Testers group and is also illegal. Please only apply to be a tester if you are happy to accept this.
To apply please enter your details below.
I will then send you a pattern to proof and markup, as this enables me to see if we are a good fit as designer and tester.
