As you can tell, I have a few free patterns already available! And they had to go through many edits to see what worked and what didn't work. Not to mention numerous edits on the written pattern. As I am curtently working on numerous patterns at the moment, I need a good group of crocheters to test out some patterns that I have in the works. One still needs to be written out still and I'm currently making a chick.... just in time for Easter (It's on April 1st this year, just as an FYI).
So anyways.... I'm currently trying to build up a database for my pattern testers. I'm currently looking for crocheters of all skill levels and have a good sense of humour. The crocheters need to be willing to expand what they are comfortable with as well as give me feedback and/or questions to help me edit the written pattern prior to release. The crocheters that I need must also be able to finish the pattern in a timely manner as I hope to release the pattern up to a week after I recieve any and all feedback as I will need to edit the pattern before the release. Also, the crocheters must also be informed that posting pictures of the pattern(s) in question at the time of being tested are allowed to be posted on social media as long as I am being tagged in the post and/or the hashtag #thecrochetaholic is being used. Any pictures of the written pattern or sharing of the pattern is strictly prohibitted prior the release of the pattern as I have chosen a select few during each pattern testing. Any violations of this request will result in your removal as a pattern tester. With that being said, I hope that anyone who is considering to be a pattern tester will understand and, if chosen, follow these rules and requests. Now off to the part where you can apply!! Any and all candidates must email me the answers to [email protected] 1) How long have you crocheted for? 2) Why would you think you would be a good pattern tester? 3) Apples or Bananas? 4) Have you tested a pattern before? 5) What can I do for you as a pattern designer? 6) What can I expect from you, as a pattern tester? 7) Tell me about yourself! I want to know more about potential pattern testers! Thank you in advance for applying for those who wish to become a pattern tester! Good luck!
