Need Tester for My New Shawl Knitting Pattern

ETA: I have enough testers. Thank you!

I need some testers to test my new pattern. It's called Metropolitan Shawl. I know the name is funny. I am not very good in choosing name. The reason I name it Metropolitan is because in certain angle, this pattern looks like 3D blocks to me. It reminds me of the buildings in the big cities.

This scarf begins with stitches cast on for the lace edge along the two lower sides, then stitches are decreased to produce a triangle shape.

You need to have about 355 sock yarn to make this. I am using Dream in Color Smooshy 100% Merino Wool.

Finished Size: 102 cm (40" across top edge, 51 cm (20") long from centre top to point. Anybody interested, email me at lprajogo@hotmail.com.

Oh, one more thing, you need to post your FO in Ravelry as well.

Thanks in advance.

I Need Tester!

As you are aware that I always writing my pattern using 2 weight yarns, fingering/4 ply/sport and DK weight. The reason is because I always enjoy to knit using thinner yarn, but understand that most of people don’t. One exception is my Sage Cardigan Pattern. This is my first pattern and the only pattern that is not written in 2 different weight yarn and not a top down pattern. Thus, I decided to redesign something similar like Sage Cardigan, but knitting using the top down method, and this time I use worsted weight yarn, Ella Rae Shibu. It’s 90% silk and 10% viscose. It feels soft and has a tweedy look.


This yarn frustrated me at first, because it splits and feels hard in my hand. Knitting it with Addi lace needle make it worst. I am a tight knitter and the stitches could not glide easily in Addi Lace needle. At one time, I made a mistake that required me to frog about 2 balls worth of knitting, and decided it was not worth the effort and ready to move on to another new project. However, before flushing this project to the drain, I went to Ravelry and see what other peoples said about this yarn, and what they made. Surprisingly they all like this yarn and I saw a lot of stunning sweaters made of this yarn, so I decided to continue and bought 4.00 mm Addi Turbo.

I am not disappointed with my decision. I just love the result so far. Just another sleeve and the collar to finish. Anyway, I need testers again. This time I wrote my pattern for 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60” bust. I started to knit on 14 Oct and it’s almost finish now, so this is a relatively a quick project.

Anybody interested to test this pattern email me or leave a comment here. Don’t forget to tell me what size you want to test. As usual I can not afford to pay you with money or yarn but I will give you the final version of this pattern and another of my pattern of your choice. Thanks!

Lauri Knit Dress

I got this Elann Sonata yellow color. But it’s only 5 balls. I don’t think it’s enough to make something for me. Thus I decided to make a dress for Lauri. Just a simple dress with 2 pockets for the details.

What do you think? Anybody interested to test the pattern? I haven’t finished write it yet. Probably next week.

Granny Square Blanket

I have finished my Empire Top last week. However, I still haven’t washed and blocked it yet. Now I am in the process of writing the pattern. Hopefully I can finish it by next week.

Anybody interested in testing the pattern? I am planning to write the pattern both in sport and DK weight. It needs about 9 balls x 50 gram yarn for size M. Drop me an email if you are interested.

Now, since I am finished with that top, I am making crocheted blanket again. It’s actually not a new project. It’s an old project that I started long time ago. Since I haven’t finished writing down the pattern of the Empire Top, I can’t start designing new project, they will mixed up in my mind. So in the mean time, I am doing this mindless project.
