Thanks for joining me this week! What are you working on this week? Have you test knit before?

Another wonderful episode! I can't wait for Lauder to be released so I can knit one!! I've done a few test knits now. I enjoy it so much, but try to stick to one at a time or it gets a bit stressful to try and finish them on time. 😊

I was just recently asked to test knit something, but I'm afraid of not finishing on time. I'm really a sloth knitter and knitting is my hobby and relaxation. Felt the deadline might make me stressed. Had to decline

@@user-mu5sb5rb2b There will always be another time! I’ve seen many designers that give a 12+ week deadline. ☺️

I can’t wait to see your Opal Sweater!!!!

Awe thank you! It's super easy to do, just a triple barrel curling iron. Takes me like 10 minutes!

The Lauder cardigan looks like its going to be so cosy! I've only test knit a handful of smaller projects but definitely enjoyed them. One thing that puts me off is I'm knitting on a budget so would only test knit something if I had some yarn in stash that's suitable, but I have managed that a few times.

You can definitely always use more affordable yarns too! Have you tried anything from Knit Picks before? Wool & Co also has a ton of affordable yarns (and free shipping USA wide which really helps!)

@@birchandlily thank you! I'm not in the US, so not sure I'd want to add shipping costs onto yarn purchases, but I've been using quite a bit of Drops which I can get quite affordably here if need be. Other than that is just diving into my stash or using stuff others have passed on to me!

@@birchandlily yes definitely, I have more than enough to keep me going anyway, even if it's not the best quality yarn 😂

I did the scalloped edged cardigan. - mine is wide at the top too.

Interesting, it definitely didn't look that way to me in most other testers photos. Thanks for letting me know!

Hmm maybe that is it. I'll make sure to mention if the buttonband re-jig works when I get to it!

I love Corgis.... Pembrook or Cardigan?
