Now what I've been making this week:

I haven't finished much I'm afraid.

I finished 

my son's toy

My son likes Moshi Monsters

but we aren't buying him any toys 

at the moment as his birthday is getting closer.

In the meantime I decided to make him

something he could pretend with.

I also made another preemie cardigan

This pattern is from Panther Dragon

Preemie Shirt Set

I'm afraid I haven't finished the latest

book that I am reading.

I'll hopefully have the review next week.

Now what have you been making this week?

Sunday Thank You's!

My negative for today: Went out to watch my son sledging yesterday which was a fantastic positive

but then paying for it today!  asthma woke me up at 4am this morning & my nasal infection

is back again!

Positive:  Little Red (my son) loved the snow

He also made his first snow angel :-)

My other thing to be positive about is my wonderful

I would like to thank them all for their hard work.

Pattern Testers

I am looking for some pattern testers.

I am looking for 2 testers for each pattern

You can choose which pattern you would like to test.

You will have to supply your own yarn but you will get a copy of the finished pattern for your use.

You can use what ever colour you have available.

I want testers that are willing to say if anything is confusing or the pattern doesn't work.

All constructive criticism welcome.

The yarn is double knit which I think the equivalent is worsted yarn 3 or 4.

The pattern is in U.S. crochet terms.

Panda Hat Newborn-12months. You choose which size you prefer to make

Lion Hat 3yrs+  (I find the hat stretches to adult size)

Sew on Googly eyes required or you can design your own eyes

Lion Scarf

Cat Bib

Sew on Googly eyes required or you can design your own eyes

Approx. once a month I will post patterns that need testing.

So keep looking out for them.

I will also hopefully have a free pattern coming soon!

Watch This Space :-)

Details

I supply you the pattern:- a pdf pattern by email

You make it with your own yarn

You advise me of any queries/problems/mistakes

When you have finished you supply me with a picture of what you have made

I post the picture on the blog so people can see your wonderful work

I supply you with the altered pattern for your own use.

If you are a tester of my pattern can you please follow this blog or like my business on facebook.

Thanks

Just a note I supply the pattern for your use only but I don't mind if you sell the items that you make

Please if you do make the items for sale give credit to me as the designer :-)
