My Fashionable Life

I'm interested!

But did you grumble a bit? You are human, aren't you?

I'm interested, so sorry to hear that you have been let down, but glad to hear that you remain unbowed :)

I'm interested!
I've bought a few of your patterns before & love them all. I'll even make booties on the side!

I'm interested!

I'd do it. The test knitting. I'd do the sewing too, but my machine appears to be dead.

I'm interested :)

I'm interested. I'm assuming the yarn will be supplied, right?

I wish I had a good tote bag source. I bought a bag at maptote.com a while back, I think the prices have gone up. They are nice, but the cotton is very thin.

I'm interested

I, too, am interested.

I don't know what you have in mind when saying cheap, but Becky over at www.skinnyrabbit.com is a knitter who makes fabulous totes. You can see them here:
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5091375
or here:
http://www.shop.tortillagirl.com/
Looks like you have quite a lot of volunteers for testknitting already. Makes me happy to see, since my own scedule is too crammed for any projects at all, I have trouble finding time for my own knitting. Good luck with the book, I'm looking forward to see it!
And good luck with your baby!

I'm here! I just wanted to let you know I was here....but you don't want me as a test knitter, I'm way too slow!

I'm interested, Anna.

Try "Tipsy Knitter" over at etsy. Here's the link:

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=59495

I have 3 of her bags myself and have gifted 3 and everyone loves them. Very well made and quick turn around.

I am interested! Will you be doing the finishing work?

I am interested if you need any more.

I'm interested in being a test knitter.

I also have a small business - Knitting Ewe on the Go - right now I have "custom" project bags available.
www.knittingeweonthego.blogspot.com
I could do various sizes for you in any fabric you wanted.

I'm interested.

I'm interested too! :)

I'm interested. I am located in Canada and have been a test knitter (and crocheter) before. I can provide references. Thanks!

I'm interested in a small scale project, if you have those available.

Knitting bags with square or rectangular bottoms are fantastic. This makes them a little more pyramid like than rectangular or square draw string bag, but I find the flat bottom more practical. Due to my yarn eating dog, I have resorted to zip lock bags so he can't easily pull it out of a bag. There's a half-gallon size that has an expanding bottom.

I'm interested, assuming the yarn is provided (if not, sorry, money's been really tight lately and I have zero room in my budget for yarn right now.) Also, tortillagirl at etsy.com has several really cute totes that may or may not interest you.

yipes. i'm interested - can I play, too?

I am ready, willing and able, an experienced knitter,have written a few patterns of my own, and could give you references to attest to my knitting ability if you so desire. I live in the US, though. Are you looking for knitters in the UK only? Test knitting for your book would be a thrill!

It sounds like you've got a lot of people already, but I'm also interested, also provided the yarn would be included. I hope things have been going well for you, I've missed your posts!

i, too, am interested :-)

Ooh, let me jump on the "me too" wagon also. I live in US as well, but that shouldn't matter much, right? As long as I allow time for shipping? You can see a few things I've knit on my flickr page ( www.flickr.com/photos/jacqueline-w ). I've even been a test knitter before - but you won't see pictures of that because me, I can keep a secret :).

Hello Anna,
I am new to the internet,but not to knitting!
I can' t wear all the stuff I knit for myself. I love your style and have ordered the book with the Bridie pattern in so I can knit it asap.
I would be pleased to "test drive" your patterns. I live in Nottingham.
Look forward to hearing from you.

See you have plenty of people interested, but I thought I'd just add my name. I live in Belgium, so not to far. I won't commit to really big patterns, but I managed to test-knit a pair of knee high socks in a week, so I can do something like that. If you need anyone else, feel free to let me know. I expect nothing in return but a picture of the "worn" object! :D

Greets from Belgium!

I'm interested and would be happy to help.

I'm not interested (in the test knitting, that is) but wanted to show you my support. I can't imagine all you're accomplishing right now. Remember to rest!

I'm interested too!

It seems like you have a lot of volunteers already, but I am also interested. I've done sample/test knitting in the US for Farmhouse Yarns (www.farmhousesyarns.com)and had always communicated and met deadlines.

As far as tote bag, I'm using a bag my cousin gave me for Christmas/birthday last year. She got it from here: http://www.designhergals.com/

You can design what the graphics on the tote and wording too. Mine has a girl resembles me with knitting needles on her hand with my blog name under it.

And you can see mine here: http://calgalatrpi.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-am-alive.html

I'd love to do some test knitting!

You probably have plenty, but I'm still interested!

Hiya. I'm definitely interested. I work at Hilltop Yarn shop in Seattle, WA, U.S and I often knit up samples for the store.

I'm on ravelry if you want to see some of my previous knitting.

Looking forward to your book either way!

I'm sure you have plenty of test knitters, but if not, I am certainly interested!

I'm interested if you still need people. I'm located in Canada.

i'm interested in test-knitting for you!

also, i sew and especially like making useful/good-looking bags for knitting, books, everyday use. if you are interested, i can photo a few of those which i have on hand at the moment so you could see the style and workmanship.

perhaps i will hear from you soon!

I am definitely interested.

It looks like you've got it covered, but if not, I'd be happy to help test knit.

I would love to be able to help, although it looks like you have plenty of volunteers. I might have trouble with the deadline and knitting skill part, but I would be more than willing to try my best if needed.
Chin up! We're all behind you.

I'm interested.
Also, here is a link to some cute, cheap bags:
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5039516

I am definitely interested! I love your patterns. Test knitting one would be a joy!

For bags, I'm a fan of Seabreeze Studio:

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6678

and

http://www.seabreezestudio.co.uk/catalog-custom.html

Her bags aren't too cheap, but they're well-made and durable.

i'm interested if you still need the help. looks like a lot of people have volunteered. the knitting community is a very strong and supportive one!

I've always loved that Plath poem. Thanks for the reminder. :)

i'm willing and able to test-knit. I'm in the US, if that makes a difference. Glad to here you're unbowed! :)

If you still need people, I'm definitely interested. F.Y.I. I live in Canada, not sure if that matters to you. You can check out my blog www.coco-knits.blogspot.com to see some of my knitting. Good luck with your projects (both book and little loaf)

I'm interested! I've done some test knitting before so I know what's involved and I've knit a few of your patterns before so I'm comfortable with your style.

Thanks for considering me.

definitely interested, also from the US if that presents a problem, but i would love the opportunity to lend you a hand getting your book out, we're all anxious to see it! =]

i am interested! would love to test knit!!!

I'd love to do a test knit. Count me in.

Hi Anna,

I'm going to add my name to the list of people interested in test knitting for you. I'm a pretty fast knitter-- I've knit a few samples for my LYS and a child's dress for Interweave Knits.

I'm interested.

I can test sock patterns with some speed and authority, and if you're looking for someone who is a bit new to sweaters/jumpers - well, I've knit Twist and I'm midway up the front of Jemima, so I'm not completely idiotic about them, but I also am not at the point where I assume a lot. I am probably not as fast as some of the other ladies with them, though.

Wraps and shawls are the bane of my dyslexic existence, but I could be persuaded to knit a simple one.

:o)

Me!

I won't even accept money, I just want a book with your signature (I'll buy it anyway). Meeee!!!

sounds like you have plenty of interested parties... however, if you are in need of one more - i would love to find out more info!

I'm interested!!!
Love to be a part of this!

Holy cow, Anna, the whole Internet is interested in helping you. Including me!

Well, sounds like you've got enough people, but just in case, I'd be interested, too. I've a fair bit of experience knitting sweaters and I am in France.

I'm interested Anna! Just say the word.

Dear Anna

I am interested. I live in Cambridge but am in London often. Happy to knit anything large or small but not socks!

i'm interested. i can take down a small knitting or sewing project. i'd love to help!

I'm interested in being a test-knitter!

Wow! Leave it to knitters to jump right in.
It looks like you have more than enough volunteers, but I'm happy to add my "me too!" to the list.
Good luck & best wishes!

Yet another interested party.

Ooooooooh! Me me me me me!!!!!!

I'm interested I'm interested I'm interested!

(plus this way I could also knit a baby knit & send it your way, which I know everyone else has been likewise dying to do since they read your good news way back when!!!!!)

:)

I'm interested!!!

Re bags: if an open top is okay, there are lots of shops that sell great shopping totes - I love my green Daunt bag (£5, but I got mine for free, presumably because I bought such a large mountain o' books!) and have used it for knitting.

I love so many of your designs; it would be a privilege to help out with test knitting. So please add me to the long list of names who are interested in helping out. I also have a bun in the oven so that might affect finishing on time depending on the deadline you're looking at.

I'm game for test knitting a mystery project, a surrogate knitter if you will.

Yay for knitters! I'll add my name to the roll up the sleeves and knit list. I live in the US, but will have the luxury of a month off coming up in September, so I've got plenty of time to devote to your wonderful work. Hope the little loaf is rising steadily!

I knew you would have a ton of people wanting to be a test knitter, but I thought I would throw my hat into the arena anyway. I would love to be a test knitter. I don't care about being paid; I just really enjoy doing things like this. I teach knitting classes every other week, but other than that, I'm home working on my own projects. I've been knitting and crocheting for 47 years (I'm 49 - my grandmother taught me all kinds of things as early as possible so I would be a "proper" lady. I have also test knitted before and really enjoyed the experience.

I hope you'll consider me. Please e-mail me so we can talk.

Thank you in advance for your time,

Pam

Hi - I am still reading! I would be interested in test knitting.

I'm interested! I do test knitting for my local yarn shop.

I would love to test knit too, if you need any more in the future!

I never finish anything, so I'm not a prospect. However, tote bags? How many are you looking for and is there any way we can make arrangements for shipping from the US to the UK? My boss has over 2000 tote bags, 14 inches tall by 17 inches wide and 7 inches deep. They are canvas bags lined in plastic with a short handle. They have vintage Indian advertising on them; some with sequin trim (they are pretty hip looking, if I say so myself). I use mine for storing stash, carrying a load of laundry, even toting my jet printer and laptop--tough little totes! And $3 each. If you are interested (in 1 or a 1000), I will send you images. Any idea when the book will be ready? I can't wait!

Grr to people who let you down!
I'd test knit a smaller project if you still need anyone, plus I'm in London if that helps. As for totes, well you probably don't read http://www.scarygoround.com/ but check out his "Crochet Today" tote anyway! http://www.scarygoround.com/shop.php

Oooh, I just read Dava's comment above - I'd be interested in one of those totes too!

I am very willing to offer honey if you need help :) just yell!

as for bags, I have recently bought a few from an american lady on etsy, she has taken less than a week to ship each time, shes a star she really is and the bags are great!

shes here:

piddleee.etsy.com

or here

store.piddleloop.com

just speak to Jen there and say cairi or cazza269 sent you ;)

I would be interested, though you may well be inundated with volunteers. If you are, please enjoy the compliments that degree of enthusiasm carries with it, and I'll carry on with what I'm doing. (My at home is your Elfine Socks, where I'm happy to report I'm following instructions to the letter, except for that spot where I went on autopilot with the toe.

i'm sorry to hear that you've been let down! :( just keep on going and everything should work out.

and yes, i would love to help you out! :)

I would love to be a test knitter as well. Looks like you've got tons of offers, but just in case you need one more :P.

Count me in! Sounds like a blast!

Alas, I am too late to the game. But still happy to say "hello" to you. No need to reply; you are too busy.

You seem to have a mile-long list already, but should you need yet one more name...I would be interested!

well, me too...although I'm (so far) at the end of a very long list...good luck!

I would happily test knit for you if you still need someone but I see that you already have plenty of talented offers.

My personal favorite bags for knitting projects come from a place called Camp Hill Village. I'm in the US, but I mention it because I know that the Camp Hill movement started in England and there are many more communities there than here.

My bags are made of study, beautiful hand-woven fabrics with a draw-string rope made of the same threads. The residents at the Camp Hill community in New York have a weavery, wood shop and bio-dynamic farm and they sell many of their works to help support their community which centers around supporting the lives of mentally disabled adults.

I'm certain that at least the English community at St. Albans has a weavery as well as a woodshop, but what I'm not at all certain of is where St Albans actually is. There are many other Camp Hill communities in England though so maybe there is one near you with a weavery. It's perhaps a bit overkill for simple knitting bags but the karma is excellent and they are beautiful.

Like the 83 other folks who've already commented, I'd love to test knit for you. :)

I'll help too, *of course*! I'm not sure what type of bag you're looking for but I like the ones from LL Bean, they last forever. . .

Greetings from Taiwan!

I'm interested in test-knitting for you and I'm confident about meeting the deadline! :)

So, if you need anyone else: Try me! I am interested and I love your patterns.

So nice to see all of the eager feedback you received! I hope you have a long list of test knitters for your current and future projects. :)

I'd be interested, I do knitting for Colinette and have recently been a knitting angel for Erssie for her book.
I bet you didn't think you would have so many offers ?
I could also knock you up a tote bag on the sewing machine....

Hello Anna,
obviously I'd be interested, too.

You have a ton of people volunteering but here's my hat being thrown in the ring as well. :) If anything to show you what a great "fanbase" you have for a bit of encouragement through these busy times!

hello anna,

i would love to do some test knitting for your new patterns! let me know if you need some more help. my experience level, i would say is intermediate. i knit in the continental style and i'm pretty fast. right now i'm living in spain, but i'm moving back to the u.s. in two weeks.

re: the bags, there is a knitting store here in spain that gives out cotton totes with yarn purchases for storing your projects. i looked at the tag of one and believe they are purchased here http://www.mcollection.es/en/index.html.

i hope that helps!

So many volunteers! If you want, add me to the list of test knitters, perhaps you are interested to see, if also a foreigner can follow the patterns....

Greetings from Germany
Andrea

I am most definitely interested!

Hugs from Hamburg,

Viv

I would very much enjoy being a test knitter if given the opportunity.

TA!

Tara

Hi Anna,
too busy with many projects to help with the knitting, but just starting my own little handbag business after having had so many enquiries about the bags I make for myself. Knitting bags are definetely on the agenda, with a twist. Happy to discuss this with you, should you be interested.
I am based in South London.
Kind regards
Martina

I'm interested. . .

I'm interested, love to help.

I'd be very happy to knit for you, if you ever get this far down on your list of volunteers. Experienced, even knitter.

Not sure what happened. I tried leaving you a comment yesterday afternoon about being interested as one of your test knitter but it never got posted. You probably don't need anymore, but if you are still in need. Let me know.

As far as tote bags, I really like mine, which is from www.designhergal.com which is just a big canvas bag but you get to put a design on it. Mine has a girl who resembles me with my blog name on it. You can see mine here:

http://calgalatrpi.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-am-alive.html

i dont have the time to knit my own projects at the moment, but just wanted to say good luck on this endeavor! no need to respond to this, take care.

I've been knitting for ...um....a long time (decades...) and would be happy to test knit. I used to knit for a shop selling hand-knit sweaters...if experience counts. If you still need someonefor this or a later endeavour.

Stay well.

Having no illusions about the state of my own schedule I cannot, in good conscience, offer my services. However, I do offer my best wishes on both of your current projects and I hope they both go off without the slightest hitch.

anna I would heed any call to need that you have my dear.

I will be happy to test knit for you.

I'm interested.

I'm a stay home mom near Seattle, WA. I've been knitting 10 years. I teach a few classes at Let It Rain Yarn (www.letitrain.com). I'm pregnant with my second child (35 weeks now), so as long as the deadline isn't Oct 9th I can do it. I'd consider myself an intermediate knitter, someone who's tried a number of techniques (cables, lace, design, etc) but still has new things to learn. Probably your perfect audience!

I'd be interested in test-knitting and think I'd be a good choice, too, if I do say so myself: I'm probably your "average" potential consumer--not a beginner, but no supergenius knitting prodigy, either. And I already love your designs. : )

I'm interested.
I consider myself intermediate. I've progressed from afghans/hat/scarves which i've done for a couple of years to socks and knitted garments in the last couple of months. (wooohoo!).
-m

Hi Anna,

I'm interested in supporting you as a test knitter and I'm in London if that helps.

Hope you're keeping well,

Kirsty

I would love to help you, you are a great designer!
So i'm interseted, but maybe i come too late...
Anyways if you need me, leave me a message.

I know that Purl Bee sell fabric. http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/fabric

hello, i'm interested, too.

considering how much i loved cherry, i would knit anything for you! I know you got a ton so no worries but I'd be here for you if you needed me!!!

I am interested and would love to help.

I'm interested as well! I live in the US. I hope that's not a problem.

Hello,
I am interested in test knitting. Please contact me at your earliest convenience should you require my services.
Cheers.

I really like my silkscreen apron from maryink on etsy, she has great ss totes:
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=55338§ion_id=5027842

For smaller projects (think, socks) I am a HUGE fan of the zippered boxbags from http://JapaneseHandmadeEtc.etsy.com as well.

Would you email me your mailing address? I'd love to knit a pair of Saartje's booties but didn't have a baby needing feeties (til now!) :)

Goodness! At this stage an offer of help may be too late, but you're more than welcome to get in touch if you need a test knitter at a later date. I've knit both jemima and cherry, so I'm familiar with your patterns. Best of luck to you!

I am interested. Happy to help :-)

I could make you some linen totes with one of my prints ... you could borrow them for photo shoots? I don't know how much they would cost ... but I could sell them later on. Is that what you need them for - the photos? It would be fun to be involved. I'm based in London.

Very late in on this one, but nevertheless if you're short a knitter at any point, count me in. I'm in Scotland so there wouldn't be a huge delay in carriage time to get the project to and fro - although with the British postal service, you never quite know, do you? Anyhow, I'm sure you're covered with excellent knitters already but I just wanted to show a bit of support.

I'm sure you've got more than enough volunteers, but I'm interested if you need another. :)

I'd love to test-knit, but I live in South Africa........ probably not convinient.

In case you are still in need, I am interested as well!

I make and sell toile de jou totes
http://fablehandknit.com/shop/toile_bag.htm

Or if you can get a hold of that darn Anya Hindmarch bag, the I"m Not a Plastic Bag bag, that is a fabulous option!

Remembering how it was when Punk Knits came out, count me in!!! I was the main test knitter for that so I know about those ugly deadlines.

Let me know and GOOD LUCK!!!!!

YES,I'm interested.
I live in southampton (I hope this is considered local),and did some knitting for Fiona Morris, designer (uk knitting magazine) and teacher (www.distanceknitting.com).
I think I will enjoy knitting for you as I like your sense of style.
Regards
Ilana

I know you have half a million offers at this point-- but I'm interested as well. I've always loved your patterns.

I'm interested as well! I know there are too many people, but I would be happy to work on projects in the future as well if you don't need me this time around!

I know you're all set, but I'd like to be added to the list of potential future test knitters. :)

I wish I had time (and speed) to help. I will gladly make baby bootees though! Thank you for the poems. I hope you are well, Anna. I sat big exams during my recent pregnancy and know how tough it is to push yourself as hard as you must be doing.

Waay late, but I am a sample knitter and would like to offer my services. References available upon request. :) You know, if you still need anyone after all of the other people offering help. - Amy

I'd be up for some test-knitting! Your patterns look delightful.

http://www.dollarshirts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=391

http://www.dollarshirts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=43&Page=1

Inexpensive tote bags abound... I think they ship to Britain.
Was feeling sad that I don't have time to test knit, but look at all the bounty of helpers!

Good luck with all your endeavors, baby, knitting and all else...

I bought my knitting tote from cafe express with a lovely knitting logo on it. Best way to find it is through www.knitty.com and go after knittingshopping on the left menu. It was cheap and will fit all size projects!

I'm so sorry you were badly let-down but I think the response above is enough to make you keep your chin up!
I'd offered to help but I think you could do without my slow knitting skills(unless it's gloves or a hat - something small) and I'm rather over-committed as it is!
Good luck with the book and your loaf, looking forward to seeing both.

Interested!

Hi Anna,
You emailed me through my website, couldn't find an email for you here or through your comments...I fixed my email here, sorry for the confusion. Hope to hear from you again.
Megan
PS. I love the 'little loaf' reference!

Wow, you sure have many by now. But if you still need an extra pair of hands, I'd love to do some test knitting!

If you haven't filled all your positions, I'd be interested. I've got lots of experience and am a very speedy knitter.

I just want to send some good wishes... I always enjoy reading your blog. For an inexpensive knitting tote: what about fabric carry-alls from the grocery? My grocery sells them for on $2US. Not very fashionable... but reasonable and can also be used for grocery shopping.

I'd be interested, even though you already have more than you need. I've knitted one of your patterns and loved it. If you happen to need someone in the future, let me know.

If you're still looking for folk, I'm interested! (Experienced knitter, near Inverness.)

I would be interested!

I'm interested. I'm also an award winning pie maker! First place for my Banoffee.

I'm interested!

I'm interested! I'm a pretty quick knitter and would love to test my skills on your pattern(s); I'll even do finishing if you'd like. Know you've got way too many, but tuck me in for another time if need be.

Hi Anna,

yes I am interested too !! I love to knit with your patterns, so I would like to hear from you, Karin

I can see that I am awfully late on this bandwagon but I would be happy to knit. I could happily run you up some simple totes but lack good local fabric sources, if you wanted to choose some fabric and send it I could make them to your size specifications, no payment necessary but a signed book would be heavenly.

I would be glad to help you at any time, with any sized project. At this hormonal stage of your life (and all the ones that follow) try to remember that the situation always _feels_ worse than it really is. You have so many supporters who would feel privileged to carry some part of your committments. I am one, knitter for 20 years, prolific and a perfectionist to a middling degree. Please contact me for any test knitting you ever need, starting now.

I'm interested. I have knit quite a few of your patterns and would love to help

Hi! I love reading your blog and I also love your patterns. I have a question concerning the purchase of some of your patterns.

I could not find your email address (maybe I didn't look hard enough) but if you could be kind enough to get back to me so I can ask you a couple questions, that would be lovely!

Thank you very much and keep on knitting, writing and doing whatever you do!

I know I found this late in the game, but if for any reason you're still looking for test-knitters, I would love to help out. I was a sample knitter for my LYS, until I moved about a year and a half ago -- I miss it terribly. And I admire your work quite a bit.

Funny - we called Z our "meatloaf" when he was still incubating. :-)

Would love to test knit if you ever need more help.

I'd love to test knit if you are looking for someone in Canada. I'm quite experienced and will knit anything from socks to shawls and adult sweaters.

If you still need people I'm interested. I'm quite experienced and have good finishing techniques. Also have mathematically inclined mind. Let me know

Still need someone test-knitting?
I am interested, too ;)
LG Eva (Germany)

You've probably had a million responses, but re: the knitting bags. Canvas totes from ebay are a cheap buy, and customisable (when you have a little more time) -

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-Eco-Friendly-Unbleached-Canvas-Shopper-Tote-Bag_W0QQitemZ320152648127QQihZ011QQcategoryZ63852QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Late to the party, but I am interested as well. I have test knit before, more inclined to knit sweaters and at fine gauges should you be looking for that.

Sorry to hear that you have been let down. Best wishes.

Anna,
I see I'm quite late to the party, but I'll let you know regardless that I'd love to do a test knit for you. Your patterns are a delight and just the inspiration for an energized forge back into knitting after 2+ months down and out of commission with Pertussis. And it was a UK doctor's website that convinced my doctor to test me for this! Get re-vaccinated all!

Hello,
I've met you before, I'm a London knitter (used to be based out in Acton so I came to the Ealing S&Bs before I moved). I'd be happy to test knit things for you - have done a bit of it before. I'm happy with most knitting techniques and pretty quick. get in touch if you still need help.

Best wishes,
Kat

I'm interested if you still need a test knitter! I just moved to London last Sunday for a little less than 4 months (study abroad). Are there any yarn stores you recommend? I'm going to try and get to Ally Pally, but I don't know any good knitting stores!
Thanks, and happy knitting!

Hi

First off, congratulations on your 'little loaf!'

I'd really like to do some test knitting for you, it's not something I've done before. I would say I'm an intermediate: I try with each project to learn at least one new technique, it's one of my favourite things about knitting.

Not sure what else to say except I'm conscientious and would be willing to give your pattern(s) as much time as they need, oh and yes, I love knitting...

Congrats on the wee one! I'd love to help out test knitting, but it seems I'm a bit late. None the less, if you need another pair of hands, feel free to ask!

Your latest sweater design is lovely. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I love reading your blog and seeing what beautiful and creative designs you come up with!

Amelia, although I am far in the list, I, too, am interested. I have been knitting for 50 years ( count them-50!) I consider my self at least experienced in all forms of knitting and an expert in some. If you cannot use me in this instance, perhaps you can use me in the future. Regardless, good luck to you in this endeavor......

I think I said this before, but congrats on your pregnancy! Your Marla photos (with just the wee bit of baby bump) are charming.

If you still need a test knitter, I'm interested.

Hi, I would love to do test knitting for you. I haven't done any test knitting before, but I am an experienced and quite fast knitter.

I'm very interested too. I see you have lots of interest and am very happy for you to keep hold of my details for future projects if you would like to. I am not going to be working for the foreseeable future so I have a great deal of knitting time, in fact, it is one of the few things I can still do! you can email me (Helen Rice) on rovingriceyATyahooDOTcoDOTuk good luck with all your projects knitting ones and life ones!

If it is not too late, I'm interested too (been away!) I've loads of experience and am in the UK.

Should you need test knitters in the future, please feel free to contact me. I live here in the UK and am a homemaker with no children, so I have plenty of time. Cheers!
