Seeking pattern testers!


Attention fellow hookers! I am currently seeking a few individuals who are interested in re-testing a pattern for me. The pattern calls for about 1.5 skeins of Loops and Threads Charisma (or similar) and a 6mm crochet hook. If you have these supplies readily available, can work under a deadline and are able to photograph and send in a picture of your finished work + notes, please send me your e-mail address and why you feel you should be picked to become a pattern tester for Crabapple Crochet! 

PS. If you have purchased this pattern in the past, you will automatically receive a new copy if any corrections are made. :)



Thanks everyone!

Summer's coming and lots of opportunity is rising!

It's an exciting time for me; the past few days have seemed like miracles. After months and months of job searching, I've finally landed myself a job with a home care agency close to my home. I got a call Monday morning from their main office, was asked to go to my local office during the week, and I did. On Tuesday morning I signed a bunch of 'employee' forms and got my first case within a few hours. Although, that first one was canceled this afternoon. :( Oh well. I ended up grabbing some 'fill-in' hours this weekend, so it's a start. 

Anyway, enough about me.

Last week I tested SoulCandy Crochet's newest pattern for the XL Tote. It worked up wonderfully, and not to mention, the bag is HUGE! It is most definitely, the best summer/beach bag in the world. I know I will be using mine quite often. ;)




Also, I will be needing pattern testers of my own fairly soon! With inspiration from SoulCandy, I came up with a bag of my own... It reminds me of something I owned when I was a kid. I'll post more about that later, though. If you would like more info on becoming a Crabapple Crochet pattern tester, please leave a comment explaining why you think you qualify and leave your contact info below. I will send out a mass e-mail later on when the pattern is ready to be tested. 

It's a rainy, rainy day, and it's time to get movin'!
