As a crochet pattern designer,
Pattern Testing is very important.
Pattern Testing is very important.
I want to start off with saying,
"I am very thankful for those who have,
who are, and will test my crochet patterns.
I can not do, what I do, without you.
You are a vital part of my designing process."
But what is expected from a
crochet pattern tester?
crochet pattern tester?
Well, let me back up a little and explain
my designing process,
before it ever reaches the testers.
First, I have an idea in my head.
Then, I usually make a sketch.
I then, have to decide what size,
yarns, Hook and stitches I want to use.
I decided on Red and Grey,
I Love This Yarn! Worsted weight
and G - Hook
Now I am ready to
begin the designing process.
begin the designing process.
After several tests and
much frogging, usually.
The photographs are made and edited.
Then the writing begins.
Sometimes, I write as I go.
Sometimes, I write as I go.
(If you would like the Paw Patrol Badge
Crochet pattern,
It will be in tomorrow's Blog)
Next, the typing, editing,
re-writing, re-editing--
Sometimes, a headache
and several cups of coffee.
Now I have a un-tested,
finished Crochet pattern.
finished Crochet pattern.
All this takes place BEFORE
the Crochet pattern testing begins.
I have a few Pattern Testers
I always use,
I also like to ask for a few more testers.
Fresh eyes are always great!
Ok, back to the question,
"What is expected from a
crochet pattern tester?"
It's really quite simple.

When
testing for me I only have a few things
I am asking of you:
I am asking of you:
1.
Please Read through the pattern completely
before starting the pattern.
Use the same yarn and hook I have used in
the pattern,
and work the pattern to the finish (unless you get stuck).
2. Please check for spelling errors.
The
computer doesn't always catch them.
3.
Please make a note of any part that you do
not understand and mistakes. and
email those to me.
3.
Also, I am asking for a picture, on your dog
of the finished item. It does not
need to be a
professional picture, just
one you took.
You
can email it to me or I prefer you to post
them on the group page so others can
see your work.
Thank-you,
All my patterns are written by humans,
tested by humans and edited by humans….
having said that….because of the human element they
may contain errors.
Please, please, please contact me with any questions,
comments or errors.
I will be so happy to help..
and even retest a pattern if needed.
