[Het volgende bericht is alleen in het Engels, omdat ik mijn patronen altijd in het Engels test]

Hi crochet friend! How are you? I hope the new year has been kind to you. I am working on this years crochet projects and I am searching for new pattern testers to add to my existing list. The last time I did a test call was 5 years ago, so if you ever wanted to become a pattern tester, now is the time to apply! This call is for testers of all skill and experience levels, so don’t hesitate to apply.
The only things that are really important to me is discretion (not sharing any of the behind the scenes untill the reveal) and being thorough and communicative.

Info around testing A Spoonful of Yarn patterns

I always give enough time to organize yarn and do the test. The pattern is finalized as much as possible before going out to test, including tutorial pictures and charts if needed. Testing is done in US English terms unless stated otherwise.
In turn for testing, you get the final PDF for free plus any of my other self-published patterns.
Sometimes I am able to provide yarn up front.

Follow the following instructions to apply

Fill out the test appliction form and send it in an email to aspoonfulofyarn@hotmail.com, using ‘Test Application’ as a headline.

Deadline for latest application is Jan 19 2025.

When you are approved, you will get a confirmation email next Monday (Jan 20). I will use your email adress on the general test list. This means that you will get an email whenever I have a new project that needs testing. The next test is expected to take place in Feb/March 2025.
