Rastita Design Challenge Part 3: Call for test knitters

Hi all! Just a quick reminder that my new blog is over at http://starielknits.com - you should go there to read all blog posts from now on, or subscribe to that RSS feed. But since this post is important and I don't want you to miss it, I'm posting it here as well.

Cory's call for test knitters here.

I mentioned in my previous Design Challenge post that test knitters are a really important part of getting a clear and correct pattern. Well, it's about that time!

I'm looking for a few test knitters for my as-yet-unnamed cowl. In fact, if you have any ideas for a name I'd love suggestions for that too.

Skills needed:

It's a relatively simple project, but you will need to know how to knit, purl, increase & decrease, and pick up stitches, as well as working with two colors of yarn.

Supplies needed:

size US 7 needles, or size needed to obtain gauge
buttons (3-5 depending on button size)
two colors of DK weight yarn (I used Malabrigo Rastita)

As far as yarn amount goes, if you don't mind a short cowl then 50g of each would probably be sufficient. I had 100g of each and was able to make a fairly long cowl with a bit of yarn left over.

Deadline:

I'll send the pattern to all test knitters by Friday 11/15, the test knit needs to be finished by Sunday 12/15.

In return, you'll get a copy of the final eBook with both my pattern and Cory's Folded Lotus pattern.

I don't have any awesome modeled pictures of my cowl yet, but you can get a pretty good idea from the sneak peeks in the previous posts. I'll try to update this post with a better picture soon.
