Very helpful! I finally convinced myself to start writing out a few patterns I’ve invented and posted, yet never tried to actually write. After many people asking me for the patterns and me not having them, I had to suck it up and start doing it! Lol. Thank you for all your helpful tips and suggestions!

Super informative. Testing isn't something I've done, but think I'd like to try someday. Just not sure my personality makes for a good tester, though I am pretty sure being exact is something we can all aim for. Think it might be a fun challenge!

Thanks for posting this. I applied two weeks ago and have been checking my email for an update ever since 🙈 I think it would be helpful to post/email to let everyone know the decision was made just in case they haven't seen this.

Oh you look so pretty with your hair up (not that you don’t usually). I would love to be a tester. It’s the closest I could get to having my own YouTube channel! My question is (probably not a common question). I have severe arthritis and have difficulty crocheting with weights 3

Do you also get the appropriate yarn to test the pattern?

When you talk to your potential testers, do you disclose the importance of their Instagram account and subsequent posting? It seems a bit disingenuous to place such a high priority on what is essentially free marketing when that's not the purpose of their work.
