When you've finished writing your knitting pattern, you've only finished the first step of the process. Often the following steps, where your pattern is reviewed and edited, take even longer. If you're familiar with the design process, you're likely familiar with the term "test knitting," but what what does it mean and where do you even start with running a test knit?
A couple of episodes ago, we talked all about tech editing, so I start this episode with a breakdown of the differences between tech editing and test knitting (and why both are important!). Then I share what a test knitter does, what they're looking for in your pattern, how to find test knitters, where to host a test knit, how to run a test knit, what to expect in the test knitting process, and more. This is your complete guide to navigating test knitting as a knit or crochet pattern designer!
