I’ve got my tea cosy pattern finished and I have tested both sizes myself. However, I sure would love two of you to test it for me and give me input. It’s different than a lot of my other patterns.

All I can pay is enough ColorSport yarn for a pair of sox for you, and a LynnH pattern of your choice (in addition to a final/finished copy of the cosy pattern when it’s complete). I know this work is worth more than I can pay right now, but somehow I’ve really lucked out and had good helpers even at this wage.

The good news is it’s not a big project and won’t take a lot of knitting time. I’d guess it would take 2 days of leisurely knitting, if that. Of course, please only volunteer if you can fit it into your schedule right away. I need you to hop right on it, so jump on board if you’re not busy in the next 3-4 days. It is a fun change of pace if you are getting bored with that afghan or sweater right now!

Why the rush? Rob at Threadbear is one of the folks waiting for me to release the final product, and it is good for me to keep dear Rob happy! (Love ya, Rob.)

I need folks who knit with an eye toward the writing. People who will not assume what comes next but actually do exactly what I said to do, and then tell me if what I said was not clear enough. I do need you to knit to gauge, which could perhaps require some swatching. It calls for Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted (less than one 4oz skein). A suitable substitute would be Cascade Pastaza yarn. They are both heavy-worsted-weight single-ply yarns that are at least 50% wool (all animal fiber).

You can keep the item you knit, but I need a digital photograph of your cosy on a teapot, and the measurements of the teapot. Takers?
