Pattern Tests and Sample Making bring me such joy! I love being a part of the design process and getting to work closely with designers to bring their vision to life.
Shearwater Wrap
My first pattern test for Wool & Pine Designs - and I hope not the last! This was a great opportunity to experiment with textured yarn and lace. It’s a very versatile accessory for all-season wear.
Bette Bed Jacket
Another vintage inspired beauty from Disco Stitch - I got to learn a new skill for this pattern test! I’d never set in a sleeve before but it was worth it for this gorgeous little jacket.
Fifi Feather Robe
I could not resist such a cozy robe from one of my favorite designers - Disco Stitch. I took this test in a retro direction to show the versatility of the pattern. Self Care Sundays will never be the same!
Selkie Tank
Another test for Dragon Hoard Design, I just can’t get enough of their patterns! The perfect summer staple but with the addition of buttons. This is the perfect tank for those warm weather days!
Botanical Tee
This pattern test was a great opportunity to work with an often overlooked color way from my collection - Slime! It was perfect to showcase this beautiful lace detailing from designer Knitatude. I wear this tank A LOT!
Ocean Pathways Pullover
Testing the Ocean Pathways Pullover for Aroha knits was a fantastic experience! I loved the color work section and the ability to customize the rest of the sweater to my preferences.
Summer Court Tank
Another fantastic opportunity to work with Dragon Hoard Designs! I loved participating in this pattern test and it’s a perfect garment for this weather. This tank has multiple options such as beads, straps, and neckline!
Autumn Court Sweater
I loved making the Half Moon Tee sample so much I decided to test knit for Dragon Hoard Designs! This circular yoke sweater has quickly become a wardrobe staple for me.
The Half Moon Tee
Sample for the designer and yarn dyer, Dragon Hoard yarn. It was a treat to work with Dragon Hoard Yarn, as always!
The Gemini Moon Crop
This pattern test was a blast and Holly let me modify the pattern to suit my tastes. The pattern is available on Ravelry, and the yarn is available in my shop!
The Aquamarlite Sweater
I tested the Aquamarlite Sweater for Park Williams. It was great fun and I love the finished sweater! The yarn is Oink Pigments Oink DK.
Paradigm Shift Hat
I created this sample for Leading Men Fiber Arts. The yarn is their Showstopper base and the colorways are Glowstick and Fortune Teller.

I tested the Love Witch Sweater with the large bell sleeve option for Disco Stitch. The yarn is from Apple Fiber Studio.
