[ullenastar13]

http://photos1.blogger.com/img/115/3159/320/closedshunky.jpg i need 2 more people to test my bag pattern. I'd like the testing to be done by Oct 15th so please only sign up if you're willing to meet that deadline! it's felted so you'd need 100% worsted weight wool that is not super wash. intermediate level so be ready for a challenge! i'm going to try and insert a photo but if it doesn't work here's a post on my blog about the bag and with pix. http://starknits.blogspot.com/2005/08/im-deflectin-your-rejectin.html#comments

I am interested, but what type of challenges? I wouldn't want to get it started and then disappoint.

I too am interested but is that crochet??? I love the pattern but am afraid also I may not be up to the challenge? Is it very hard or just a bit hard to do? I also knit but am not sure I could knit that. If it is intermediate I can do it no problem.

I am also interested and signed up at group with also a question about yarn-

the pattern is crochet!
it' crochet'd in the round and uses fpdc and bpdc increasing and decreasing. i said intermediate b/c it may be a bit more difficult than your typical just starting out project.
the yarn needed is 100% ww wool 5 skeins (50 g, 109 y or 100m) that is NOT superwash.
the pattern is felting so we are crocheting it big then shrinking it in the wash.
i hope that does it.. LMK if you have anymore ?'s just ask here or PM me! thanks again:manyheart

I would love to be a tester but I would have to do it in about 2 weeks. I just have to finish up a few things first. It may be sooner but I figure in 2 weeks I should be done w/all my wips and a few swap items. If thats ok then count me in! It looks wonderful..By the way what do you mean not superwash??? I dont think I ever heard of that.

i'm hoping to have the test be done by Oct 15th so if you think you can swing it please do join!
superwash is a treatment done to wool yarn so that you can wash it in the washing machine and it won't shrink. but for felting it's bad b/c we want the item to shrink!
thanks!
