Calling all test knitters! I have a sleeveless top test knit that starts today. It knits up FAST as it’s a DK gauge. I’m looking for some testknitters to use 2 fingering weight yarns held double and some to use 1 strand of DK that gets gauge. I will be starting up a few testknits soon, all for sleeveless tops. Visit https://www.yarnpond.com/pattern_tests/2615 to learn more and sign up to test knit.
If you’re interested in future test knits please join my test knitter mailing list at http://www.windsweptknits.com/testknitters/ - if on this list you will only get emails related to test knitting, nothing else. I’ll be having 3 or 4 test knits starting up in the next few months with yarn ranging from fingering to DK and I’d love to have you join.

Wearables
I have been wearing so much knitting and crochet recently. I forgot to include this segment last week so I’ll cover the last 2-3 weeks here.
the Priestess Coat stitched Rhinebeck– by Morale Fiber in Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball. I’m using the Feng Shui colorway, a grey-to white gradient, for the body of the coat and a variety of jewel tones for the inserts and hood.
Tuesday was quite warm and I wore my Southwoods top (Ravelry) by River Road Knits, I love this top so much. The lace inset at the back is just gorgeous.
We’ve also had colder days and I’ve work the Line Where the Sky Meets the Sea (Ravelry) and Send Me That Horizon (Ravelry) shawls.
I wore the Wenlock sweater (Ravelry) designed by Tin Can Knits which I knit last year in some ancient stash, the discontinued Feza Yarns Cayenne and a variety of scraps for the multi-colored collar.
