We're looking for Test Knitters!

WHAT IS TESTING KNITTING?

Through test knitting, also known as pattern testing, knitters review and knit a pattern before it is published in order to find any errors, areas of confusion, or possible improvements. This feedback from test knitters helps us guarantee that our patterns are clear, exact, and simple to comprehend for knitters of all abilities.

WHY TEST KNIT FOR PROJECT WEEKEND?

  • Gain knitting experience with help and support from the designer.  
  • Receive a free copy of a new release pattern.
  • You get to keep your knit (unlike sample sewers who must send the knits back to us).
  • We offer yarn support when you use Project Weekend yarns. *Terms apply.
  • You get to select the yarn colour and size you want to knit.
  • If willing, you will be featured on the Project Weekend Instagram page so our community can get to know/follow you.

BEING A TEST KNITTER IS FOR YOU, IF YOU...

  • Love to knit with accuracy.
  • Can follow knitting instructions without variation.
  • Have a strong attention to detail.
  • Committed to meeting deadlines.
  • Have strong communication skills (through word, picture/photos, drawing).

SELECTION PROCESS

Here at our knitting studio, we work hard to match projects with the right test knitters! We consider every detail from your skill level and project experience, to garment size preferences; even how rapidly you can return feedback. All knitting skill levels are needed!  


TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF:

PROJECT WEEKEND DOES NOT COVER THE COST OF YARN NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE TEST KNITS.

  • **Qualification Criteria:** To qualify for the yarn support refund, you must: - Complete the test knit using Project Weekend yarn. - Submit the pattern feedback before the specified deadline.
  • **Refund Calculation:** - If you choose to acquire your yarn through the purchase of Project Weekend Yarn Bundles, which come with pre-existing discounted prices, your refund will represent the variance of up to the total project yarn support discount relevant to the specific test knit project for which you utilized the yarn bundle. - Kindly note that the cost of shipping is not encompassed within the refund.
  • **Deadline Adherence:** It is crucial to adhere to the specified deadline for submitting your pattern feedback to be eligible for the yarn support refund.
