Charty

Finally, the Ironwork Socks charts are done! I’ve had my nose to the computer for the past week, finishing up the font and ironing out these charts. What a frustrating process.

Anyone want to test knit? There are three sizes, so it’s suitable for a range of foot sizes and yarn weights. I’m especially looking for anyone willing to knit the smallest size (over 64 sts) and the largest (80 sts). The pattern is mostly charted, with written instructions for the heel and toe action. If you’re interested, comment here or drop me an email at kelpknits at gmail dot com.

ETA: Ok, I think I’m set! I’ll get back to everyone tomorrow. Yay for the people in the internets!

    I’m usually a lurker here, but if you’re still in need of a test knitter, I’d love to help out. This pattern is gorgeous and I’ve been looking forward to the release.

    of course, I’m right in the middle at 68 sts! :) Those charts are amazing – I can only imagine how much work they were!

    What kind of time frame are you thinking about for the test knitting? I may be very interested . . .

    I have lurked here since I first saw those beautiful socks! I would be willing to test knit in any size you need, if you still need someone. If not, get fast test knitters, so I can acquire the pattern quicker ;)

    I just sent you an email about test knitting, but I thought I should leave a comment here in case I messed up the email part! I just love how you did the heel on those socks.

    Am I too late? I want help with the test knitting! I could do little (moms has tiny feet) or big (I has big feet).

    Hey Kelly, I wouldn’t mind. I have nothing to knit now. Then I can show them to you at stitch and bitch!!

    Hi! Delurking to say that I’d love to test knit – the larger sizes would be best :). Let me know if you need me, or not. Thank you!

    Wow, it appears that legions of test knitters were simply waiting for your call to action! I am most impressed.

  13. Julia - September 13th, 2007 @5:15 pm

    How exciting! These socks are so beautiful.

  14. Zabrina - September 13th, 2007 @5:42 pm

    I’d love to test knit the smallest size for you! These socks are gorgeous. Also, I’m really jealous of your charting skills. Great job!

    Yo!!!! You know how wee my socks usually are so I’d be happy to test out the small size for you. I normally knit my socks on 64 stitches anyway. Besides, this would give me an excuse to order some STR in a shaded-solid color.

  16. Amy - September 13th, 2007 @7:14 pm

    It seems like you have plenty of test knitters, but if you need one more, let me know. :)

  17. Ashley - September 13th, 2007 @7:19 pm

    …..so, you’re good then?

  18. trillian42 - September 13th, 2007 @8:35 pm

    Well, it looks like you’ve got plenty of test knitters, so I’ll just say that I’m very much looking forward to the pattern coming out!

  19. Cheryl - September 13th, 2007 @8:48 pm

    If you need any more test knitters let me know. Congrats on finishing the charts – hooray!

  20. Libby - September 13th, 2007 @10:15 pm

    OO, exciting. I added you to my bloglines when i saw those socks so i’m glad to see the pattern getting close. of course, i have been very glad to have added you, being a fan of kittens, pretty sweaters, and funny sewn rabbits with big feet!

  21. Pikku-Kettu - September 14th, 2007 @12:04 am

  22. Sea Anemone - September 14th, 2007 @12:37 am

  23. Lin - September 14th, 2007 @1:18 am

    Wow, that is clever stuff. I wouldn’t have a clue how to do those charts!

  24. amberpixie - September 14th, 2007 @10:57 am

    i love these socks! they are so cool and i love the heel most of all. it must have taken you awhile to plan it all out. i know you’ve already got a million folks for the smallest size, but i would also be willing to do it. of course, i could do any of the others as needed, too. just let me know! well done again!

  25. pamela wynne - September 15th, 2007 @9:20 pm

    Alas, I’m too late! But I’ll be first in line when you release the real thing. :)

  26. Kathy - September 16th, 2007 @6:34 pm

    I would love to test knit the large size if you still need anyone. The pattern is simply beautiful….
