A Call for Test Knitters!

The Fireside Pullover is complete! But I need YOUR help! I would like to enlist the help of 5 of you lovelies to each test knit one of the sizes for this fun sweater. 

The Fireside Pullover is fairly simple and straight forward in it's construction. There's no shaping through the body, basic tapered sleeve decreases and a straight funnel neck. The fun comes in with the great stitch pattern. But since it's broken up with a substantial amount of stockinette stitch, the sweater works up really quickly! 

I designed this sweater to be the 'go to' sweater for the winter wardrobe. SO comfortable to wear, lovely softness and warmth from the wool yarn, and a classic shape that will work for weekend, workday, daytime, nighttime, anytime!

I need testers for sizes XS, S, M, L, XL finished bust size for these are: 32", 36", 40", 44" and 48".  I am wearing it in the photos with 3" of positive ease. 

Here are the particulars for the test:
*Please be an experienced knitter. No beginners.
*Skills needed: working in the round from the top down. Working with double pointed needles for the arms. 
*Test knit to be completed with finished photos and a Ravelry project page done by Jan. 15, 2016
*You may use ANY sport weight yarn you would like to work with. However, please choose a smooth yarn to showcase the stitch pattern.
*Needles needed: US size 3 dpn, and circulars in 16" and 24" lengths. US size 5 dpn, and circulars in 16" and 24" lengths. (or sizes needed to obtain gauge)
*If you would like to sign up to test knit, please email me at anaiddesigns@gmail.com I would love for you to include your Ravelry username if possible so I can check out your past work! ;) 
*Once chosen to be a test knitter, I will send you the pattern to your email.
*When the test knit is finished, photos taken, and project page posted on Ravelry, I will send you a code for another free Anaid Pattern. 
*If you do not complete the test knit by Jan. 15, 2016 there will be no code sent to you. Nor will you be allowed to test knit for Anaid in the future.

I am opening this test knit to my subscribers first... but if I don't have the test knit full by Friday, Dec. 4, 2015 then I will open it up to Ravelry users. If you'd like to get it in on this... don't wait! :) I am hoping to build a great group of test knitters from within my own following. I appreciate you subscribing to my site and want to give back to you all as much as possible! 

To sign up for the test knit or to ask me ANY questions - feel free to email me at anaiddesigns@gmail.com. Or you can always post in the comments below if you have general questions.
