Meet Laura, Knitting Pattern Tester!

If you like to knit or crochet, you’ll enjoy meeting Laura Shtaida, pattern tester! Pattern designers have several steps to their process before releasing patterns for knitters or crocheters. Laura helps the designers by testing their patterns before they are released by providing feedback and recommendations. By participating in test knits, Laura has virtually met a lot of interesting people from around the world and learned a lot of new knitting skills.

Laura will share how she finds patterns to test, details about the process of testing, and some of her finished objects.

If you would like to participate via Zoom please email Jane at jhenze [at] deforestlibrary.org.
