Test Knitter Needed

Hey guys, I am looking for a test knitter. I am working on a pattern that will be availible for free, it’s for a 15″ Bamboletta Doll but anyone can knit it and I think it would fit more then 1 type of doll. It takes about as much sock yarn as 1 sock would take and knits up about as fast as a stockinette sock (3 or 4 nights easy). Please email me pixieATpixiepurlsDOMcom if you are interested or reply here. I need someone who can knit it up in the next 2 weeks, take a photo of the FO (on a doll or not, doesn’t matter) and let me know if the pattern is off/weird/confusing. I’m mostly worried about my math etc.

Have I shown you guys pics of the decorating progress? The room is still not done but after we get carpet installed tommorow I should be able to set it up so it’s nearly complete.

Almost done with #2's room!

It would be nice if the bed wasn’t on the floor but I think it’s just safer this way in case I need to co-sleep like I did in the beggning last time. So on the floor it goes, and once the baby is 6 months old OUT it comes from the room (the bedding sadly will go into the closet for a year or so but will come back out eventually!). This bedroom is a tad smaller then BG’s which has made it a little more difficult to arrange things. There was only 2 long walls to choose from for the crib and bed, and we wanted the crib AWAY frmo BG’s room, so here the bed is against the wall that is connected to her room. The tree dacal is up! Total pain too, but it wound up looking wonderful. Sweet little Etsy handmade felt bird up on the little shelf.

I’ll have pics of the other side of the room once we get the new carpet down and have things arranged the way I want. Do you notice the little bird on the end of the curtain rod? SO cute! I had so much fun decorating. I still want to tweak things a bit but that will come with time. Everyone always asks so here is the rundown from this photo:

Brooke Bedding from Pottery Barn Kids

Target “Shabby Chic” furniture (cheap and cute!)

Land of Nod Curtain Rod (bird on each end)

Land of Nod green stackable small suitecases (so cute)

    What a cute room! I just love that tree and can’t wait to see more!
    I wish I had time to be a test knitter for you maybe when winter comes again.

    The room is adorable. I know I’m late to the party, but congrats on the impending #2. I haven’t read a blog in almost a year, so I have lots of catching up to do :)
    If you still need test knitters, let me know. I have nothing but time on my hands right now.

    I love hoe you’ve decorated the room, so pretty even if the tree was a pain! I would love to be a test knitter for you, I have an American Girl doll from my childhood that I think would work well as a model. Let me know if you still need knitters and away I’ll knit :)

What a weird and wild month it has been. BG has been great with all the transitions/changes. We moved her into a toddler bed about 2 weeks ago hoping to forgo having to buy another crib. We had very low expectations and the attitude was “If it doesn’t work we just buy another crib” mainly because I [...]
