Stitches & Loaves by Ciara

Excited to be testing this pattern!

Today’s the day! Calling all testers📣

The first project using Rebecca’s new stitch (still to be named - more to come on that later) is a pumpkin🎃. With fall just around the corner, there’s no better place to start!

Testers will be required to work up the pattern in two different sizes (preferably with chunky yarn, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand). Testers should work through the pattern focusing on ease of reading it, grammatical errors, correct stitch count, or anything else they might catch. Also to be recorded is yarn and hook size used, yardage used, and approximate size of the panel before sewing and stuffing.
Sizes to choose from are:
Mini
Small
Medium
Large
This pattern works up relatively quickly, around 3 hours for the largest size.

Deadline: Monday 8/31

Happy Tuesday! Thank you to everyone who shared words and support of our showing at the county fair last week! I wanted to share that out of 7 bakery and crochet entries we received 6 blue ribbon ratings! Additionally I received a best in section purple ribbon for Harold the highland cow. My lovely other half also won two blue ribbons for his vegetable entries! It was a great year and we can't wait to see what next year brings. 🥇

PS what do we think - Do I take the leap and enter the highland cow into the state fair's county fair winners class? Let me know below! 🐮
