Rubblework Scarf

Nov 12th, 2007 by Kathy

The pattern’s done! It’s $5 and available as a downloadable PDF.

The downloadable part of that statement appears to be working. If you’ve implemented that functionality on your website you’ll be familiar with my reserved confidence. Let’s just hope I didn’t break too many other things along the way.

I had five awesome testers:

Once again, these gals sent the pattern over the top. They all did the job in the 24 hour turn around, absolutely amazing. They’re collectively responsible for inspiring Sewing School. A section at the end of the pattern that includes tips and tricks for beginning sewers and open minded old dogs.

My biggest thrill was seeing the images of everyone’s scarf. All different, all fabulous, all made in a couple of hours. Experienced sewers and new. Thank you all! I’m genuinely touched by the generosity and professionalism of bloggy friends that agree to test my patterns. You’re truly a special group of women.

I’m glad to have the pattern out in time for gift making. Time for me to get back to mine…

How wonderful to see you wearing the scarf! I had so much fun testing the pattern and making the scarf, it was a wonderful distraction between all my other projects and work. Thanks again!

So cool! I just spent the entire day trying to come up with a scarf design. I should just have waited for you.

This is giving me the best idea for a gift for my sister. I think I should just give you access to my paypal account…

Oh my, I didn’t even think to send you a picture! I already gave it away but maybe I can still hunt it down- the recipient LOVED it! And I loved mixing in some of my silks I have been hoarding, but I had wanted to follow your instructions to the letter and it turned out great! Thanks for letting me participate!

What a wonderful scarf! As soon as I finish writing this comment, I’ll be downloading it. The hard part will be figuring out which materials in my stash to use! Of course, it’s a tempting excuse to go find some new gorgeous silks or linens or brocades or…I could go on…

[...] Last week (my days are running together so I don’t rightly remember) I volunteered to test a pattern for Kathy at Pink Chalk Studio. When she asked for testers, it was just for a quick project with supplies you should have on hand. [...]
