The Tester Appreciation System

Test knitters are the people who make my patterns better, so I wanted a proper way to say thank you. This is how the tester appreciation system works. You do not need a Ravelry account to take part.

What you get

  • Every tester may earn up to four 50% discount coupons.
  • Every Instagram post about your test knit earns 5%.
  • Posts are grouped into coupons, with a maximum of 10 posts per coupon.
Posts Coupons
5 posts one 25% coupon
10 posts one 50% coupon
15 posts one 50% coupon and one 25% coupon
20 posts two 50% coupons
and so on, up to 40 posts four 50% coupons

What a post needs

To count, a post needs to include all of these:

  • a photo of the design you are working on
  • a link back to me: tag @artesanitarium
  • both hashtags: #fromtheartesanitarium and the pattern's own hashtag, which you can find at the end of each pattern

Tags and hashtags are how I keep count of your posts, so please do not skip them. Your Instagram account also needs to be public, otherwise I cannot see the posts.

The small print

  • You need to complete the test within the timeline given for that test knit.
  • Coupons are delivered to you within two weeks after you finish the test.
  • Coupons are valid for one year and can be given away as a gift.

Want to test knit?

I announce test knits in my newsletter and on Instagram. Applications usually go through a short form, and testers get the pattern and all of its future updates for free.

Happy knitting!
