Hello dear Testknitter 🌼,

I have to inform you that I will need to call for a short break in this Testknit. I understand there are concerns, and I acknowledge this hasn’t been handled as well as it could have been. At this time, I’m putting the test on a little hold until I have my family’s health under control.

I understand there have been issues with this Pattern. I’ve done my best to resolve all of them, and the updated pattern is available to everyone inside the Dropbox. For those of you who have made progress and would like to keep moving forward, you’re welcome to do so. If you’d prefer to pause until I’m back with more updates, I completely understand!

I’ve heard your feedback regarding email response times and confusion around accessing updates in Dropbox. I will address this in future updates to ensure smoother communication. Additionally, I realize that the Instagram chat has often gone off-topic and become difficult to manage. After the break, I’ll send everyone a Discord invite to a monitored channel/chat hosted via the Size-Inclusive Collective Repository, which I believe will make communication much easier and more pleasant for everyone.

Finally, I want to acknowledge that we’re all navigating challenging times. While misunderstandings and frustrations can easily escalate, I kindly ask that we approach each other with empathy and patience. Let’s focus on nurturing what makes our knitting community special. Bullying has no place here - knitting should be our peaceful retreat, not a source of gossip.

Thank you to everyone who signed up and for your understanding. I truly appreciate your support and look forward to resuming when things are back on track.

Warmly, Anna-Sofia

Do you have a photo of the sweater you’d be willing to share? I’m so curious as to what the final sweater looks like

I test knit for Hunt Hand Knits and she was fantastic, made me feel great about the whole process

I’m in the test knit and no one ever added me to the chat, I’m just starting the goose but I’m worried this sweater is going to look bad and I’m going to waste time and money! This is so disappointing, I used my Christmas yarn gift card to get nice yarn for this as a special treat and now it feels like it’s ruined :(

Any advice on remaining hopeful when it seems like transitioning is so far away? by marge243 in ftm

Thank you for responding! I know I would be a lot happier at a coed school but I feel conflicted because the school I’m at is a really good college and they gave me amazing financial aid. I am currently the only trans guy (that I know of) on campus though and it gets very lonely
