Sea Oats Serenade Test Knitter Appreciation ....part one

I got really lucky with my Sea Oats Serenade test knit! I was overwhelmed by the response of people who wanted to test knit for me. I had to shut it down in less than 24 hours and decided on 12 test knitters and decided to run it like a mini-KAL to get some experience, since I planned on having my first one within a month or so.

I was amazed at the variety of yarns people chose and how each one suited the pattern differently. I have to thank Heather Folkner of Crafty Ferret Tech Editing, for the bang-up job she did of checking my pattern and making sure it was ready for the test knitters. If you are in need of tech editing services, you can find her at her website.

I am showing off a few progress photos of the test knitter versions below.  As soon I have my final photo shoot with my model, I can finish the final layout and release the pattern. These photos will give you a feel for how versatile this pattern is and if you would like to see more you can check out my Instagram feed here, where I have been shamelessly praising and showing off test knitter accomplishments  I am only including a smattering here, but want to thank all my testers and I plan on featuring more when I have more photos of blocked or modeled cowl

This is from @spunbyrj! I really like her mini photo shoot!
