7. Have you ever “free-handed” a crochet project?
Testers are selected based on experience. You don’t need to have a ton of experience. I
sometimes need a “Newbie” with little experience for certain projects. As a tester, you
are expected to provide your own supplies for the project. The item is yours to keep upon
completion. The pattern draft is sole property of A. Friend Shawls, you may not
share the draft pattern, recreate any or part of the pattern instructions, or re-distribute the
pattern. Once the draft is complete if you would like a complimentary copy of the pattern
one will be emailed to you. As a tester you are required to be timely in your completion
of the project. (most projects on average will take 4-10hrs to complete.) Completion is
expected within 2 days unless otherwise noted. You will be instructed as to timeframe
before starting the project, that way you can decline if the timing is not appropriate for
you. Testers are required to bring any ambiguity, typos, etc to my attention immediately
so they can be corrected. Suggestions are ALWAYS welcome. These guidelines are
subject to change.
