Being a frequent ravelry user I found Kimberly Gintar (The Giving Flower) sometime in April... and since she was still looking for testknitters, I volunteered.
So on May, the 9th I got a much anticipated email with the pattern attached. I had already chosen a yarn from my stash - merino with rayon - in a nice bronze hue. I got started right away.
It is a Faroer shawl - my first one - and I really loved knitting it, the pattern has just the right amount of interesting features to keep me fascinated without being  difficult.
The pattern called for 1200 m of yarn, I only used 700 m, which seemed odd to me, but is probably due to the fact that I used a sightly thicker knitting-needle? I tend to knit very tight, thus I always have to use a knitting-needle one size larger than is called for.
The Pattern will be released on June, the 1st.
