That means - if everything goes as usual - I will be calling for test knitters in the beginning of February. And it has a name: Chainmail Slipover - as it reminds me of a little piece of armor shielding me from the cold this suggestion by the lovely Whitney of @knittedbywhitney is just perfect! #chainmailSlipover I am so excited for the test and I can't wait to get the pattern out to you! Please share this post with everyone who might be interested in testing the slipover, so that they can clear their needles in time.
