Capelet Pattern Test Knit | Black Squirrel Designs

We are looking for local knitters who want to participate in an in-person test knit for the unnamed capelet shown below by Maia Discoe. It can be made with or without the ruffle. The sample is made with a fingering weight yarn held with a lace weight mohair yarn, but it could also be made with a DK weight yarn.

Modifications are welcome and some will be suggested: with or without the ruffle, with or without the button placket at the collar. Maybe you'll have a cool mod to add to the mix? Maybe you have a brilliant name suggestion?

Location: Black Squirrel Yarns
                651 Addison St, Berkeley

Time: To be determined. There is a poll in the Google Form. Possible Times are:
Fridays 6-8pm starting September 25th
Saturdays 6-8pm starting September 26th
Sundays 6-8m starting September 20th
We will pick one of these days based on what works best for the majority of people. Maia will be the host and be there to answer your questions, help the test knitters, and make one for herself. This is a bit of a tight timeline as the pattern will launch on November 7th during our 10th Anniversary Celebration.
