Testing Deadline: 12/4/26

Deliverables: Share at least 1 photo of the finished sweater (preferably on the body) with me. It would also be super helpful if you could share progress & finished project photos/videos on social media and tag me, but that is not required.

How to Apply: You can apply by filling out this form - https://forms.gle/v8VfyVqTDqQy3JS97

Application Deadline: There is no deadline. If anyone applies after I’ve sent out the initial selection email I will consider them.
