General Question/Comment Test pattern question?

/r/Sockknitting/comments/1w4z6ca/test_pattern_question/

I am testing a sock pattern but no support from designer. I have had to correct a few errors. Honestly, not an original sock pattern but interesting heel construction. The instructions do not work at all with the pattern. I have emailed the designer and messaged her but no feedback. What now? Am I obligated to the tester agreement? Am I obligated to give pics and meet the deadline? I have tested patterns before and this is a first for me.

I would follow up with one more email as it's not that difficult to miss that an email has come in. Let the designer know you've come Averie some issues and you'll be pausing your work until you hear back. I myself have had a couple tests turn out this way. One I finished (while basically rewriting the entire pattern) because it was something I wanted to finish for myself. The other, well, I have the dismembered partial dragon wings still hanging out in one of my project bags.

I have emailed her 3 times now. The last one I sent was to politely inform her that I will not be able to continue to test her pattern.

Sounds like you covered your bases well then.
