It took a bit longer than I was hoping to get Mayu fully formatted and everything, but Mayu is now ready and out! Mayu has been fully tech edited, but I'd love a couple people testing it out for sizing purposes. I'd love for people to be able to see what the different sizes fit like in different eases. For that reason, I'm going to offer it out for free to testers for a limited amount of time. You do have to contact me on Ravelry (rav id: norichan) in order to qualify, and you have to be able to fit into my criteria for normal testing (it's not too difficult, but I do have a few qualifications). :o)
Here are the pattern reqs:

Bust Circumference: 36 (39.75, 43.25, 47)” 91.5 (101, 110, 119.5) cm

As far as testing reqs go, you do need to be a member of Ravelry, have some projects on Ravelry with pictures, and be able to finish your project by the end of February. I do ask for you to link your project to the Mayu project page, and post pictures of you (or whomever you prefer) modeling the sweater. I would love it if you are able to say what your ease is, so that people have a good idea about how they might like to size their own Mayu! I can't wait to see yours! :oD Please head here to sign up to test!
