I thought I was done with assigned pooling for a while, but during my Starfall KAL with Yarn Snob Keith I fell in love with a colorway used by one of the participants.
The colorway is Bellina, named after one of dyer Keith’s orchids. When I saw it, I had to have it. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.
When I asked Ann Berg to test knit Prosecco Pop in a smooth yarn, she used a pooling yarn instead of a slubby one. I loved the idea, but I wanted more pooling, and fewer eyelets. It took a few tries to figure out the proportions, and I even changed my mind after my sample was finished, but here’s the basic idea.
I was going to use a different assigned pooling stitch, but these star flowers are so perfect here. This was knit with one skein of fingering weight yarn, dyed for assigned pooling.
The pattern has been tech edited, and now I’m looking for a few test knitters. Is that you? Let me know!
Edit: Test knit is full, thank you!

yes! How do I apply to test this?
Hi, Michele! I’d be happy to test knit. I have some lovely long blocks of time in my day between clients and I need an office knitting project. I would need guidance in choosing a yarn, though, as in what brand/dyer, etc.
Take care!

Yayyy! I did a full-on Kermit flail this morning. I also immediately bought some of Keith’s yarns. 🖤 Black orchid completely called to me.
While I don’t have the time available to test knit, I do want that yarn!! Source?
It’s from Knits All Done/Yarn Snob, fingering weight in the Bellina colorway: https://www.knitsalldone.com/online-store/Keiths-Orchid-Yarn-Colors-c96028272
Check out the Black Orchid color, too…swoon!
Crikey ! – you are constantly upping your game, Michele ! :)
I have yarn for this type of project and would love to knit it! Depending on your timeline I might be able to test knit. I am pretty busy until mid-May.
I’ll send you the ema
OMG I love this and want to test!

Hi Michelle, would love to test knit this depending on time line. I have a yarn that I am using for another project , but not liking it’s outcome… so will be ripping it out.
Thank you for considering? Brenda
Hi Brenda: This test knit round is full, but thank you for checking!
That’s lovely, Michele!
