I have three more swatches to show you today!! I'm on a roll, I tell you! Swatch #1 (tubular cast on and tubular bind off with stockinette in between) - I'm not sure I'm happy with the cast on (or the ribbing!) in this one, so I'm planning  on doing it over. Swatches 2-5 need… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday

FO Friday
I have a few things to show you today! Firstly, I'm blocking three of my Master Knitter level 3 swatches today: I'm feeling under the weather, so most of yesterday and probably most of today will be spent on the couch - knitting of course. Â So I'm making very good progress on my swatches! Next,… Continue reading FO Friday

I have lots in progress this week! First, I got my shipment of fleece back from the processor -(Fleury Sheep and Wool - they are AWESOME!

Masters Monday
Guess what I got in the mailbox last week?  That's right - my Master Knitter notebook!!!  Yay!!  I let out a squeal when I saw it on my porch Wednesday afternoon. 🙂 Overall I did very well, but I do have some resubmits to do in order to pass. I've already started on the resubmits,… Continue reading Masters Monday
WiP Wednesday
I'm still waiting on the mailman to bring me my Master Knitter Level 2 binder. Â It's been over 7 weeks since I mailed it in, now. Â I'm holding out hope that it's a good thing it's taking so long - maybe that means I'll have less re-work to do? Â That's what I'm telling myself anyway.… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

I've been knitting like the wind on my Celestarium this week. Â I'm at the last increase row between the E charts and the F charts! Yay!? Just 55 rows with 576 stitches each left! Â (Plus the edging.) o.O The yarn has been leaving blue dye on my hands like crazy. Â I really hope it doesn't… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
WiPs, a FO, and an Interview!
So, I've been killing time as best I can while waiting for my Master Knitter Level 2 binder to come back to me. Â The waiting is the hardest part, I think! Â What will I have to re-do? Is my vest up to snuff? Did my sock pass? ... and so on and so forth. BUT,… Continue reading WiPs, a FO, and an Interview!
