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
Anxiously Awaiting
...my Master Knitter Level 2 submission results! Â It's been about 3 weeks now, so I have about 3 to 5 weeks wait left. Â I've been trying to keep my mind off of it as best as I can.

Â And I didn't notice it until a day or two ago. Â HOW did I not see that?? Â Anyhow - that will… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday, and WiPs.

Masters Monday – Lots of swatches!!
I've had Level 2 instructions in my hands since 2009. Â And now 2012 is almost over. Â That's pitiful!! Â Well, since I've dawdled a bit too long, of course a new version of the instructions came out about a week ago. Â More than just a few typos were fixed in this revision! Â The biggest change is… Continue reading Masters Monday – Lots of swatches!!
