I only have one swatch to show you today: This is swatch #9 - short rows with a kitchener seam.  I used the Japanese method of short rows for this one (for swatch #8 I used my usual wrap and turn method).  It's a bit more fiddly, but makes for a neater stockinette side when you're done, I… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday #15

I started on swatch # 7, but it's still not done, so I don't really have anything to show you.  But it's being worked on, I promise!  I should have at least the one swatch to show you next week, but I'm going to shoot for two (or more!) swatches. Registration for the Fall TKGA conference… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday #14

Look at that - my 13th 'official' Master Knitter post is falling on the 13th of the month! 🙂 I don't really have anything to show you, but I do have something to share with you.  The TKGA conferences are coming up - the Summer one is in July in Minneapolis, MN and the Fall one… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday #13

I don't have anything new to show you this week on the Master Knitter front - my vest hasn't been touched in a week or two, and neither have my swatches!  But, I thought I'd go over some of the reference books that have come in handy for me while working through the Master Knitter program.… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday #12

Over on the Charlotte Knitting Guild site, I've started a monthly column entitled 'Almost Master Knitter Musings'.  I'll be posting about my Master Knitter experience, as well as sharing tips and techniques that I'm learning (or have learned) while working through the program. Go check my posts out if you'd like!  (And if you're in or near Charlotte, then… Continue reading ‘Almost’ Master Knitter Musings

I almost forgot it was already Monday!  Boy, the weekends have been just flying by for me here lately! I haven't worked on any swatches lately, but I have been working on the Master Knitter vest on and off. Actually, now that I've pulled it out to take a picture of it I've not gotten as much… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday #11

I'm slowly but surely plugging away at the back of my vest: I'm done with the ribbing and started on the stockinette portion.  I'm hoping the ribbing blocks out a bit - right now it looks a little wobbly to me. That's all I have to show you today!  Now that I'm on the stockinette… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #10

I know it's Tuesday.  I just didn't think Master Knitter Tuesday sounded very good.  Besides, this is just a continuation of yesterday's post.  🙂 I knitted my swatch and blocked it yesterday.  Yes, I even block my swatches when necessary.  I avoid swatching (and blocking swatches, for that matter) as much as possible, but sometimes it can't be avoided.  This… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #9 – Part Deux
