I have no more swatches to show you this week.  I really need to get on the ball and work up some more of them! But, I'm going ahead and starting my vest project.  I've been in the mood to start a new project and haven't yet, so why not go ahead and start on… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #9

Didn't get much done this last week by way of the MK swatches.  I just seamed the one that was waiting to be seamed. Here's Swatch #6 seamed: It's a horizontal to vertical seam - common in shoulders of sweaters and such. So, that's it for this week - let's hope I can get a… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #8

I've got a couple swatches to show you today! Here's Swatch #4 - 1x1 ribbing seamed.  And here's Swatch #5 - 2x2 ribbing seamed. I have Swatch #6 knit and blocked, but not seamed yet - it's a horizontal to vertical seamed edge.  I should have that to show you next week.  Plus hopefully some… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #7

I've been so swamped lately that I've had no time to work on my Master Knitter swatches. But I was able to start on swatch #4 yesterday, and I finished it this morning and it's blocking today. It's the seamed 1x1 rib swatch. Not seamed yet, as you can see. Things should be slowing down for… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #6

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Sometimes blocking can help even your knitting out.  And sometimes if one blocking doesn't do the trick, two blockings will.  To try to save myself from knitting swatch #2 again, I blocked it a second time.  It looks a bit better now: And here it is seamed: It only appears as… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #5

I have two 'almost' swatches to show you today. 'Almost' because the swatches are knit up, but they're not seamed yet. Here's my new Swatch #2 - a reverse Stockinette swatch.  The rowing out is better, I think, although the camera is picking some up that I can't really see in person.  Weird.  I think it will… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #4

Well, I don't have much to show you this Monday.  I did knit up swatch #2, but for some reason my tension is a bit wonky: Can you see the 'rowing out' I'm getting in a few places?  (Uneven spaces in between the rows?)  I'm going to re-knit these this week.  It's amazing the amount… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #3

Yeah, so I didn't like that swatch from last week and I went ahead and re-did it.  This is something like attempt #6 on this one swatch.  The first swatch.  Ugh. But, now I remember what I learned in going through Level 1 (why do I not write these things down?  Or take so long in between… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #2

One of my resolutions for 2011 is to try to finish my Level 2 Master Knitter submission.  I passed Level 1 in September of 2009, and ordered my Level 2 instructions right away.  I started on my research for the report as soon as I got my instructions.  I started on a couple of the swatches… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #1
