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

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
