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

Master Knitter Monday: Issue #2
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
Master Knitter Monday: Issue #1
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
I Passed Level I!!!
I got my Master Knitter binder back a few day ago - and I passed!! (I needed to re-submit the pattern for swatch 15, but I was able to do that via email.) I'm just floored that I didn't need to re-do any of my swatches. I was convinced that a few of them were… Continue reading I Passed Level I!!!
It’s in the mail!!!
Well, WIPs Wrestlemania got me motivated to finally finish my Master Knitter Level I notebook! I mailed it out this last week. Now it's simply anxiously waiting for 4 to 8 weeks for the results!(All 16 Swatches)(Project: Striped Hat)(That's one thick notebook!)I'm so very happy that I finally finished it. I learned an enormous amount… Continue reading It’s in the mail!!!
Ravelympics Progress, among other things.
So the Ravelympics is well under way (and those other Olympics too). I've crossed the finish line with one of my projects, but I won't put a pic here because they are a Christmas gift (even though I'm pretty sure the intended recipient doesn't read my blog, but you never know!) And I'm about 3/4… Continue reading Ravelympics Progress, among other things.
WIPs
OK, so there's a little local craft show that I'm going to participate in around the end of May, so I've been knitting like crazy to make stuff for that. I've never had this many things on the needles at once! I've got felted bags going, Yoga socks, baby hats, and who knows what else!… Continue reading WIPs

Pigeon Forge and other ramblings
We got back from our Thanksgiving trip yesterday. We had a wonderful time! It rained on Thanksgiving day, but we had our meal at the cabin, so it was alright - it was actually nice not having to go out to a restaurant for the meal. On our way out of town yesterday we stopped… Continue reading Pigeon Forge and other ramblings
Broken Toe
Big clutz that I am, I stubbed my toe on the door frame Saturday night, and of course, I broke it. It's really amazing that I've never broken a toe before now, with the amount of toe-stubbing that goes on with me. Here's a (blurry) pic of the purple and blue mess:I have it "buddy… Continue reading Broken Toe
