Good morning! I came back from the TKGA conference very inspired. Hard to believe it was two weeks ago. Before I went, I thought I was just cruising through level three Masters work. After Masters Day, I knew better.
When the committee members pulled out portable Ott lights and went stitch by stitch on the swatches, I knew I was not close to done. I spent this weekend frantically re-knitting swatches. Some because I chose the wrong yarn - I went bigger out of concern for their eyes. Not to worry, they have magnifying glasses. Some I just plain screwed up.
Some they might have accepted but now I know they are not my best work. Wow, they have really warped my personality! But I am so sorry they had to look at my level two argyle sock, I want my level three submission to be much better. Suffice to say, I am not a sock knitter.
Tonight I'll sort out how many more I have left to do. It is at least two more. In the meantime, my aran sweater sleeve has only grown by a 16 row repeat, so not much to show on that.
Thanks to all of you who leave comments. I really appreciate them and am so grateful that you are interested enough to stop by.
Check out the works in progress over at Tami's and I hope you have a lot of time for yarn today!
Your swatches are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean, they went stitch by stitch ? What are they looking for ?
ReplyDeleteYour posts simultaneously make me interested in the master program and terrified of trying it. :) It's nice to see that you aren't taking things too personally and that you are using this experience as encouragement to becoming a better knitter instead of quitting!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so impressed that you are going through the masters program. Good luck!
