I feel like I should have a list like this, but I don't. I hope you accomplish everything you want to do.
I am full of admiration for you.
Are you doing TKGA's master knitting program ? (I don't know of any other)
Thank you for inspiring me to start a list again.... Nell
Yes, it's the TKGA master knitter program. I actually started back in Norfolk, but my samples really weren't up to par back then. I am having a lot of trouble with the ribbed square, I have probably done it 20 times now and I still don't feel it is up to their standards. I think one of my New Year's resolutions will be to finish a square a month so that I can move on to the second level before the end of the year. The program really is a test of patience.
