On My Way to the Masters

One of my goals for this year was to get my Master of Hand Knitting Level 1 certificate, and since it's July, it was about time to start. Last Thursday, I dove right in and have been frantically knitting, researching, and writing. So far, I've done 8 of 17 swatches and a whole bunch of writing. I still have lots of knitting and writing to do. The amount of research and theoretical knowledge they require for the submission is sort of overwhelming!

This does mean my Whispers got slightly de-prioritized, but I'm still on track to finish it this week. The front shoulders are done and I've started the back shoulders. I suspect the top may end up a little shorter than ideal, but that's what layering is for, right?

Looks like the frantic pace will continue right through the end of the year! I have some exciting events coming up, which I will tell you about soon.

PS - If you've done the Masters Program, I would love to hear your thoughts. What did you think of the process? Any tips?
