On My Way…

There is reason for great celebration. Well at least there was last night because I completed my first swatch for the Master’s program. Hoorah (let there be great fanfare and much rejoicing)! I still need to block it, but first I want to read up on how to properly do that thing you do with the last stitch because I swear I have been doing it wrong. If anyone has any insight I am ready and willing to soak up knowledge. For my proof I give you two pictures. Enjoy!

Top down shot - I am hoping those couple teeny tiny holes disappear with blocking or I may need to do the swatch over…

…to the Masters

Tonight I finally had a chance to sit down and really read the instructions for the Masters Program. (I may have suffered extreme peer pressure to get my post up and to get it moving.) Now that I have started my first swatch I am glad that I am getting started quickly because it feels like I am going to need all the time I can get. I present to you Seed Stitch Swatch - Take #1:

I am definitely going to have rip this and try again. Perhasp decreasing needle sizes as well. So much to learn! :)
