First Post

This is my first blog, ever! So I'm a little late to the game, but I'm a VERY enthusiastic knitter. I knit a LOT and I also think about knitting a great deal. I hope this blog can become interactive and that we can exchange tips, tricks, techniques and inspiration - yes, even frustration!

My current project is creating my samples for the Master Knitters Program of The Knitting Guild Association. I'm on my second swatch and I'm getting VERY self critical. How perfect does my gauge have to be? Does my knitting have to be so even it looks machine made? I must admit, I like a little hint that knitting has actually been done by hand. I will photograph and post my first attempts sometime this weekend.

Thanks for reading!
