Master Knitter Level 1 Submission Critique

I got my submission back!

No drumroll required – I didn’t pass outright. Most people don’t, so I’m not going to spend time moping about that. Most of my swatches passed, with the exception of the moss stitch (too holey), the lifted increase, the SSK, the YO SSK, and one of the cables. They weren’t thrilled with my blocking, but hey, neither was I.

I have to resubmit most of the questions – apparently I totally failed to answer some of the questions correctly. This is the part I stink at. I’ve never been good at writing succinct answers.

As for my blocking report, I seem to have used absolutely incorrect information. Yeah. Totally wrong. Cotton gets stronger when wet, I’ve learned, not weaker, as the resource I used says.

So mostly I need to get better at researching stupid nuance-y bits of information that I have a much more innate ability to understand but cannot put into words.

Generally, though, I’m pleased that I am on my way to being a Master knitter, and happy at how much I’ve learned thus far.
