This weekend I finished the poncho I decided to make last week. I knew my gauge was off, but the thing ended up being much much longer than necessary. I’m not too worried about it, because I have a six-foot mom who likes ponchos.
\nI'm wearing the largest poncho, ever<\/p>\n

This poncho, and the slightly too-large needles I used for it are the reasons I went crazy and purchased the Denise Interchangeable Needle kit. It came in the mail this weekend while I was in Iowa. It’s so pretty. I pet it last night before I went to bed. I’ll soon have the first level’s worth of work to do for the master knitter program, and I will be SET.

Also this weekend my dad helped me make a niddy noddy. They can look much more fancy schmancy than this, but all I really needed was a rudimentary tool for my pursuits. Dad seemed to be impressed that I could chopsaw my way through a 2×4 and leave the marking line.

I think I’m going to take a break from knitting for a couple of weeks, until my masterer kit arrives. (For some reason, I feel this sounds kind of like the real estate tapes referred to in Garden State<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

My plan for THIS week is to ravage the local thrift stores for sweaters that have nicey yarn I can reclaim<\/a>, especially since I’ll be needing nice yarn to make all these swatches for the mastery.<\/p>\n
