I also should mention that I've started the Knitting Guild of America's master knitting program--level 1. I'm not going to post a picture of every swatch, but I will keep track of my progress here. I'm part of the TKGA knit along hosted by Sarah

I hadn't joined the guild until I decided I wanted to be a part of the knit along. Being a self-taught knitter, this experience should really help be improve my knitting and give me more confidence about my knitting skills.
