Master Knitter Theme Song

Probably dating myself with a MST3K reference in the title, but that’s okay. Mystery Science Theater was great, and I have no shame. Shame is overrated.

Here it is: one of the big things I’ve been planning to start: the TKGA Master Knitting program.

Now, this might be me adding pressure to my hobby for no reason and losing some of the purpose of relaxing instead of working all the time, but also, as a #1 Learner (Gallup CliftonStrengths testing, which I very much recommend to anyone interested in knowing what their strengths are and how to better use them) I also know that I work best when I’m learning new things. And the Masters program is just that: it’s not so much a pressure as a way to learn more about the hobby in what looks like a logical way, building one skill on the next. Since my knitting is largely self-taught, I know full well I’m still lacking in some areas—for instance, I just taught myself mattress stitch last week. For someone who’s (poorly) seamed a lot of sweaters in her life, that’s a little sad.

So the plan is to become a Master Knitter, and maybe, if y’all are interested, to take you along for the ride. Now, to ask Mr. Burns to print off a whole lot of informational materials . . .
