Mastered! 2015

So, here’s celebrating learning to:

• make simple knit and crochet borders
• create simple modular patterns

• try colour work in simple stripes and chevrons
• knit in the round
• complete simple shaping and finishing
• develop and document my own designs.

I’ll try to post more techniques and patterns this year. Here’s to stepping up to experienced level!
