Where did Swatchy Go?

 It's been a year since my last blog post. A lot has happened.

Good news, first - I passed the TKGA Master Knitter program. I will not say with flying colors, but passing is passing so I now can claim to be a Master Knitter.

Second, I did meet my personal goal of 2021 to get two patterns published. One was a hat for Cast On Magazine and the other was a toddler top published by I Like Knitting, and online magazine. 

Both were star stitch. I was going to start a new star stitch project and my hands went BLEAH. I was done with my new favorite stitch after blathering on about how great it was. 

Other stuff happened as well and now I live in a new place. So there was a lot of packing, painting, house hunting, house marketing, loan qualifying, and form signing. We are mostly settled, just waiting to have some flooring finished. That is the not so good news - for too many reasons the crew hired to paint and install flooring are late. Very late. The guy said it would take three weeks and we are now well past the three month point. Thus, all crafting materials remain in the cardboard boxes they were placed in last October. 

I finished some stuff and started some other stuff. Here are some photos.

I've got a new project brewing, but more on that later.
