Welcome

Welcome to the home of my 2014 knitting project.  On January 1, 2014, I am going to embark upon a journey to improve my knitting skills.  How am I going to do this?  Well, it's simple.  I heard about the book titled, Knitting Masterclass written by the editors of  The Knitter magazine published in the UK.

There are 20 workshops and 15 projects included in the book.  I plan to work my way through the book starting with the first chapter and going through to the last one taking one project on at a time.  My goal is to learn new skills and techniques as well as to improve upon the knitting skills and raise my level of expertise to a higher bar.  While I'm tolerably good at some of the basics like cables and such, I want to improve those skills and take my knitting and my process of knitting to new heights.

While one of my goals for this project is to blog about the journey and the lessons I learn, I will be honest with you here and say that I'm not the most consistent blogger in the blog-a-sphere.  I'll check in as much as I can and post on my progress.  

I started a group on Ravelry, Become A Better Knitter.  This group contains many other knitters who are embarking on this journey with me.  We work at our own pace; we move through the workshops at our own pace; we knit the projects at our own pace.  If you're on Ravelry, stop by and check the group out.  Everyone is welcome and it doesn't matter what level your knitting skills are at.

So, I'm off to go start pulling possible yarn choices to knit the first project.  Check back in January 2014 for more updates!
