I passed!

On Thursday I got the letter with my resubmitted level 1 swatches saying that I passed! I then got started on the knitting for level 2 in earnest. I have all the pieces knit for swatches 1-4, and 6-7. I had a question on number 5, but that's been answered so I can get to that soon. I also knit the decrease swatches (8-10), and started on my first lace swatch.

Here's a peek at all the ones I've finished as they're being blocked:


The lace is going to take a while. I'm using size 2 needles and some pretty fine laceweight yarn. The inch of seed stitch on each end is a bit time consuming. For the first one, I've picked "Elfin Lace" from the first Barbara Walker Treasury. I got it all charted out, so writing the pattern should be quite simple.

I have a flight tomorrow, but will probably take my socks in progress instead of dragging this TKGA stuff along. It's no fun to carry around my reference books.
