So I went to the post office the other day and there was a big priority mail package. What could it be? I haven't ordered anything. So I rip it open and lo' and behold! It's my Master Knitter level 1 notebook returning from the reviewers! I wasn't expecting it yet. Anyway, only 2 swatches to reknit and a couple of questions to resubmit. The reviewers provide so much feedback on every swatch! What's good, what could be improved, etc. I've learned so much already. I'm hoping to get the resubmits in the mail next week and then on to level 2.
I almost have Oregon's first sleeve done. Finally. Very disappointing that I have another one to do though. Stupid sleeves.
My cousin has been posting old pictures of our family on Facebook. What a hoot!
Here's me in my first wagon. I think I was a few months short of 2. Nice bangs.
Here I am bathing with my cousin Danny. Nice pigtails.
I love this one because I think it's my first rendezvous with Chex party mix. Which I love. Especially with extra Tobasco. Nice security blankie.
The pictures still look like you, though. Younger and smaller, of course...LOL!
Good for you finishing your Master Knitters course! I quit about half way through the 2nd one because I found it was taking up all my "knitting time" and I was so impatient to knit real projects! I may take it up again... it sure helps, ie. forces you to learn a lot, so good luck on the next one.

Those are great memories. I had a red wagon & bangs/pigtails too. heh! Don't get me started on the Chex... very addicting! You're still cute Sonya! :)

Congrats on Master Knitter - I'm very impressed that you only have 2 swatches to re-do. Impressed, but not surprised. Love the old pics, what a cutie you were, even back them.

Impressive encounter w/Chex Mix. Don't you love those old pictures? I love your bangs.
Yay for getting your MK swatches back and w/great feedback and for finishing one of Oregon's sleeves! Too bad the other one won't knit itself. They never do, the bad things.

Gotta love all the wood paneling from the 70s.
Did you and your wagon run over the man laying on the floor in the first picture? heheh

Sonya- I think we all have a bunch of photos with the panelling on the walls- dig those '70s hairstyles.
Congratulations on your Master Knitter course.
Keep on Truckin".

Ah, the 70's. I shared your lovely hairdays, *sigh* (don't forget we're a few months apart...). I had a friend with a pair of white bell bottoms complete with the Jell-o logo all over them. Nice.
Yeah, I know! What is it with always having 2 sleeves?!
