TKGA Master Knitter Program Group
Some of our members are working on The Knitting Guild Association’s Master Knitter program. They meet regularly to share what they’ve learned, help each other with new techniques, and keep each other inspired.
Meetings are held at the Tigard Public Library at 7pm on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.
The library is located at 13500 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (click here for map)
What is the Master Hand Knitting Program?
The Master Hand Knitting Program is a way for members of TKGA to demonstrate mastery of knitting skills. The program is not a test or competition but rather encourages each knitter to improve his or her knitting skills through guided self education. The knitter works through three levels. Each level is reviewed by members of the Master Hand Knitting Committee. Comments and suggestions are provided to the knitter via a letter, and the knitter can then work to improve his/her weakness to pass the level. Each level requires the knitter to work specific skills via swatches and projects as well as answer questions, write reports, and evaluate knitting resources. The standards of the program are high and meant to push every knitter to learn and improve. Once the knitter has worked through all three levels she or he is awarded a certificate and pin. The title of Master Knitter is a source of pride and draws respect throughout the knitting community. – Cast On Magazine Feb-April 2015
