Items needed to complete Level 1 - All pricing is pre-tax, in U.S. Dollars, and I provided both retail and sale pricing when applicable:

Individual Membership to TKGA $30.00 per year ($20 of this is for a one-year subscription to Cast-On magazine)

Master Hand Knitting Level 1 (as of April, 2011) $90.00

Yarn I bought Patons Classic Wool - on sale at Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts for $4.50 a ball (regularly $5.99). I purchased 3 skeins of the cream and 2 skeins of the turquoise to be sure I had plenty for my swatches and hat. I will try to remember to note how much yarn it actually took. ($22.50 for 5 skeins of yarn)

Tags to label swatches Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts - 2.125” x 4.25” Medium Tags by The Paper Company ($1.99/pack of 20)

Page Protectors I bought a pack of 200 for $15.49 at Office Depot

Notes:

12/19/11 - It seems that I find myself diving head-first into this project then, after a short stint, I am distracted by other things and it gets set aside. With no “real” due date, it’s easy to find other things to take priority. That being said, at this rate it’ll never get done so, I NEED to start a plan to make it happen. Perhaps over the holiday I’ll sit down and do some thinking about what the Master Hand Knitting Program means and create some sort of plan to keep it progressing.
