The Masters Program Committee is proud to announce a new
component of the Masters Program – a series of articles about stitches and
techniques. Committee members, who are also portfolio reviewers, will write the
articles.
The first article, in the latest Chain Link newsletter, is about “grouped stitches” and looks
closely at the similarities and differences in popcorns, bobbles, puffs, and
clusters. This article was written by Karen C. K. Ballard, and includes photos,
directions for the stitches used in the swatch, and a list of references so
that you can study different designers’ thoughts about the topic.
Susan Lowman and Jane Rimmer, the co-chairs of the Masters
Program Committee, see these articles as a teaching component of the Program.
The articles are intended to help crocheters learn new stitches, practice the
stitches on a swatch or small project, master techniques and understand
concepts. The Committee hopes that these articles will help crocheters to
assess their skill level, and also help them determine if they are ready to
take on the Masters Program. The articles will be compiled and archived on the
CGOA website so that you can reference them at any time.
The Committee is creating a list of topics for future
articles. If you have a stitch or technique that you are having trouble
mastering, contact us with your suggestion for an article.

The Masters Committee
members (co-chairs and reviewers) are excited about this addition to the
Masters Program! We hope your crochet skills and knowledge will be enhanced as
a result of this new component of the Masters Program.
Look for these articles in the latest and future Chain Link newsletters.
