KPC Module One: Unit 12

During the final unit of Module One, we had to submit an essay and give a short presentation which is, as I explained right back at the beginning, the reason for the existence of this project!

In the essay, we had to explain how we had achieved the learning outcomes set out for Module One, and we had to evaluate how we felt we were getting on as part of the group, and with the course more generally. The presentation was then a short round-up of the essay.

The presentation went well – as you’ve seen in the photographs, I carefully pinned out the shawl and took it along to the group. I didn’t have time during my talk to describe all the different bits, but I was able to give enough of a flavour of it that they understood what I was saying. Afterwards, several people came over for a closer look, and I was able to explain some more, which was really fun! (In fact, I’m still getting occasional comments from people even now, several weeks later :-)).

In my end-of-module report, my tutor remarked “Your presentation definitely had the WOW factor from me and ticked all of my boxes 🙂 .”.  I’m delighted to say that I have since had confirmation that I have indeed passed Module One, and I’ve started the next module.

The last three months have been quite an experience, I’ve certainly learned an awful lot, improved my listening skills, and have made some new friends. I’m so looking forward to Module Two!

How then to represent all this in my knitting? As I wrote the essay, and refelected on all that I’ve been learning, I found myself imagining looking in a mirror – looking to see what was really there. So, I decided to create two sets of diagonal lines, each mirroring the other. Then, as we had just wrapped up Module One, I picked up the stitches down one edge of the shawl, laying the foundations for Module Two…
