To the Craft Yarn Council - Would it be possible to post the photos of the new projects under the Signage/Promotion Resource page? I would like to create signs for the yarn aisles for January classes. Appreciate it.

Is anyone finding baby rattles to put in the baby rattle project? If so, where? I've been to Target, Kroger and Toy's R Us with no luck.

Hello,
I have finished (and actually submitted) my both levels more that 6 months ago and still didn't get my paper certificate. Have anybody actually seen it, touched it? :) How long does it take to actually receive the certificate?
Also does anybody know anything about Level 3 certification. I sent e-mail regarding Level 3 certification LONG time ago and they responded that it had not been ready yet and should be ready by the end of the year? Is it ready?

Since I have not received my kit yet, and don't really have a lot of confidence in the material that will be included in the kit (based on my experiences so far with communication); can someone help me understand what the spiral method of crochet is when they ask us to
"Using the spiral method, crochet a beginner-level project"

Thanks,

I want to share this two emails fron Jenny with some information:
1. For your squares, you can use some extra yarn from your stash to do the demo since it's a great way to use odds and ends of yarn. If they would like, customers can bring in some of their own yarn to work on the squares, or they can bring completed squares from home. They will be able to drop them off at Michaels anytime, so use the demo time to get the word out about the WUA event as well as your classes.

What do you think? I'm excited about the new classes. I really like the tote bag and lace shawl and many of my beginners want to work on baby blankets. I am especially excited about offering the project class. I have students who want to learn broomstick, hairpin lace, and tunisian stitch. I'll now be able to offer these classes.

I'm just starting my classes in November and have my first demo tomorrow. I know we have to print out the patterns for our classes ourselves. My manager says she has printed out the syllabuses for me, so am I suppose to make copies to keep at the registers for the customers? It's the paper they get when they sign up for class with they're list of supplies and 10% off bar code at the bottom. I can't afford that, that's 8 class syllabuses This is all new to my manager too. They haven't had a knit/crochet instructor for a couple of years.

Help! I found it, then lost it. Where do we find the new classes and patterns that we can offer beginning Nov 6?

Hi gang,
I had an inspiring story to share with you:

On Saturday a mother/daughter duo took my Single Crochet class. The daughter was about 25. She had a noticeable scar on her neck.

The mother took me aside before the class and said,

Does it bother anyone else that we are calling 5" by 7" blocks of yarn "squares"? I thought a square had to have four equal sides. Just a small thing that needles at me . . . nothing to loose sleep over. But, I sure wouldn't use the Warm Up America "Squares" in math class.
