C1B - Smart Phone Cover

I haven't taught any of the classes yet. I just got my access to the curriculum materials and was getting ready to make my samples for the first class. Class syllabus for the single crochet class specifies an H hook. The Skinny Scarf specifies an H hook. If I click on the picture of the Smart Phone Cover, the web page specifies an H hook for this too, but the PDF file with the pattern in it, which I would expect to use as the handout in class, specifies a G hook.

Recruiting for classes

I am teaching in 2 stores that have only had the Wilton classes for several years.  After 2 demos per store, I still have no folks signing up for the classes.  I have made fliers with dates/times and hung them in the yarn department.  I know it's the holiday time, but I am really interested in starting off well with the classes.  The store managers are supportive and realize that we may have to cancel empty classes or have very small classes to begin.Has anybody found any success with class recruitment? 

Textured side to side scarf

Has anyone taught the side to side scarf?  I'm wondering how you handled teaching the 2nd and 3rd rows in the class time frame when there are 170 stitches per row.  I first taught the stitches and then had her start the scarf.  We ended up starting the 2nd row before the 1st row was done.  She did about 10" of the 2nd row then turned and started the 3rd row.  She'll have to take it out at home or start a new scarf.

Info from calls

You shared so much information with us on the recent calls, I wonder if you are going to condense all that was shared into an updated email? I have no idea what a MOOG is or how to access it. Also getting paid for classes is important...can you share with us how to do that? I tried to take notes but I want to make sure I have the right information.
