KIC It! 2008 - Update

Yippee! My level one work is complete for the CYCA knitting instructor certification. My student teaching hours are complete and submitted. I am mailing the actual knitting pieces tomorrow for evaluation. With any kind of luck at all I will pass it in one attempt. Send mojo!

Here is my Level One Teacher's Handbook ready for mailing.

And I have secured my first paid teaching job at Ben Franklin's in Woodland Park in May. Since they already have a beginning knitter teacher, I will be teaching knit stitch pattern techniques to add texture to your knitting. It will be basic knit and purl textures to begin with. I have called the series "It's Just Two Stitches."

Now I can begin to get the samples for the class knitted. I will be teaching it as swatches and sharing how to do the math for a project. The samples will be of projects you can do with these stitch patterns. I have plans for a throw pillow called Diagonals and Diamonds, spa cloths, and a sampler scarf that will be ongoing until it gets too long to actually wear. My deadline for samples is the first part of April...egads! that is only 10 days away. Best get busy.

Hope you are following your dreams and living your passions!

National Craft Month

In honor of craft month I am going to finish my first Moebius basket and prepare my class proposals to submit to Ben Franklin's in Woodland Park. My mother brought me a flyer, says they are looking for instructors for all crafts because they are expanding their classroom and craft section. At least it is a place to start.

Plan to have my first level of CYCA certification completed by April.

Hope you are enjoying the beginning of Spring!
