I just thought I would bump this class up on the new posts lists! I hope to see lots of you here! :)

I scheduled this class before my book, Savvy Single Crochet, came out from Annies Attic. If you have seen the book or have it, this is your chance to learn the technique with me!

[Scorpio59]

Would it be possible for you to post a close up picture of the stitches for me to see?

Thanks!

[auntbubbels]

Will we be making a small project, or just learning the stitches

I want to join this class and I hope I don't forget!!!

[nicolep]

I'm concerned about remembering to register, too!

[AmyS]

When registration opens, we'll have a big notice appearing at the top of the forum announcing that registration is open. We'll also have some banner ads that will mention the opening date of class registration as well.

You will be learning just the stitches. It is a pure technique class. However, at the end of the class you will also be getting a couple of patterns to start with!

[auntbubbels]

I can't wait!!!!

[JoviMom]

I can't wait!!!!
Me too! It will be a FUN CLASS!!!

[AmyS]

Registration is now open for this and all other July classes!

[JoviMom]

Oh YAY! I am excited to see who will be signing up!

[auntbubbels]

I just registered and can't wait to see who I will be taking the class with :cheer:cheer

[nicolep]

I just registered, too!

[JenC]

[dobermama]

Raising hand and waving wildly, I'm in! :clap :clap Haven't taken any kind of class in a long time and looking forward to learning something new.

[Mollyanna]

I have just registered also. I always thought there was only one way to do single crochet. I'm excited to learn more!

Just curious - why do you specify steel only yarn needles? My favorite is Chibi, which I think is aluminum (but I'm not sure about that).

The chibis are aluminum or steel, and are totally fine! :) I just dont like plastic needles because they tend to distort your stitches

I'm in too. I also ordered the book from AA.

I will warn you.. AA edited out a lot of IMPORTANT INFORMATION needed to do this technique. I wasn't too thrilled to see that!

If anyone wants an autographed copy, let me know.

Hi, I'm thinking of registering for this course but I feel stumped, I only know sc what is the american sc. Sorry to ask a silly question?????

Not a Silly Question at all!

What you know as the Sc is the American Sc. In Europe they call a single crochet a Double Crochet. Since this is an American site but there are some members from other countries, I thought I better state it as the American Sc!

[Cheeria]

LOL thank you for clearing that up for me. I will be registering for the class soon. :hug

I'm interested in an autographed copy. I was so close to buying that book the other day, but wasn't sure whether I'd be buying the same patterns twice.

The patterns in the book are different than what you will get in class. Autographed copies of the AA book are available at my website!

Hi Darlene! I dont think you will have a problem at all. Since the classroom is open until the end of July.. I will be monitoring it as well! :)

I agree...I'm completely impatient. I want the class to start tomorrow. :yes

[pikawang]

Hi, Karen... Remember me, I miss your entrelac scarf class. I just signed up for your savvy single crochet... I am looking forward to learn new techniques from you.

[dobermama]

:think why is it the month of June seemed to go by so fast, UNTIL I signed up for this class??????? :lol I'm so wanting to get started and bought my needles yesterday (I only had plastic) :hook

I know what you mean! Since I registered for this class on Monday, the earth has basically stopped revolving around the sun. July 3rd is never going to arrive.

[PBLKNP]

This is tempting, but I'm still crocheting the scarf from the Entrlac class! :lol Not sure I can justify taking yet another class...

I'm excited to start a new class and learn something new!

[magiccrochetfan]

[JoviMom]

WOW! All I cant believe how big this class is going to be! This is great!

[dobermama]

How many are we up to??? Inquiring minds want to know :)

[TaleWeaverLA]

I've never taken an online class before, but all this enthusiasm let me know I had made the right decision. I'll have everything ready and sign on at 12:01 a.m. on 7/3/09! :P
OK, seriously, as a night owl, I'm curious about what time of day new posts usually go up. Thanks for the info. :hook

Im on the west coast like you! :) So usually I get the first lesson up before Noon our time. Usually between 8-10 AM thought!

[pikawang]

I am so excited for this class. I just found out that I have Friday off, so I have four day weekend to master this class (at least not behind in class).

[marnie413]

I can not wait for this class to start, but wouldn't you know it i have to work friday 12 hours so i will have to wait till saturday to start. I will have my hook in hand ready to go as soon as i wake :hook

Too bad you have to work that day. :(

I'm excited because my office is closed that day for Independence Day. :cheer I'll be sure to come around on Saturday too though in case anyone else is here to talk. :hook

[Crochetmae]

I just registered for this and can't wait. Had it in my mind it started later this month and thinking I don't know if I can wait that long( :) ) but now I see it starts Friday!! hooray!

[JoviMom]

I will be around on and off all weekend! I promise to check in at least 1 time a day!

[dobermama]

:YAY the day is almost here!!! I have off Friday and Monday :) so am really looking forward to starting this! Of course, yard work will take up some of my :crocheting time because I'm behind in it, but not ALL of my :crocheting time :lol

[JenC]

I'm looking forward to starting this class, but most likely won't get back in here until Sunday night or Monday. My friend is getting married this weekend and I'm a bridesmaid so I'm going to be pretty busy. I'm going to try to log in on Friday but I have no idea if that will happen. I've packed the supplies just in case...Hopefully I'll get to use them!

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

[nicolep]

:woo Tomorrow!!!!
