Classes

This has been a crazy summer for classes. We usually try to offer quite a variety but people get so busy in the summer it's hard to nail them down to do a class. The Bungee Knitting and Crochet work well because the class runs all summer but the student only come when they need to.

Matt taught his first spinning class and he was very good at it. Meanwhile his real job took off and he's working 70-80 hours a week. He has another class in August and is hoping Shelley will take it unless her new grandson is born and then she's not sure what she will be up to. Shelley has also hired on at the shop a few hours a week.

Catherine had planned to do a sock class with Denise's help. Last week they were all together and Catherine said she's having scheduling problems with her Mom and so they asked shelley to take this class. She did and she loves it. Catherine is coming back to work in August but Denise asked for time off. Traudie's weaving class might go - we have two in the 4 harness class - I'd like 5. Nancy hurt her back last week so she was unable to teach Bungee Knitting - therefore I'm helping a customer finish a sweater that she is trying to finish for some twins.

You can see how life changes around a yarn shop every day. The one thing I love about it is you never know what's going to happen from one day to the next. Flexibility is key.
You never know what customers are going to come in that day, what shipments you will get or not get, how much money you make in a day. It certainly keeps me hopping.

Keep knitting - think Fall!
