I've never done one of these courses before, but this one intrigued me as it was entirely new to me. I paid my money and waited patiently.
This past weekend the first of two lessons was put up. Like the FLAK you're fed a little at a time. This is being taught by JC Briar, and she has apparently taught other courses there before.
When I began to read the information provided in Lesson 1 I had an "ah ha!" moment. This is not rocket science, but it is fun. Here's what I did yesterday.
It truly is reversible! And I'm already thinking of other options. This will be a scarf that's approximately 3.5 inches wide and 42 inches long. I'm using "Wool of the Andes" from Knit Picks and size 7 needles. The recommended needle size was 9, but I knit too loose for that. This seems to be right.
Lesson 2 will be another scarf, slightly larger, and patterned all over. Stay tuned!

Ah-Ha! I love your commentary about learning. I also love the conversations that take place in some of these comment sections.
That reversible cable is great. Currently I am addicted to one skein two hour hats.
The Okracoke pattern is unique and I love the color... very fun indeed - looking forward to seeing that one modeled in Okracoke!
