CGOA Master's Class Anyone?

[Marca17]

Hello All,

Not sure if anyone out there has done the CGOA Master's Class before it was redone, but I just signed up for it and was wondering if anyone would like to CAL with me???? I'm nervous but yet excited about this and was hoping someone else would be too....

 

Looking forward to any insight,

Thanks

Mel

Well let me know how it goes I was thinking of doing that but I think I need to improve on some more skills before I give it a whirl.

Thanks magiccrochetfan, I didn't know that it is being discussed on Ravelry (I haven't looked at their forums before). I will have to check that out!

I gave it some serious thought, but I'm afraid I have too much going on this summer. However, I will lurk around this CAL to see how you are doing and to give you some moral support, if that would help!

Yes Mollyanna we will take all of the moral support we can get... Of course the one hook that I want to use, I can't find.. it's probably stuck in with some project that I didn't realize I didn't finish somewhere underneath all of the stashed yarn. I did however find the tags that I want to use for the swatches. I am headed for Chicago on Wednesday so that makes me nervous that I'll either get a lot done, or none at all... wish me luck! I'd like to take some on the plane, but I don't think the hook will make it through security... anyone else traveled with hooks carry-on lately?

[a_stitchintime]

you can travel with hooks... I just did in February!

 

I keep going back to see the scoop on this class... need to find room in my budget for it....

 

Hope you have a good trip!

Hey there, well I made it to Chicago and I actually have gotten quite a bit done... I am actually on swatch 15 or so, which is a good start (I have been crocheting for a few years now but I am really having fun with the different swatch "challenges"). I am flagging a few to go back and perfect if I have an opportunity. I broke down and bought another of the hooks that I was looking for. At some point I will teach someone to crochet and will have lots of extra "goodies" to give them! Chicago is great but muggy. Anyone out there know of any good yarn shops/craft stores in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago? Take care and I will update more later!

Well I took a short hiatus from my CGOA Masters to work a bit on an afghan for a friend, and a cross stitch night light for my mom's new beach house. Now, I am back on track and completed 7 swatches for the Master's yesterday . GO me! So now I am going to work on the swatches that need more than one color as well as trying to start on answering some of the questions. It's all coming together! WOO HOO.

[Marca17]

I got hooked and combined the desire to want to move forward quick in the Masters project with the desire to stop eating awful food in large proportions. I took my Master's work to work with me and work on it very day during my lunch time (however short)! I have been hooked for the past four days and have made MAJOR progress. I would say I've done like 20 swatches in the matter of a week and a half! I am down to like the last 7 swatches and then I will have to go back and work on the questions and pesky gauge swatch! But I am thrilled with the progress in such a short period of time. I really like how the program has given me more confidence in what I was already doing..hoepfully the reviewers won't be too harsh, but I LOVE constructive criticism.

This is so cool! I wish I would have seen this thread sooner. I'm going to seriously consider this. For so long I've been stuck at intermediate. I really want to try and push myself to be better.

Nicole - me too!!!! I am hoping that Santa brings me the class materials:devil
