Knitting

CY instructor

I'm seriously considering enrolling in the Knitting Certification courses, and would like to know what they will involve.
I have, in the past, taught beginner's knitting classes for JoAnn's, and at the local public library.
How many lessons are there, in each section, how many classes are in Knitting 1 and 2? Will I be mailing swatches of pattens they ask me to make, and will I need to become a part of Michael's, in order to be certified? Or, may I complete the course, and strike out on my own?

Confused with knitting pattern instructions

Hi there everybody.

Please can you help cause i'm sooooo confused!

I'm knitting a jersey and am busy with the left front. it says to work evenly until piece measures 12.5" from beg, end on WS.( I've got 43sts) Then i enter the Inc Row which says: K1, M1k work to end (44sts). Rep this inc every 1" 3 times more. AT THE SAME TIME (?), when piece measures 13.5" from beg, end on WS.

No my question is, if i'm on 12.5" and then i start increasing one stitch every 1" 3 times surely it will be longer than the 13.5" it says i should have?

Or am I reading it wrong?

Knitting instruction on Caron Simply Yarn Patter

Hi, I need help in reading the instruction for Lacy Tank knitting pattern for Caron Simply Soft, hope that someone can help me. I am using the same yarn and needle, but cannot figure out how to work on row 3 for the Lacy Rib. In row 2, after dropping the remaining YO, there is another new Yo add on, but when I knit row 3, the instruction did not mention how to deal with that YO, just "knit slipped St, inserting needle under both yarn-over strands and into st, k3", I am so confused about that, I have been thinking whether to knit all the YO with S1 together, but it does not work.
