Patons Pirouette Ruffle Scarf Question - Every Second Space?

I've noticed the pattern for the Patons Pirouette Scarf says to knit in every second space, but the pictures look like they are knitting in every space. They may have a different definition of "every second space" than I do. The spaces are staggered, and you only knit into the top row of spaces. Are they counting the staggered spaces on the row below as the space between spaces?

Managers?

Is anyone else having issues with their management? It seems that the rules keep changing and corporate is just messing with us. We have a very low sign up rate in our store. I used to do a demo 2 times a month and would get 2-4 people per demo I did. Now my manager is trying to push us out completely, won't let us do demos and then complains that we don't get classes. And this goes for ALL the classes.

Anyone else dealing with this?

5" x 5" Square

For the last couple of months I have been calculating, knitting, washing, steaming, re-knitting, changing yarn, switching from my pretty wood needles to my workhorse Boye metallic needles ( tons of respect
for those needles), questioning my: huge purls compared to my petite knits, English or Continental style and then occasionally a well earned 5" x 5" square.

The real reward in all this was before my first class. I realized that I needed a couple of squares to demonstrate gauge and to teach seaming garter stitch together. I'll tell you what, both of those suckers

Discover KIDS - Crochet 1

Have you taught 'Discover KIDS - Crochet 1'? Did you have any problems pinching the yarn and getting it into a bead? If so, how did you solve it? Did you go to a thinner yarn or solve it by another method? Did you run into any other problems? If so, what were they? I've scheduled my first 'Kids' class and am looking for any thing I should plan ahead for. Thanks for the help.

Warm up america

I am having a problem with the store/ company. I thought the email from Jenny said there would be a box for the squares and signage to promote this. None of which can be found by my CEM . What do I do? How are people to know about this great thing. Even when I did the kick off for this there were no signs and people were asking me were to find things and when I told them about the movement they were interested. but want to do about the donations?
