     If we look at my information on Craftsy, I have 19 classes and 59 patterns. I am not even going to look at my wish list. Of my 19 classes only 7 are knitting centered. I also have a few sewing, quilting, embroidery and photography classes.

     Craftsy offers free mini classes that give you an idea of the format and flow of their online classes. They have full length classes also, with knitting classes starting at $29.99. (Note: if you sign up for their newsletter, you will get occasional emails with discounted class rates.) When searching for a class, you can break down your search into the following categories of which some classes can fit into multiple categories:

• Fundamentals with 9 classes to chose from
• Techniques with 18 classes to chose from
• Fast & Friendly with 10 classes to chose from
• Accessories with 11 classes to chose from
• Shawls & Sweaters with 22 classes to chose from
• Fitting with 5 classes to chose from
• Pattern Design with 8 classes to chose from
• Business Basics with 5 classes to chose from
• Lion Brand Classes with 4 classes to chose from

     There is so much more I can say about Craftsy, but I would rather let you find out on your own.
