Hi, everyone, it's Chappy. I don't know if you know, but Mom and Grandma and Grandpa have all been worrying about this money thing a lot lately, so I came up with this great idea. (Well, okay, it's really Mom's idea, but it made my tail wag, so it must be good!)
Her idea is to make an e-learning website to teach knitting
with a blend of written, audio, and video formats (because, we've all noticed that
knitting is really popular with the humans these days, and Mom's pretty smart about knitting and good at explaining things). She says that she knows there are sites out there with
free video clips, and that there are fabulous social-networking
sites (whatever that is) and blogs that she couldn't begin to compete with (something called Ravely?), still
. . . a membership site that offers complete, multi-media lessons in one place sounds good, right? Classes you could take from your own home, with your dogs (and cats, if you must) instead of having to leave them alone? I think it's a tail-wagging idea, especially if it brings my family some money so Grandpa can get have a car again instead of having to share with Grandma.
Anyway, I've single-pawdedly put together a survey and it would help so much if you (1) took it yourself, but also (2) spread the word to all your human friends--anyone who knits or might be even remotely interested in learning how. The more responses Mommy and I can get--from both knitters and non-knitters--the better!
And, because it's only fair, I talked Mom into offering a prize raffle for everyone who takes the survey. If you complete the survey, your name will be automatically entered in the raffle. And, believe me, it's not easy to talk Mom into giving away either books or yarn, so this is definitely something you should take advantage of.
Thanks, everyone! And extra thanks for helping spread the word! Mom and I are truly grateful. (I mean, really, I'm giving you my really cute, pathetic face that's supposed to be irresistable...)
Aw, Chappy, who could resist that face?!

Poor Chappy, he's not worried he won't have enough toys is he? Good luck with figuring out what you can offer, I hope you do well with it. Took the survey, will link to this post when I next post (mid week or so).

Done. Got to it from Ravelry. Found it again on Norma's blog. You're officially ubiquitous.
