Class at Needlecraft University

Today I'm finishing the sweater vest I made in my online course at Needlecraft University.
http://www.needlecraftuniversity.com/
Check out the site, they have classes in crochet, knitting and ribbon embroidery. The crochet classes include classic crochet, Tunisian and Broomstick Lace; and there is great variety in the projects. The class I took was Lace Vest, but the important part of the class was not simply following a pattern & making the vest. This class taught how to take your measurements, work a gauge swatch, and then how to calculate how to make this fit. With the information learned, I can now use any sweater pattern I like and adjust the pattern to fit me.
I'll get pictures soon, I want to post one here and one in the classroom files at Needlecraft University.
What class shall I take next? :-)
