After the email exchange I had with Allyson on Wednesday, I feel compelled to write this review…read more First, I will take you back to September of 2010; it was not my finest hour by any means. I had graduated from college that May and had been sitting around the house collecting dust ever since. Once you have been unemployed long enough to see Family Feud go through two hosts, you know that the time had come to once again give your life purpose, so I actively began to tackle items on my bucket list. Through some research on handy-dandy Yelp, I discovered Sweatshop of Love. Last September, I started with Allyson's 'Holiday Present Prep' class (which she is repeating again this year). It is basically the class you make out of it. Everyone in the class contributes to a Google Doc list of homemade gifts that they would like to make for their friends and family. All class participants can access and alter it so everyone can encourage each other and get ideas for their gifts as well. During this 10-session course, I learned not only the knitting basics, but also how to make scarves, socks, mittens, gloves, bags, the ever popular beer cozy, and 80% of a sweater (I ran out of steam on it toward the end; smaller projects provide more instant gratification!). Granted, I was knitting like it was paying the rent and the rent was due tomorrow, but I couldn't believe the quality and amount of instruction I was able to receive for $95. Allyson is so sweet and patient; she will never say anything but encouraging things to you in class. I may not have had a job, but I still had the satisfaction of knowing I could make practical items for myself, which was (and still is) so invaluable. Almost immediately after Holiday Present Prep finished, I landed a job...and started a lunchtime knitting group. The student had become the teacher? Not quite Allyson caliber, but I knew enough to teach a group of ladies at work how to make 'Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth'. I felt like such a proud parent when my coworkers would come up to me on Monday morning and show me the progress they had made over the weekend. Anyway, this Wednesday, Allyson sent out an email regarding her upcoming fall classes, which included another item on my bucket list: learn how to crochet. Nice! If you are not ready to make that 10-week commitment, she also offers a one-night introduction to knitting and individual one or two-night projects you can choose to work on. If you are completely new to this and don't know where to begin, Allyson will also buy your supplies for the first day for an additional fee. So to sum it all up, you can learn some yarn arts at a reasonable price with a friendly group of people in a cozy coffee shop in Logan Square. If you have always wanted to learn how to knit or crochet, this is a great place to start! The only thing you stand to lose is that trip to Target when you need a new pair of socks.

The Sweatshop of Love totally rocks!…read more I had my first class with Allyson last year and she was super patient and understanding with me and my clumsy fingers. After she taught me how to knit, I wanted to take it up a notch and learn how to crochet. I went to her beginner's crochet class with a friend and we had a great time! We all chatted and drank coffee and had so much fun! She always takes the time out to help you and she never makes you feel stupid for not getting something the first (or second, or third) time. BONUS: She always sends detailed notes and instructions following a class so you don't forget what you have learned! I would HIGHLY recommend The Sweatshop of Love for your knitting and crocheting education!

I did a private cooking course with 5 others on pasta. While I wasn't too keen from the get go, I…read morecan say that I HIGHLY recommend taking a culinary course here. From the beginning, we had an appetizer that I can't recall but the tomato jam that was featured on it was definitely a highlight. They offer a small drink paring of wine or beer with your appetizer. We did a 2 hour course on puttanesca and gnocchi with a brown butter sauce. While you might ask how you could complete teaching these two dishes in 2 hours, it was quickened with the chef doing some of the work ahead of time. As individuals, we made the sauce for the puttanesca and rolled out pasta/gnocchi while the chef ended up making the pasta/gnocchi, brown butter sauce to go with the gnocchi and cooking both. The puttanesca was flavorful, but the gnocchi was a real hit amongst the whole group. I devoured all of the gnocchi and was able to save the puttanesca for delicious leftovers. The head chef is filled with a plethora of knowledge on food which made me appreciate food on a whole new level. He talked about how they do a semester course at Braise which is something I hope to do in the future! Some of us who went to this plan on recreating the dishes we made at home next week. I've been recommending this to the rest of my family as something to do and would use this as a great gift idea for the future. That's how much I enjoyed my experience!

Chef David Swanson has come up with a great idea. Take an outstanding local product and put a…read moreclass together in an interesting location to teach people how to use that ingredient. He's an entertaining, energitic, fun teacher that has interesting and unexpected ideas for food. Class prices seem high, but it's absolutely worth it. You learn something about a local company and get to learn from an excellent chef in a small, informal classroom type setting. And be hungry when you arrive, lots of food to be sampled! You take home the recipies that he demonstrated. Mine was filled with notes I wrote since he shares his secrets (that are not printed on paper!) that help elevate your cooking skills. Makes a great gift as well. I've signed up my mom and myself and we went together, which was fun.

When coming to the school, they do not tell you all the negative parts of the nursing program and skip a lot of the information that would persuade a person out of going there. I wish I would have been aware of the changes that Herzing initiates throughout their program that ultimately screws students over. The lack of communication from higher-up staff is also insane. When you complain about something or have an issue, they disregard it and say "they are doing their best" when truly, students are just constantly thrown under the bus. I wish I would have know about the constant issues faced here at Herzing before spending thousands of dollars on an education I didn't feel was valuable to my nursing career. Save yourself the time, and money, and go somewhere else. You are NOTpossible at Herzing.

The students have formed study groups and are actively involved. OTA Milwaukee is a true "Community of Practice". It is committed to lifetime learning in a way few other institutions, including universities where I was a professor, are not.

The care for the client we had there was horrible, I wouldn't place an enemy there. If you love your elder don't place them here. Neglect was evident on some of the residents that I saw (our elder too). I understand that Castle is understaffed but that doesn't mean a resident shouldn't be cared for, pay your CNAs what they are worth and maybe you'd have better care. Regardless the CNA and LPNs and the RNs should be ashamed of their work ethics. This was by far the worst senior living company I've ever seen. Yes I've worked as a CNA but I took pride in caring for my residents and the families appreciated the few minutes of extra time I gave. I would never put my parents in this facility, they would be better off somewhere else keep on looking for other places you won't regret it.
