Recent reviews of Beginner Knitting Class – Continental Style for Crocheters

  • 5/5 from Gulnaz Altaf, attended Aug 2026: Not my first time but still a first holding the yarn in the left along with one needle. The teacher was very helpful and patient. A loop do got a taster of other stitches and something to take home. The place is very welcoming and I would definitely go back again
  • 5/5 from Laura Finch, attended Jul 2026: What a fab teacher, I was given so much knowledge which will be invaluable going forward, I've been practising and all good so far!
  • 5/5 from Angela Duffin, attended Jun 2026: Sofia, Created an enjoyable and fun learning environment. She was patient, her pace of teaching mirroring the pace at which I was able to absorb and apply my new learning.
  • 5/5 from Emma Chau, attended May 2026: Sofia was a fountain of knowledge! Brilliant class, thank you
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Bennett, attended Jan 2026: Really enjoyed the class, the teacher was incredibly patient and had lots of examples of different stitches and yarns to show me along with demonstrating how knitted stitches are made. We learnt casting on, knit, purl, casting off and even got time to learn about ribbing. I’m excited to start practicing and would be interested in future classes once I’m more confident in my knitting skills
