  • 5/5 from Anne Ford, attended Oct 2025: We were a party of 3, celebrating a birthday. It was fun to learn a new skill and our teacher was excellent taking each part of the process slowly that we were able to learn and grow in confidence. Most enjoyable.
  • 5/5 from Paola Alba, attended Sep 2025: I enjoyed so much my first knitting class, Nessa has the teaching gift, as a beginner I felt comfortable and connected to the lesson, she explained every step with clarity and at a nice speed, where I could follow confidently. The place is very pleasant and has a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend if you want to learn or needs to be guided on any specific project. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Raquel Gil Solis, attended Feb 2024: I had the privilege of having a lesson by myself with Nessa. We made two beautiful hats (a lot prettier than in the picture) while chatting and getting to know each other. The place is a little workshop full of tarn and knitting needles. I was given to chose a few colored yarns and we finished then with the hat. I had just a little left for the pom pom which she was so kind to give me for it. She also gave me some knitting needles to make more with yarn I brought with myself and showed her after the lesson.
