• 5/5 from Rachel, attended Feb 2024: A fabulous way for me and my daughter to learn the art of crocheting. Heather was a great teacher, giving lots of feedback and encouragement. Her instructions were delivered really clearly and at a good pace. There were 6 of us in the group with differing levels of crochet experience but she showed lots of patience and was able to give tips and techniques to everyone. We were provided with an instruction booklet to take home, a crochet hook and two bags of wool. We started by learning how to hold the wool and crochet hook, do a chain stitch and then progressed to double and treble stitches, making a square of crochet stitches. We both thoroughly enjoyed our workshop and would highly recommend it. Thank you so much Heather!
