• 5/5 from Pushpa White, attended Feb 2025: The teacher was lovely. I already knew how to basic stitches, but she showed us how to cast on and where to start the first stitch and end the last one.

• 5/5 from Kevin Miller, attended Dec 2024: The teacher (Eden) was wonderful, approachable, friendly, patient providing the perfect balance of guidance to enable us to be confident in developing this new skill. 1.5 hours flew by. It was great fun. We learned various techniques that allowed us to carry on independently. I appreciated that Eden took the time to answer our questions and offered to give us tips about the type of designs each of us was interested in creating after the course. It was great that Eden explained what we should watch out for so that we don't get confused (UK and American system). I got this experience as a gift and it was excellent. I already recommended it to others and I'd love to come back for other workshops.
