• 5/5 from Anne McEwan, attended Mar 2026: It was a beginners crochet class and Karla was an excellent teacher, nothing was too much trouble for her to explain and demonstrate.. I would most definitely do another workshop here.
• 5/5 from Linda Forth, attended Mar 2026: It was very good. Karla was very good at explaining how to do it. We were supplied with wool x 2 different colours and crochet hook. There was also a handout with all the steps that we needed. We brought the wool and crochet hook and our own first attempts home. I would recommend this workshop.
• 5/5 from Amanda Collins, attended Feb 2026: This was a great introduction to crochet. Our teacher was warm and friendly and explained things well. We were provided with 2 large balls of wool, a crochet needle and a sheet of instructions to take away. We really enjoyed our class.
• 1/5 from Maria Kelly, attended Feb 2026: I’m actually extremely disappointed. I never got complete confirmation email or anything when I booked it and I had no reminder of the course so I never went. I searched and searched to make sure that the information was booked and the course was booked but I couldn’t find any proof that it was so I’m really really upset because I’ve lost my money and I never went to the course so I actually think this is rubbish.
• 5/5 from Alison Nazari, attended Jan 2026: Thoroughly enjoyed my beginners crochet workshop yesterday, I was a complete beginner and walked out absolutely hooked!

• 5/5 from Julie Ager, attended Jan 2026: Great class, only one other lady and the instructor. Our instructor sat between us which made it easier to learn as you could see what she was doing. She was very friendly and made the class very enjoyable and gave lots of praise and help

Lauren was great and had such a lovely attitude towards us. She answered all our questions and helped us figure out any mistakes or mishoops. Loved the chunky yarn we were given, in a cute little tote bag. It was great value for money and a really enjoyable afternoon!

• 5/5 from Angela Noble, attended Apr 2024: I went to the crochet session to learn the basics of the skill. The teacher Lauren was extremely patient and not rushing any of us. We chatted about the town, why we wanted to learn, we chatted as a small group making it all more relaxing. The venue was upstairs of the Hobbycraft shop, however as a disabled person I had the use the service lift. I learned the basic crochet stitching and made almost a square though it did resemble a butterfly! Maybe the cost was a bit steep for 2 balls of yarn, a crochet hook and a printout? It was fun meeting up with others of a similar age with similar interests, and Lauren was just so lovely.

We were given 2 balls of chunky wool which was great as our work grew quickly. Lauren was very good at helping us whe we got stuck. I've tried teaching myself in the past and got nowhere but I really feel I've learned the basics now and it wasn't as difficult as I thought. The workshop was well worth the money.

I needn’t worry as I was made to feel at ease and was shown the steps of crocheting one to one when I was struggling. Lovely teacher and a great class. Will definitely look into doing another.

The equipment provided was perfect to get us going and having a slightly separate area for the workshop was a real bonus. We all really enjoyed it and feel well equipped to progress
• 5/5 from Teresa, attended Dec 2023: Venue at Hobbycraft was good. We sat around a table & were presented with a “goody” bag. Large crochet hook & 2 balls of chunky wool, nice complimentary colours - there were also A4 instruction sheets and a really nice tote bag. Lauren & Dawn were brilliant & had lots of patience with all of us. We all managed to crochet a square by the end of the session. Most importantly, we all had a laugh and the evening just flew by. Most enjoyable.
