• 5/5 from Cheryl Mathieu, attended Mar 2026: I thoroughly enjoyed this beginner crochet workshop! Chrissie was a fantastic instructor — knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging throughout. In just one session, I learned both UK double crochet and treble crochet stitches, which felt like a real achievement as a complete beginner. The pace was just right, and Chrissie made sure I felt comfortable and confident. I'd highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to pick up a new craft!
• 5/5 from Suzanne Durov, attended Mar 2026: Having bought my grandchildren ‘how to crochet your own toys’ for Christmas and not being able to follow the instructions myself, I booked into the beginners class for crochet. Everything was provided and the teacher was very patient, encouraging us to start with the slip knot. In 1 1/2 hrs we learnt how to double and treble crochet too. I feel confident I can now help my grandchildren with their first steps to crocheting. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and may go back for a follow up, once I’ve practised what I learnt.

• 5/5 from Ursula Reeve, attended Dec 2025: Chrissie was very friendly and approachable. She ensured that we understood her instructions and helped us when we needed more support.

The session was very enjoyable and we will be returning for a further class once we have mastered beginers crochet :)

Patient, kind and knowledgeable on topic she personalised and tailored her individual guidance as well as delivering the entire overall content of the course. She alone really did make the event worth every penny. The equipment provided was good quality and everything we needed to get started. Thank you
• 5/5 from Mollie Potter, attended Oct 2025: This class is excellent. It was so much easier to learn by watching a person rather than a book or video. Chrissie made it really easy to understand and corrected me when I made a mistake. I'd highly recommend these workshops. Thank you.
• 5/5 from Patsy Ryz, attended Aug 2025: I enjoyed the crochet workshop The teacher was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I hope to be able to do another workshop soon
• 5/5 from Louise Caplin, attended Aug 2025: Chrissi was superb and patient. Learnt chain stitch double and treble stitch would like to know more and perhaps for a longer class.
• 4/5 from Lisa Pemberthy, attended Aug 2025: Chrissie the instructor was fab, very patient and encouraging. The class had 5 people in it and it was quite tricky for her to keep helping everyone. Maybe a bit more advice at the beginning to make sure you keep it loose would have helped. A fun afternoon and I’m inspired to keep trying it. The things Chrissie had made were outstanding! Thank you
• 3/5 from Liz Vajir, attended Aug 2025: My children found it difficult to follow and not partocularly engaging. Would probably have been fine for adults.

• 5/5 from Amanda, attended Apr 2025: Great to have only the 2 of us, which allowed a lot of individual support. Teacher was friendly, informative and most importantly patient. Nice to be in a private room rather than on the shop floor. Learnt to make a chain stitch, double crochet and treble crochet. Left with lots of yarn to practice with! Thank you
• 5/5 from Joanna Harris, attended Mar 2025: Chrissie is the most amazing teacher. She is able to explain things so simply, and she was happy to repeat steps if needed, so that even I have come away from the class feeling that I have the basic skills to start making simple items - starting with a scarf to perfect my stitches and tension. Everything that was needed was supplied - two colours of yarn, a crochet hook, written instructions to take away so there was no need to make notes, and a tote bag to store everything in. The class was held in a comfortable room, away from the shop floor, so it was easy to concentrate on the class. The time flew by, but we were able to learn how to tie a slip knot, chain stitch, the double and treble stitch. Luckily there were only two of us in the class, so lots of individual attention. It was inspiring to see some items in the room which Chrissie had made - she is a very talented lady. I couldnt resist buying a few items in the shop after the class - a pretty bag to store the yarn safely, a matching holder for crochet hooks, stitch markers and just a littl bit more yarn may have fallen into my shopping basket. I am already planning on attending the Granny Squares class, and having some one to one sessions when I am starting a project, I have really caught the crochet bug!

• 5/5 from Joanna Harris, attended Jan 2025: Sadly I was unable to attend the class I had booked, as on the morning I woke up with a horrible cough and cold. I did message the tutor to let her know. I will rebook when I have recovered, as I have heard this class is excellent.

Much practice now needed though for me personally!
• 5/5 from Lisa Street, attended Nov 2024: The beginners crochet class with Chrissie was excellent, we learnt all the basic stitches and she went at a great pace so it was easy to keep up.
