• 5/5 from Suzanne Hernandez, attended Feb 2026: I signed up for a how to make a Granny Square class. A lovely lady, Jacqui, walked us through the basics until we understood it. She was very patient, thorough and encouraging all the way through the process. I managed to make nearly 2 squares in the time which looked like they were supposed to! We were given 2 balls of yarn, a hook and instructions to take away in a tote bag. I would certainly think about extending my crochet knowledge. Thank you, Jacqui.
