- 5/5 from Phillippa Seaward, attended May 2026: The teacher was knowledgeable and supportive throughout. Very helpful and kind, to help me learn something new. I have some basic skills to build on. Many thanks.
- 5/5 from Jess Olds, attended May 2026: I liked the time we spent, teacher was great, calm and praising
- 5/5 from Yvonne Greene, attended Mar 2026: The teacher was very patient and helpful and made an extra effort to help me as I’m left handed. By the end of the class we had learned how to start our piece and the 3 most common stitches. I really enjoyed it and would definitely sign up for another class. The fee included a crochet hook, 2 balls of wool of our own colour choice and a set of printed notes. Very good value.
- 5/5 from Larraine Loosley, attended Mar 2026: Class was very informative, relaxing and teacher was great. A most enjoyable experience.
- 5/5 from Emma Fordham, attended Jan 2026: Brilliant class. Teacher was clear, friendly and helpful. She made me feel relaxed and at ease during the session. Really took time to explain and make sure I had the idea and helped me understand it.
- 5/5 from Maureen Eby, attended Dec 2025: She was such a patient person I just could not get my hands to work but she persisted and at the end of the class I was working double crochet clumsily but doing it. She was such a calm patient teacher I would highly recommend her classes
- 4/5 from Jodie Gray, attended Jul 2025: Class was good, a little bitty in places but very useful.
- 5/5 from Patricia, attended Nov 2023: Lucia provided an easy to follow class for myself and a child, she’s easy going and clearly extremely talented at what she does (judging from all the crochet things around the store)! She’s very patient and kind in her classes very pleased, thank you so much! ️ she’s a star!
- 5/5 from Shaynetelle Thomas, attended Apr 2023: Absolutely phenomenal Couldn't be happier :) great teacher, great explanations and demonstrations, surprisingly relaxed and comfortable environment considering it was on the shop floor, just yeahh.. great everything Incredibly thankful for Lucia's help
