Recent reviews of Beginners' Crochet Class: Granny Squares

  • 5/5 from Janie Sheridan, attended Oct 2026: Really great class, time just flew by. The teachers were really helpful.
  • 5/5 from Iulia Nicolae, attended Sep 2026: Really enjoyed the class! The teacher was very helpful and friendly ️
  • 4/5 from Dominika Westfal, attended Sep 2026: I really liked this class! As a complete beginner, I struggled a bit at first, but the instructor was incredibly patient and showed me alternative techniques to help me wrap my head around the basics. While my final piece didn’t turn out amazing (so no keepsake to show for it this time) I don't mind at all. Hopefully, my next attempt will look a little better! :) I highly recommend this class to anyone curious about giving crochet a try. I only wish they offered a multi-session course so we could dive into more advanced techniques and patterns!
  • 5/5 from Barbara Lockey, attended Aug 2026: Excellent teaching. I can now crochet and I had never crocheted before.
  • 5/5 from Nimmi Sundresh, attended Aug 2026: Our teacher Cherry was fantastic. I was a complete beginner and she was very patient. It was a great introduction to crochet from my perspective. I recommend the workshop to anyone wanting to try their hand at crocheting.
  • 5/5 from Thaisia Yendley, attended Aug 2026: Lily has the patience of a saint! Thank you so much for such an amazing class and giving me the basic skills I need for crochet :) It was a great sized class, good length of time, and at a great pace. I felt I could always ask for steps to be repeated too
  • 5/5 from Amirah Chaudhary, attended Aug 2026: Was a lovely intimate class of 4 people the teacher Cherri made sure everyone got 1 to 1 help when needed! I learnt how to knit a granny square and I’m 28 with absolutely NO crafting experience.

  • 3/5 from Joanna Simpson, attended May 2026: Nice class but unfortunately I didn’t grasp the basic crochet techniques.! I felt absolutely useless! I couldn’t do it at all! I must have a crochet methodical learning difficulty..! The Teacher tried to help me but gave up on me and other students tried to explain to me but I couldn’t understand how to do it! So rather disappointing for me! Left feeling utterly useless..!

It can be a hobby that is frustrating so give yourself grace and patience:)

Vanessa showed us how to start and worked consistently around the table helping those who found difficulties with the crochet.
