Recent reviews of Intermediate Knitting Course – 3-Week Skill Builder

  • 5/5 from Anne Alexander, attended Jan 2026: Turns out I was the only person booked on this course. What a treat for me! Fabulous one to one tuition that was built around my needs and skill level. Nessa was great and suggested big changes to the course when she realised that there were parts I didn’t need. Had a thoroughly lovely time and came away with useful new skills. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Alessandra Fabbri, attended Aug 2024: I met Vanessa in the Covent Garden Studio and was looking forward to this session in Wood Green: what I didn't realise is that I would have had the pleasure of her mentoring all for myself for the evening! What a privilege to learn from such a talented, patient and delightful person: for the first time I attempted cables and despite a rocky start I learnt the basics of the construction process.I asked to many questions and Nessa was so patient and kind! She has dozens of books with hundreds of stitches and patterns and she masterfully broke down the instructions explaining the hows and the whys.. We had such a laugh I don't remember the last time I was so at ease! I am looking forward to the next session and can't wait to learn more. PS: the little studio is so cosy and nite, I loved the little coloured buildings and the Alice in Wonderland atmosphere.
