• 3/5 from Carole Swan, attended May 2026: I bought the beginners class crochet course as a present for my adult daughter. I asked in the shop about her being left handed and stated on the form. Whilst she enjoyed the course and has leant to do a little crochet sadly the teacher kept forgetting she was a lefty and even the printed hand outs were for right handlers. Would has been useful if left handed mess was helped! She really enjoyed the course though

The class is a perfect introduction to crochet and guided us through the slip knots, double crochet, and treble crochet.
