What people are saying
Very friendly and knowledgeable host, Jacki. Well paced, relaxed learning experience. Cosy setting with all necessary materials. Looking forward to the next step.
Jacki is excellent and fun as is Meg, the owner of the shop where the course takes place. They gave 30 years’ knitting experience between them and really know their stuff, but they are patient and welcoming to beginners. No question is a stupid one. Loved it!!
I learnt all the basics and feel confident casting in- knitting, purling and casting off. Jacki is a Great tutor and gives friendly, knowledgeable advice. I’m hooked!
