    It was a brilliant session. Alicia is a fantastic teacher, very patient, calm and friendly! Even after repeatedly explaining some steps. The location was very cosy and the others on the group were friendly too. I went from never crocheting to now being able to double and treble crotchet. I am more confident in the craft.

    Great intro to crocheting, which started really from the basics which I definitely appreciated as someone that hasn't even attempted to crochet before, very patient and kind teacher and I loved that we could keep yarn and needle afterwards to continue practicing. I am really impressed as I can be quite impatient with learning new skills such as this, but I was super surprised that I ended the class knowing a lot more than I expected to through the patience of Alicia! I didn't know how to even hold the needle and ended the class being able to do a single stitch, double crochet and started to learn triple. I didn't get as far as starting a granny square but perhaps if the group was smaller, I could have had more 1-1 help from the teacher and progressed a little faster - this is my only criticism of the class but I still enjoyed it overall and would give it 4/5 stars. Also, the location was great in the coffee shop, and loved having a coffee half way through - thank you, this is a great club and I hope to continue attending future classes after practicing at home.
