A great way to spend a morning. Marg is a great teacher, with a sense of humour and patience. Would highly recommend the class.

I had a really good experience with Marg! I did the beginners crochet and I have never ever done any crocheting or knitting before. Marg was very patient with me as I was a little nervous. By the end of it, it started to look more like a granny square! Super happy I attended this class as now I have a new addiction. Thanks Marg! I’ll definitely be coming back for the knitting class.

Margaret was a fantastic teacher! Even when I felt like I had no idea what I was doing, she encouraged me to stop and think about what I’d learned! Now to sign up to my next class!

A great beginners class to learn to crotchet! Much easier with someone showing you in real life as opposed to watching YouTube... Margaret was lovely and VERY patient with us newbies. Good value all materials supplied to get started on your own granny squares. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!
