Brilliant! Good informative, at your own pace course. Course leader made sure she went round everyone, checking in with each person. I learnt how to hold the yarn, chain stitch, double, half treble and treble stitch. At the end I had some time to work on the start of a granny square. Really enjoyed it, thank you.

Tracy was lovely and very encouraging throughout the class. I came away knowing 2 stitches and have been able to start making a scarf. I would thoroughly recommend this course. I was an absolute beginner and it was a great introduction to crochet.

Tracy at Hobbycraft Cheltenham was really helpful and I learned and mastered several things I have been struggling with . I will now be able to master Crochet and understand a pattern. Well worth the money I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to Crochet.

The teacher was lovely. I already knew how to basic stitches, but she showed us how to cast on and where to start the first stitch and end the last one. She didn't want me to be bored, so showed me how to do other things, like make a ring and read a pattern.

The teacher (Eden) was wonderful, approachable, friendly, patient providing the perfect balance of guidance to enable us to be confident in developing this new skill. 1.5 hours flew by. It was great fun. We learned various techniques that allowed us to carry on independently. I appreciated that Eden took the time to answer our questions and offered to give us tips about the type of designs each of us was interested in creating after the course. It was great that Eden explained what we should watch out for so that we don't get confused (UK and American system). I got this experience as a gift and it was excellent. I already recommended it to others and I'd love to come back for other workshops.
