“I thoroughly enjoyed my Fairisle knitting class. Nessa is a kind and patient teacher. She explained the techniques we were learning clearly and we were all very proud of what we had achieved! I hope to attend more classes in the future and I thoroughly recommend Four Otters Crafts to anyone who wants to learn from scratch, or improve their skills.”

“Nessa was amazing. Relaxed sociable class with clear information, time to practice and practical help,where needed. As we had our established ways of knitting, Nessa enabled us to incorporate this into the new skill rather than a rigid right and and wrong way. Can't wait to start a fair isle project”

“A lovely class. I was a bit daunted to discover I was the only participant but Nessa soon put me at ease & it was great to have individual attention from her tailored to my needs. I learnt about the origins of fair isle & how to read & follow a chart. There was time for 2 practice pieces which helped me to gain confidence. Nessa also helped me to understand a pattern for a tank top I hope to master which was a great help (she even spotted a flaw in the pattern which shows what a good proof reader she is too!)”

“Would thoroughly recommend this class to anyone who can cast on, knit, purl and cast off. I would class myself at the good beginner/early intermediate level. Tutor really skilled, able to help with mistakes, really cool quirky venue”
