“This was a fantastic class! The individual attention, and one on one help was invaluable. It was really great to have this class tailored to my existing skill levels, rather than a one size fits all approach. While my hands might have struggled a bit I felt like I was getting the hang of it by the end! Thank you so much.”

“I wanted to take on the challenge of continental style knitting after a lifetime of English throwing and I certainly got that chance today. My 77yearold brain seemed reluctant to change yet with Sofia’s patience and persistence I managed about 3 different styles in knit and puri plus colour work and knitting backwards which is a system of knitting colourwork in the flat without having to purl. Very counterintuitive but I felt ridiculously pleased with myself! I tried to consolidate the learning when I got home with limited success but I’ve set a target of 15 minutes a day for a week to get it into my muscle memory. Sofia was an inspiring teacher and two hours flew by. I highly recommend this workshop.”
