Dave reviewed: Crochet workshops in Leeds City Centre

"Had a relaxed afternoon with Ann learning Crochet. This was a birthday gift for a friend, they were really pleased as they had tried and failed to learn crochet off YouTube a number of times. They left having mastered the basics ready to start making. Ann was very patient with me as I am not the most nimble, but even I produced some crochet by the end of the course. This feels an ideal way to learn or improve a skill, in a relaxed and calm atmosphere. "

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you, Dave, for these kind words. I am glad your friend enjoyed the session - they did very well and I hope their success continues. I was pleased with the efforts you made - as you say, not the most nimble, but you persevered. Kind regards Ann"

"I enjoyed my time with Ann being reminded of the basics of crochet in such pleasant surroundings Ann was very patient as I struggled continually with my foundation row until I eventually succeeded. As I am wanting to go onto amigurumi crocheting , Ann showed me how to do a magic circle - the start of most amigurimi patterns .I have no hesitation in recommending Ann as a teacher . "

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you Val for your review. I enjoyed working with you and I hope your perseverance has paid off and you are now able to work on your amigurimi patterns. Don't forget to send me a picture! Kind regards Ann"

"What a fab way to spend the afternoon, transfixed with knitting and with the great company of Ann! I bought the course tickets for my husband who expressed an interest to learn to knit and Ann’s 2 hour session was the perfect amount of time to learn the basics and fill us with confidence to go away and conquer patterns. Thanks so much Ann for your time, patience and for sharing your amazing knitting knowledge :)"

Elizabeth reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"I booked a one to one session with Ann to learn how to knit. As a complete beginner, Ann was very patient, knowledgeable and extremely easy to get along with. Not only did I learn the basics over a lovely cup of tea but we had a lot in common to chat about. I was given instructions to take home with me and would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. I really enjoyed the session."

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you Elizabeth for taking the time to write this review and for your kind words - we did chat a lot!!!! I am glad you enjoyed our session together and hope that you are able to carry on from this. Kind regards Ann"

Grace Cauldwell reviewed: Crochet workshops in Leeds City Centre

"Ann was friendly, knowledgeable and competent. My mum and I had a fabulous time learning to crochet. I went from having no idea how to do anything to being confident in basic stitches and able to follow a pattern. The venue is lovely, but Ann is the star, with intense support, because of the personalised learning and an easy to understand manner and clear explanations."

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you Grace for your kind words. I am glad you and your mum enjoyed the workshop and that you felt that you had progressed whilst learning to crochet. You were both a pleasure to teach. I hope you have both found something to relax to."

Jainy reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"My husband and I learnt crocheting in the 2 hours workshop. We are both beginners and the workshop helped us to start off in crocheting by providing clear understanding of the basics. Ann is a great teacher, providing clear directions and very patient which made it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The in person guidance helps a lot as you can clear all doubts that keep arising. 2 hours time slot is just sufficient, not too short or long. So would definitely recommend it to people who are interested in learning knitting skill. I have just finished making my first project - a hat and it feels wonderful to have achieved it. So thank you Ann!"

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Hi Jainy, Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you both found the workshop a helpful and enjoyable experience and that the 2 hours is sufficient. Well done on completing your hat - you're obviously "hooked" Hopefully more projects will follow. Good luck! Kind regards Ann"

Carolyn reviewed: Crochet workshops in Leeds City Centre

"I had a great 1:1 session with Ann in the lovely surroundings of the Vintage Tearoom. After several previous attempts to get going with crochet I needed a refresher on the basics and a confidence boost. Unlike a group session, Ann could keep an eye on everything I did as I went along and was right there to assist when I was unsure. I would really recommend this to anyone interested in getting to grips with crochet."

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you Carolyn, for this lovely review. I am pleased that you found the workshop helpful as a refresher for the basics of crochet. I hope you are now able to enjoy your new found confidence in this craft."

Georgina reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"I spent a very lovely morning in the company of Ann a couple of months ago. I had never done any crocheting before and I am left handed, but after a couple of hours I felt like I was getting there! Ann is very patient and helpful, so if you want one to one tuition from an experienced teacher, in a nice cafe that serves tea and cakes, then Ann is definitely the person to go to!"

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you, Georgina, for taking the time to write your review about your crochet workshop in August. I'm pleased you found the workshop helpful - it can be challenging when you're left handed. I hope you've found a new skill and have managed to keep up with your crocheting. Kind regards, Ann"
