Question 1

I would like to attend your course but I am not able to make all the classes.

Accepted Answer

You can still get a lot out of the course, even if you have to skip some of the weeks, however,  Week 1 & Week 2 are mandatory. It’s very difficult for me to re-teach a whole missed class for one student and then fit in the content for the scheduled class. I have tried to do this in the past and end

Question 2

Why is the course 4 weeks long?

Accepted Answer

Many one-off classes are only a couple of hours long, promising to teach you to crochet. My immersive courses allow you to go home and practice what you’ve learnt in class & come back the following week for help with anything you’re unsure of. This allows muscle memory to build over the weeks

Question 3

I do not need the starter kit as I have my own yarn and hooks.

Accepted Answer

After many years of teaching crochet, I have found that the hooks & yarn 
make a massive difference to how easily the student picks up the technique & how much they enjoy the experience. Unsuitable equipment invariably ends up frustrating the student, therefore I include all the materials

Question 4

I am a knitter. I’d like to crochet but I’m worried I won’t be able to.

Accepted Answer

Yes, I have come across this concern many times. There still seems to be a misconception that you either knit or crochet… of course you can do both! Often those with previous experience of knitting or other types of handicrafts can find picking up a new skill relatively easy.

Question 5

I use a wheelchair, is there wheelchair access to the studio?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a ramp into the studio. Please get in touch when you book and I will double check with the staff at the Riverhouse that everything is set up correctly for you.

Question 6

The dates of this course don’t suit me, will you be running another course and if so, when?

Accepted Answer

I usually run my beginners classes several times a year. Please follow me or sign up to my newsletter via my website to be notified of new courses.
