⭐️ Saturday Success - Feedback from one of our learners ⭐️

"I really enjoyed the 10 week crochet and hand embroidery course for beginners. I have always wanted to crochet. I have tried numerous times in the past and failed miserably.

Vicky our tutor is very skilled and taught us a lot in the 10 weeks. I struggled in the first 2 sessions and was considering giving up but I did not and persevered. I am so glad I did. The first five weeks was to learn the craft of crochet. I have learnt how to do granny squares, magic circles, single crochet stitch, double crochet stitch, half double crochet stitch, and treble crochet stitch. I crocheted some fingerless gloves.

The following five weeks I learnt how to embroider and embroidered my own design onto my gloves. I thoroughly enjoyed both the crochet and the hand embroidery and will definitely continue doing both.

My plan for the future is to expand my skill set and try Tunisian crochet and crochet myself a cardigan.

My tip is not to give up. Persevere and make sure you do lots of practice at home.

I managed to do some granny squares for a charity and make my mum a granny blanket for her knees as well.

I recommend anyone wanting to learn how to crochet and embroider. Should give this course a go. But persistence is the key to success."
