The key to success is not what you do in class only, but what you do outside of class. As we're here to support you through the first blocks, if you don't hit them we can work through them with you. So practice and trying is key, the more problems you hit while your in your course, the more we can break it down and give you the best during your course.

You will also have our fiddlesticks illustrated manual, with 3 styles of patterns and instructions. That will help you traverse the pattern world with ease.
We can't guarantee your outcome, but we will give you everything we can in order for you to pursue this journey. The key aspect is to keep practicing whether its 5 minutes or 10 minutes. Don't just wait for your class... finding those small bits of time will make all the difference in muscle memory and your physical memory. You will also hit issues that you can then ask about in your class time.. so you're never alone facing a crochet problem.
Crochet is mediative, rhythmic and repetitive. Once you know those basic stitches and have a understanding of their anatomy. You will find stitch placement and stitch building simple.
We have kits available. Along with varying hooks at different costs. However, we are seeing great results from our handmade hooks. These can be tried and tested in class and if you prefer we can make them for you, if you feel more confident with them.
You may think your the one who can't crochet. Everyone who has every taught you, said it was hopeless. I can prove to you that's not true. I've taught many with varying issues and abilities that should have stopped them. Yet, despite this, they are making all kinds of things you would even imagine.
