Sarah reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"Great course! Anne was very patient and a very nice person to chat with! We covered quite a lot of different stitches and the material she gave me to take home will be very useful. Thank you very much!"

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I enjoyed chatting to you, as well as being able to teach you a variety of techniques. Hope you have now found the inspiration to finish your blanket!!! Kind regards Ann"

Harriet reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"Absolutely amazing experience with Ann. I have tried and failed to knit so many times watching Youtube videos and tutorials and using books. I just never got it. Ann is so kind, patient, and encouraging! I really thought I might be unteachable! Ann taught me to cast on, knit, purl and cast off. She offered to teach me more but I settled on the basics as I could feel my brain trying really hard to retain this basic info! Ann showed me so many things she'd knitted and crocheted include teddy bears! One of my friends is pregnant and I am determined to knit a baby blanket and now thanks to Ann I can! Can't believe what a great opportunity this is and that the money goes to charity! I would recommend anyone who has tried and fail to knit to try this!"

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you for this great review. I hope you are able to complete your baby blanket. You were a pleasure to teach and thank you for letting me chat on! Kind regards Ann"

Vicky Loudon reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"I recently did a knitting class with Ann and I would 100% recommend it. We learnt how to cast on, knit, pearl and cast off. It was 2 hours and gave you plenty of one on one time to pick up the new skills. The money also goes to a great charity. It took place in the cutest little tearoom too. I will be booking in for crochet next time once I’ve mastered my knitting! Ann was really kind and patient with us. Thank you so much! 😊 "

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review. I'm glad you enjoyed your workshop. Hopefully you will now find the time to master your knitting. Kind regards Ann"

Yvette reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"I really enjoyed my time with Ann. The knitting session was held at a lovely cafe in the wonderful and well lit Grand Arcade next door to The Grand in Leeds. I had recently picked up knitting and I’d got into a muddle with a few things so I booked a session with Ann who immediately spotted where I was going wrong. I’m now onto a flying start. "

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"I'm so glad you enjoyed your session and found it useful. All you need now is practice!!! Keep up the good work. Kind regards Ann"

Maria Valero reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"Attempting to learn knitting through video guides is very confusing and hard to follow. Thank God for someone like Ann who was kind and patient in teaching me the basics of knitting. I had a great time and the tea shop has a very relaxing atmosphere. I would certainly look forward to another session as I tackle reading the knitting pattern that I am currently working on. "

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you, Maria, for your kind review. You were a pleasure to teach and I'm glad you found your workshop useful. Hopefully see you again. Kind regards Ann"

Susie McCabe reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"This workshop was a really lovely thing to do! I had fancied learning to knit for a while and definitely chose the best class to do. My friend and I had no previous experience. Ann was a great teacher! She was extremely patient with us and was so understanding when we didn’t get it right. Clearly lots of experience with beginners. I came away feeling confident that I could cast on and knit a basic square of decent knitting which was just the right start for me to go away and carry on practising. Ann gave us really helpful sheets of info to take away as a reminder of what to do. Would definitely recommend Ann’s class! Thank you Ann :)"

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review and your kind words. It was a pleasure to teach you both, as once you understood what was required, you picked things up very quickly. I hope you get great pleasure from your new found skill. Kind regards Ann"

Ruth reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"I had a lovely time from start to finish, Ann is really kind and very knowledgeable. This workshop was just what I needed, 1-2-1 tuition was really useful and much less daunting than a group. It meant I could ask any question and when I got stuck Ann was right there. I'm really grateful for Ann's time and happy to support a charity to. Also the setting of the cafe was excellent, who doesn't want coffee and cake while they learn a new skill! "

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Thank you for this lovely review. I hope you are enjoying your new found skill. You were very quick to pick up what you were being taught and I think we spent as much time chatting as we did knitting. I am pleased you liked the setting. Kind regards Ann"

"Spent a really interesting and educational morning with Ann recently, was amazing that it was a one to one session so was able to ask lots of questions and supervised practice. She was so knowledgable and encouraging, I would definitely recommend booking this course for beginners and more advanced knitters. Ann was lovely to talk to and a genuinely lovely person. "

"First time with this website, it was refreshing learning to crochet. It was amazing. I picked it up so quickly. I am so thankful as it is a most pleasurable hobby. Anne brought hand outs and showed us abbreviations which we used and helped us to get started. We had a 2 hour session and I am delighted. "

Marysia reviewed: Knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"From being a complete novice when it comes to knitting to being able to do the basics felt like a great achievement. Ann's tutelage was relaxed and informative. Our casual chatting as I attempted to master the technique was a lovely way to spend 2 hours. Highly recommended."

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Many thanks Marysia for your kind words. You were easy to teach as you picked everything up so quickly, leaving us time for chat in between! Hope you continue to enjoy your new hobby. Kind regards Ann"

"I really enjoyed my knitting course with Anne. I am a complete beginner and also left handed, Anne is a very kind and patient woman, I will definitely be booking another session when I am a bit more practiced. Thanks Anne."

"Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. I found teaching you very easy, despite you being left-handed and you picked things up very quickly. I look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards Ann"
