"I attended Georgie's crochet for beginners workshop on Saturday 25th March 2024. I'd been looking around for a beginner's crochet workshop and have done a different workshop with Craft Courses before. The location wasn't too far from me, price was reasonable as it included wool and hook to take home and I liked the idea of a 2 hour workshop as I find I tend to lose concentration if it's any longer.
There were 4 other ladies attending and it was a very friendly atmosphere. The course was held in a room above commercial premises in the heart of Silsden.
Communications with Georgie before the workshop were very good, as I needed to ask about parking as I'm not from that local area.
Georgie offered us all coffee or tea at the beginning which was a nice thing to do and there was a jar of biscuits on the table if required. We then started by learning about different wools and crochet hooks and how these can influence what you might make. I found this information very useful.
We then progressed onto making the first chain and later on how to make a double chain. We were all given a useful handout which explained what we were doing with diagrams and also explained comparisons with UK & US terminology for crochet.
Georgie is a very warm, friendly and exceptionally helpful teacher and has loads of patience which was great as most of seemed to be all fingers and thumbs to begin with which made us all laugh. But she encouraged perseverance and we all seemed to get the hang of those basic steps by the end of the workshop.
I would recommend this workshop to anyone looking to learn how to crochet.
Georgie clearly loves crochet and is very giving of her time, skills and knowledge. "
