What a thoroughly lovely way to spend a couple of hours. Sophie is a great tutor
What a great night on board a beautiful canal boat learning how to make a fantastic festive wreath! Sophie explained the process and then allowed us to crack on with our own designs, offering guidance where needed. I would definitely do another of her workshops!
Response from Forest and Dot:
Thank you Sammy much appreciated! It was great to have you onboard!What an amazing time... a warm September evening spent with the wonderful Sophie on her boat. We’d booked a private workshop to learn how to arm knit a chunky throw. Sophie is incredibly patient and none of us could believe we’d arm knitted our gorgeous throws in just under 2 hours! We’ve learnt a skill for life (just ordered yarn to make another!). Thank you Sophie... we had the best time ever.
I had a lovely afternoon in a super location, which made it feel very special as the course was a present.
Sophie helped everyone, from beginners to others who were more experienced.
I hope to come back for another course in the future.
Brilliant course with Sophie. Enjoyed every minute of it and she was very patient with us. What a lovely way to spend a Friday morning! Definitely recommend. Thanks Sophie
Great workshop in a really lovely and unusual location! The group was small, which was perfect as it meant everyone was able to go at their own pace and Sophie, the tutor, was able to spend lots of time with everyone individually, to make sure they knew what they were doing. Really enjoyable, would definitely recommend.
I absolutely loved this class. We had a great time chatting and crafting and I came away with a beautiful knitted throw.
Her instructions were super easy to follow and the throw was so enjoyable to make.
Great atmosphere, great people, great evening!
I came to this course with a friend as it was a really good evening. I love the blanket I made and Sophie was very good at teaching me as I had never knitted before. I love the boat it is so cute and cozy and I would love to do another course with Sophie again <3

Thank you Elodie for a lovely review!Such a fun evening. Total relaxation on board while producing a gorgeous blanket that makes you want to snuggle! Sophie is a great teacher and arm knitting is easy to pick up.
I attended this course with a friend last week. It was a very relaxing evening in a beautiful setting. We had a lovely evening chatting and knitting, and under Sophie's guidance we both left with a wonderful completed throw. Highly recommended! I'd never done any knitting before and had no problems :)
Attended this course earlier this year....was a lovely evening and I left with a gorgeous knitted throw thanks to the guidance of Sophie. I can highly recommend, even if you are a knitting novice like me!
