Susie McCabe reviewed: Basic to advanced 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: Basic to advanced 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"

Stephanie Heath reviewed: Basic to advanced knitting workshops in Leeds City Centre

"What a fab way to spend the afternoon, transfixed with knitting and with the great company of Ann! I bought the course tickets for my husband who expressed an interest to learn to knit and Ann’s 2 hour session was the perfect amount of time to learn the basics and fill us with confidence to go away and conquer patterns. Thanks so much Ann for your time, patience and for sharing your amazing knitting knowledge :)"

Leeds Central Faith and Light responded:

"Hi Stephanie It was a pleasure to meet you and Guy at last! I am pleased you both enjoyed your Knitting Workshop and found it so useful. I hope you are managing to conquer your patterns and making some wonderful items. I did enjoy looking through the book of patterns you brought along with you. Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Kind regards Ann"

Not only did I learn the basics over a lovely cup of tea but we had a lot in common to chat about. I was given instructions to take home with me and would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. I really enjoyed the session."
