Bee reviewed: Lino Cuts, Fabric Printing and Stitch - Ilkley

"A lovely venue.... Course was well prepared and all equipment provided. Tutor very friendly and knowledgeable. Only downside was the only sink available was in the loo...so made it unusable while cleaning going on.... Would recommend."

Louise J reviewed: Christmas Sock Knitting Workshop with West Yorkshire Spinners’ Xmas Special Yarns - York

"As a knitter who has not ventured into complex projects, the in person course has given me the confidence to knit socks on four needles, with the dexterity and shaping - thinking in three dimensions - that requires. The teacher was able to address the problems we all encountered, not having done this before, offering advice and encouragement. I don't think you can get this from on line teaching. "

Duttons for Buttons responded:

"Hi Louise, so pleased you enjoyed the workshop and as a result have got to grips with the complexities of four needle knitting - an achievement to be truly proud of! Look out for more from Judith in 2024 when she plans to teach brioche, fair isle & cable knitting as well as sock knitting. Best wishes, Duttons for Buttons"
