« More about this course organiser
I really enjoyed my session with Nicole. I was a complete beginner but Nicole was very patient while I tried to masters the basics. I look forward to going back for another session!
Nicole, was amazing, she really took her time to ensure that I had picked up the basic stitches. I had wanted to this for a long time and she has given me the confidence to start on my crochet journey. Im using this as a tool to help control some anxiety issues I am facing and I can say it really takes your mind off things.
Also being a man Nicole made me feel complete at ease. I am looking forward to progressing and hopefully make some items and feel more creative.
Thankyou Nicole

Thank you such a lovely review Richard. It was a pleasure to meet you and to teach you. You picked up crochet really well and I’m really pleased its helping with your anxiety.A great 2 hours well spent!
I am a complete beginner and Nicole was very understanding and patient with me.
It was slow going on my part but I achieved more than I expected during the session.
Since then I have enjoyed practicing and am getting a little quicker all the time.
Thank you Nicole

Hi Sue, it was lovely to meet you and your daughters. You all picked it up really well, I hope you all got on well with your crochet at home too. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.Spent a very relaxing 2 hours in Nicole's beautiful home learning to crochet with no stress. Am several days on now and have been practicing daily as she suggested and have remembered what to do each time. As previous reviewers have said, Nicole is definitely very clear in her instructions and help is given in such a lovely way. Looking forward to completing the beginners plus course with you Nicole in due course, and then I'll really be up and running. Would most definitely recommend Nicole if you're thinking about learning to crochet.
My Mum & I both beginners, had a lovely time learning to crochet with Nicole. She is such a good teacher, patiently guiding us through what we needed to do, explaining as we went. We both came away feeling confident that we could now crochet and ready to start a project. Thank you Nicole

Thank you Sue, it was lovely to meet you both. I’m so pleased you both enjoyed your lesson and came away feeling more confident.I attended one of Nicole’s beginner classes in 2019 which reignited my interest in crochet. Since then I have attended the crochet along classes and recently a Christmas class, all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have completed some lovely projects. Nicole is so helpful and I have met lovely like-minded people at these sessions. Really recommend.
I had a one to one session with Nicole at her lovely home. In the two hour class I learnt how to read a pattern and many stitches. Nicole is a very good teacher and I would love to go on to learn more at her sessions.
I went to a beginners class at Nicole's and found her very knowledgeable. I had very little experience in crochet and she was very patient with me as I struggled to pick it up! By the end of the two hours, I knew a couple of stitches and felt confident to do it on my own. It was inspiring to see the projects she had finished and what you could achieve. I definitely recommend a class with Nicole whatever the level.
Learning to crochet was on my bucket list, I had never picked up a crochet hook until I attended Nicole’s beginners class, and thanks to her I have found a new hobby I love. Without her calm patience I would have given up, instead, I have, over the course of about three years, progressed from making a rather scrappy wonky coaster to being confident enough create a range of increasingly challenging projects and intend to carry on crocheting as long as I can.
The atmosphere in her classes is always relaxed, everyone is friendly and I have met some lovely ladies. I always look forward to the lessons and drop in sessions.
Thanks again Nicole for your encouragement. !!Keep Crocheting!!
Nicole is a wonderful and patient teacher. After spending 2 hours with her, I am now confident enough to try so many more patterns. I left my lesson eager to get home and put into practice what I had learnt.
Nicole is so patient at teaching and her classes are lovely to attend.
It is lovely to meet with a small group of like minded ladies with free flowing tea and coffee!
I would not hesitate to recommend her classes to anyone.

Thank you Carrie. I hope your mum likes her shawl. I’ll look forward to seeing you in the new year! 😊Nicole was a very friendly, patient and gentle crochet teacher - making me feel at ease with my non existent crochet knowledge. She was very good at explaining things, demonstrating and then helping along the way, giving everyone one to one attention throughout the session. Nicole also offered her YouTube tutorials to follow up after, and suggested we message her with any queries, which I did. She corrected my stitches via pictures sent to her and I’m now on track for my first crocheted scarf in treble. I’m a happy bunny. Thanks Nicole.

Thank you Ashleigh, I can’t wait to see your scarf when it’s finished…the last pic I saw was fab! Was lovely to meet you. Hope to see you again soon 😊I really enjoyed my 1 to 1 crochet lesson with Nicole - I was a complete beginner and she explained the stitches etc very clearly. She was very patient and gave me time to correct my own mistakes which made learning faster :-) and she kept the tea flowing!

Thank you so much Lucy, It was lovely to meet you. You picked up crochet very well and I’m sure you’ll be making lots of beautiful items in no time. 😊Nicole was very welcoming and patient and I felt I learnt a lot on the first lesson, so much so that I can’t wait to carry on to the next stage.
A really good course, Nicole is very knowledgable and makes the course interesting and informative. At the same time the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly so you’re not afraid to ask her questions, I love the way she can explain the correct and simplest way to do something and help put you on the right track when things don’t seem to be working out quite right! You come away feeling you’ve accomplished something, as well as confident and ready to have a go all on your own 😊
I've never crocheted before but Nicole has explained the basics clearly and patiently and after a few lessons I now know a variety of techniques and stitches. The classes take place in Nicole's lovely conservatory around a large dining table with comfy seats. The hot drinks and biscuits are most welcome. The printed notes with step by step pictures are very useful to recap the lesson when back home and Nicole is happy to answer any questions if we get stuck finishing our project.
I had not crocheted for many years and could remember the basics but that was about it. Nicole is a fantastic teacher. Patience of a saint! There were about 8 of us, all needing help along the way. Nicole is very knowledgeable and gives you back your confidence and understanding about the stitches.
Nicole also sells a variety of wool too which is very helpful. This class is done in her home and there is a warm and friendly welcome of tea and biscuits 😃
I highly recommend her if like me you are in need of a brush up!
I had wanted to learn to crochet for sometime and had failed miserably trying to learn from books and videos. I saw this class and thought I would give it a go. Nicole was really welcoming making me feel relaxed and confident straight away. She was very patient and kind as well as being a great host. I learnt the basics and came away feeling that I can actually crochet. Since attending her class I have not stopped and have just completed my first baby blanket. I have also attended another class with Nicole and will be going to more. I think you could say I'm well and truly hooked! I cannot recommend highly enough.
Nicole is an excellent teacher and explains things really clearly. The mandala involves lots of different stitches so it takes a while but the pace is just right and Nicole gives lots of help and advice as we go along. A small group size means you get lots of individual attention. She also inspires us with the amazing crocheting she does herself! A really enjoyable way to spend a few hours and definitely worth the cost. Plus you get free tea and biscuits! Lovely!
