    Reviewed by Helene C. on 11/2/2018
    The teacher was 40 minutes late and when she finally walked in, she left again immediately and said she would be right back. That delay took another 15 or 20 minutes. She also had been in an accident and had use of only one hand and arm. Most importantly, it's impossible to learn knitting from 10, 15 or 20 feet away from a person who is trying to use her knees to hold her work together. If you can't see what's being done, you're lost. I didn't go back after the first class. There was no way it was going to get better. Helene Crohn

    It was good but could be frustrating for true beginners as the class included people with different levels. I would recommend that as a class we did one project together and individually pursued whatever we wanted. Overall did get basics.
