Absolute Beginning Knitting
Instructor (Barbara) was very helpful and patient! -
Absolute Beginning Knitting
Well... the actual learning how to knit part of the class was good. However, there were some obstacles to getting to that part. We were told we had to purchase materials for the class at the shop.. but when we arrived they only had one color of yarn available and let's just say I could tell why it was the only one left. So I am not too excited about my finished project. Also, they were not expecting me. I signed up over a week before and somehow too many students were booked for the class. Also it was quite warm in the studio. For someone who is always cold, I broke a sweat knitting. -

Barbara was the instructor! I got a great first class at the Yard School! Barbara has a great friendly, outgoing, encouraging approach to teach beginners like my fellow classmate and someone who is more advance, like myself. I was not bored at any moment, I was not waiting for her. She allowed time for me to try what I just learned and came back in to review my work. Thank you Barbara! you are an amazing lady. -
Absolute Beginning Knitting
Class was larger than teacher expected, so she had less time to give each individual student. Most displeasing - we were required to buy yarn and needles from the store. However, the weight of yarn needed for the project only bright yellow was available for purchase. Both me and friend had to purchase a different weight of yarn - to make the project work because we could not bare paying $30 for a terrible yellow color. -

What a great place! Kind, patient instructors and so much yarn to chose from. I've been a knitting machine since I left (and by machine I mean I'm slowly chipping away at my first piece). Can't wait to go back and learn more! -
