Really enjoyed the class! Learned a lot from watching the teacher and the students as well. Everything was explained very clearly and there was enough time to review steps as necessary. Hope to take more classes.

It was a great class. There were times, however, that I had trouble seeing her hands

The class was fantastic. Lisa was very patient. After one lesson I came away feeling like "I can crochet."

This class was so much FUN! Actually I was very limited in the supplies I was able to purchase for my bracelet due to the covid shipping issues & stores being closed. I still absolutely love my bracelet! Learning this technique was such a plus. The methodical way Lisa taught the class made it so easy to document. Lisa also supplied a video of the class afterward. I know I can make another bracelet easily now. How great is that?

Great instructor. Lisa was patient and used technology to her/our benefit via “two cameras”, and staying engaged. It was nice when other more advanced students joined 30 mins in. They bought inspiration, resourceful info and fun personalities to the mix.

There was two classes going on at one time. it was impossible to get the attention needed to actually learn. Not a good class for beginners.

Response from Lisa Barnes: Verified Educator

Thank you for your feedback. I offer classes in an overlapping format, in which beginners get their own class for the first half hour, then they overlap with the Open Knitting and Crochet class attended by more advanced students. I feel that it provides beginners an opportunity to see what they can aspire to make, and feel a part of the ongoing community of knitters who attend the Open class. I strive to provide as much personalized attention to each student as possible, which is sometimes less successful if it’s a larger class. I would be happy to offer a private lesson to anyone who feels that they didn’t get an equal amount of help as others in the class.
