It was great I learned the basics of knitting, which is what I signed up for! I can now cast on knit and pearl. I’m ready for the next class.
I’ve been knitting for a long time but wanted to learn to crochet. Cynthia was a great teacher and adjusted things to go at the pace we needed. It was helpful to have a limited class size so she could watch what we were doing closely and correct errors or go over things again if they were giving us trouble. I’d recommend this to anyone else looking for a beginner crochet class and I plan to take more Unwind classes.
I just completed the Lento Sweater Class with Carrie. First, she is a wonderful, engaging, and compassionate teacher. She gave us so much individual attention, met us during off-hours, responded to texts, and made sure each participant loved the end product as well as the process along the way. Carrie's knowledge of technique, yarns, tips, tricks, etc., was so far reaching. I will DEFINITELY take another class from Carrie! Thank you for your time and talent!
She gave us lots of information and explanation. Thanks. I could really use a continuing experience with practice and help. Unfortunately, I cannot do much until the middle of July, but hope to come by some after that. Is it possible to have a day or days and times to share learning/practicing. Let me know.
Class was great I would have liked 1-2 additional classes.
