I've just done a Knitting for beginners session with Jenny at the Knit Shack. It was great. Jenny has the patience of a saint. She made me feel relaxed and allowed me the confidence I needed to leave the session knowing how to knit! And the Knit Shack is gorgeous, a lovely little creative space in the middle of Wood Green. I highly recommend it! I'm already planning my new scarf for next winter!

I haven't knitted in a number of decades and to be honest when I did I never finished a project and wasn't a confident knitter. Jenny was so great at taking me through casting on, different stitches and interpreting patterns that I came away confident and enthused. Having a one to one session with her was a perfect way to learn and get my knitting mojo back. I can't recommend this class enough for someone who wants to learn, or remind themselves, how to knit.

I did a beginners knitting course with Jenny and absolutely loved it! I can’t believe how much I learnt in one lesson. I can now cast on, knit, pearl, increase, decrease, change colour and cast off! Needles and a choice of wool were provided. Jenny is so lovely, encouraging and patient. I now feel ready to start my first project. I highly recommend this course to everyone. Enjoy!

The bespoke knitting for beginners class was brilliant! Jenny was a fantastic teacher, explaining things really clearly and working at my pace, we fitted so much into the two hours I came away knowing a number of different techniques. I would recommend this class to anyone, I was a complete beginner having never knitted before!

We had an absolutely brilliant session with Jenny, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Jenny was very knowledgable and patient (especially when I struggled to make my first stitch!) - and very personable to boot. By the end we felt like we knew what we were doing and now have a brand new hobby! Would heartily recommend this class to anyone wanting to get knitting and those looking for a fun chance to try something new.
