Great class!! Quay was very clear, patient and friendly teacher. The second screen for the knitting made it easy to follow what I was meant to be doing. I feel I understand the basics and can now start practicing.

Quay is very good at putting at ease and explaining everything! She make everything looks easy! Also lovely to chat with and relatable. I will be coming back especially now that social contact is limited : )

It was a good class today and I learnt how to sew loose sewing ends of my knitting work. Quay also showed me how to do mattress stitch & during our session I’ve started sewing up the knitted sausage dog legs. It’s been a brilliant knitting journey & I can’t believe I’ve got to this stage :)

It was brilliant & I really enjoyed Knitting For Beginners class. I am improving my knitting skills so much plus I’m constantly learning all the time. Quay showed me how to undo knitting stitch & how to increase on a ‘purl’. What’s been really helpful is Quay demonstrates along with me & always happy to show me again when I get in a muddle.
Abigail - 1 August 2020
I loved my recent class with Quay. I learnt a new technique - Wrap & Turn method. As always Quay did an excellent demonstration. Honesty I wouldn’t been able to do this on my own without Quay’s help.
Abigail - 27 July 2020
I really enjoyed today’s session. Quay has been super patience with me as I get muddled understanding the knitting language. Thanks to Quay’s patience & clear demonstration the knitted sausage dog is slowly coming together nicely :)
Abigail - 24 July 2020
It was really good & I thoroughly enjoyed it. Quay helped me with my knitting casualty & now I’m back on track with my knitting project. Quay was very patience helping me understand how to increase purl stitch. I’m learning so much in these sessions!
Abigail - 4 July 2020
I feel really chuffed with today’s lesson. I didn’t make a mistake or drop any stitches. My knitting techniques has really improved over the last few weeks thanks to Quay. The session went so quickly and I’m making super progress with the knitted sausage dog kit. It’s really great having Quay supporting & encouraging you...and I’m constantly learning loads! Honestly I wouldn’t get this far with my knitting if it wasn’t for Quay’s excellent class
Abigail - 27 June 2020
I felt I made very good progress in today’s session. With Quay tips & technique advice my knitting skills is really improving. Also I feel confident asking Quay to remind me how to do certain knitting techniques like ‘cast off’ or adding a new wool colour. Quay is always happy to demonstrate.
Abigail - 20 June 2020
I am really enjoying KNITTING FOR BEGINNERS I feel my knitting skills are improving. During the class I got myself stuck & I really wanted to give up. But thanks to Quay’s patience, encouragement & solving knitting dilemmas she was able to help me untangle my knit stitches.
Abigail - 15 June 2020
I am really getting into the swings with knitting. I was a total newbie three weeks ago & now I have the knitting bug. It was really good to have my tutor Quay guide me & introduce new techniques at my own pace. I feel my confidence & my Knitting technique is growing thanks to Quay. My sausage dog is slowly coming together!
Abigail - 6 June 2020
This was my second class with knitting tutor Quay & it was just as brilliant as the first. Thanks to Quay’s patience & clear demonstration I have really perfected my technique. Quay also encouraged me to start on a knitting kit I had & she helped me understand the knitting language/jargon!. I am really chuffed with myself :)
Abigail - 29 May 2020
I really enjoyed Knitting For Beginners class. I thought Quay was such a good teacher. She was very patient with me & she did great demonstrations which helped me understand the different knitting techniques. I also learnt from Quay how to improve my knitting tension & watching out when to knit or purl. It was nice having her as my guidance & She helped me become my confident in knitting. After today’s session I defo got the knitting bug & want to practise more!

Quay made the class enjoyable and was very patient (i am a complete beginner!). Quay made it easy to follow and i found the videos she provided an added bonus as i am a slow learner. I would highly recommend knitting for beginners.
Gemma - 16 May 2020
This was a really great class. Great set up of cameras. We could really see the all the details. Quay is a great teacher and balanced all skill levels really well.

I really enjoyed my beginner's class with Quay. Quay's teaching style is very clear and she is very patient, not leaving anyone behind. I haven't knitted in years and found myself knitting several rows quite quickly, as well as learning to cast on and off, Purl stitch, stocking stitch and rib stitch. I can't wait to keep going! It was easy to follow Quay's hand movements in a separate window whilst being able to talk and feed back on progress. Thanks so much!
