Course testimonials
-
Katrina said: It was good to be able to work on projects and ask any crochet questions that came to mind that would help with the project or just crocheting in general. It was also good to learn the reasons why problems with projects might have occurred for me in the past. The teacher, Payal, was lovely.
-
Lyn said: Payal is extremely knowledgeable in this craft and happy to share her knowledge and experience. She is very patient and helpful. I have found this course to be very enjoyable and I am glad that I came across a course run by Payal instead of something I might have found elsewhere.
