What you’ll learn

Your tutorial is designed around your experience and what you want to achieve. You could:

  • Learn to knit or crochet from the beginning.
  • Refresh skills you learned years ago.
  • Build confidence with the basic techniques.
  • Learn how to read and follow patterns.
  • Get help with a project you’re struggling with.
  • Learn new techniques to expand your skills.

If you bring a project you’re stuck on, Nicki will help you understand the techniques you need so you can continue independently.

What to expect from your tutorials

Each session includes:

  • Clear demonstrations of techniques.
  • Step-by-step guidance while you practise.
  • Plenty of time to ask questions.
  • A bespoke tutorial designed specifically for you.
  • Written instructions to take home where helpful.

You’ll leave with the confidence to continue practising your new skills or progressing with your project at home.
