  • The instructor was excellent. Her teaching method made it easy to learn to knit. Her descriptions of how to apply the needle and yarn were funny and useful and allowed you to fully understand exactly what to do. She gave personal attention to everyone who needed it. She was engaging and delightful.
  • Lori was terrific. She was patient and a great teacher. I learned a lot and had so much fun. I highly recommend Lori at the Crafty Lounge!
  • Personalized attention. I was able to learn a new method of casting on and improve my novice skill set. Thanks!
  • Very clean, nicely run place with a cute dog!!! Made a good looking, warm scarf and learned a lot. Recommend !
  • The class was wonderful! Nice atmosphere and Lori was such a great instructor, will definitely take more classes in the future.
  • This was a great class. Lovely location. Laurie was super welcoming, helpful and patient. Would definitely go back.
  • The instructors were patient, knowledgeable and helpful. It was fun, look forward to going back!
  • The instructor was incredibly patient and explained everything in a way that made learning easy and fun. The class covered all the basics, from casting on to creating different stitches, and I was able to make a small project by the end. The atmosphere was welcoming, and I loved meeting others who shared the same interest. It was a relaxing and creative experience, and I can't wait to take more classes. Highly recommend for anyone looking to pick up knitting.
  • It was excellent the teacher was great
  • This class was really nice. The instructor was hands-on and had really high energy. I didn't realize I had to buy materials, so just plan to purchase materials in addition to the cost of the class!
  • Exactly what I was looking for! A great class to learn knitting basics. The instructor was so helpful and patient. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to learn how to knit, it’s much easier than trying to learn online.
  • Such a lovely teacher and the class was great! I adored the scarf at the end too! Can't wait to make myself another one soon!
  • Arm knitting was so much fun! I thought I'd be nervous and lost, coming in without muck knitting experience, but the instructor made the whole experience comfortable and easy to follow. I loved that I was able to make something I could take home with me and wear, then take it apart and make something new again with the yarn from class as practice. I was excited to meet new people after such a long hiatus from social activities and learn a new skill in the afternoon. Would be thrilled to take more classes at this location.
  • I had a finished product in two hours!
  • Loved this class! The sweater pattern is really cute and the instructor was great.
  • I did arm knitting course today with Amelia and she was fantastic! She was friendly, helpful and welcoming and repeated everything several times so could learn. She helped us too along way with helping with issues that popped up.
  • Very knowledgeable, positive & helpful.
  • Great class ! Amelia was great and it was so easy to learn. Looking for more classes from Brooklyn Craft .
  • Great intro and very helpful instructions with good use of camera angles. Would highly recommend it!
  • The class was fantastic. Lisa was very patient. After one lesson I came away feeling like "I can crochet."
  • Great class!
  • Great instructor. Lisa was patient and used technology to her/our benefit via “two cameras”, and staying engaged. It was nice when other more advanced students joined 30 mins in. They bought inspiration, resourceful info and fun personalities to the mix.
  • Lisa is Awesome!!! I'm hooked and I'd recommend her as a first step into knitting... It won't be my last class with her!
  • Really enjoyed the class! Lisa was great!
  • Enjoyed the class, teacher friendly & very, knowledgeable.
  • Great class!
  • Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop

    Due to Coronavirus, Justine was limited to teaching just me and my girlfriend. She was extremely friendly and we enjoyed casually talking with her, while making our beautiful blankets. Highly recommend this class, and this instructor -- it's really good value!
  • Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop

    Awesome
  • Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop

    The teacher is very patient in showing me how to knit the chunky yarn into a blanket. The class is overcrowded. There really should be 2 students instead of 4 people per table. It was difficult to share the space without interruptions and distractions when the person sitting next to you had their arms in your working space hovering over your blanket and you had to wait for her to finish before you could continue working on your blanket. I give it 5 stars for the professionalism of the staff and the clean area.
  • Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop

    I signed up for this class with 3 other friends to celebrate our friends birthday and we had a blast. Everyone’s blanket turned out beautiful. You learn 4 different knots to produce a super soft blanket over 2-3 hours. We had a mix of serious crafters and novices and everyone was equal parts engaged and relaxed in their project. The only thing that could have been better was a bit more space to work- the blankets get pretty long and can start to droop off the table. That said, I would (and have) recommend this class for groups of friends, coworkers or family to take as it’s something interactive and social.
  • Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop

    Easy instruction, friendly staff- overall good experience.
  • Chunky Knit Blanket & Wine Workshop

  • Knitting 1

    I truly enjoyed the class yesterday, I haven't knitted in years & little by little it came back to me. Darren my instructor was very patient & made me feel quite comfortable, looking forward to showing him my 1st project & looking forward to Knitting 2
  • Knitting 1

    Great patient instructor, a reasonable amount of time to go from knowing nothing to making something that resembles a scarf :)
  • 2 @ a Time, Magic Loop, Toe Up Sock Workshop

    Learned so much in such a short period of time! Geraldine was a great teacher, and very thorough.

  • Knitting 1

    Had a great time.
  • What a blast. Paige, the instructor, was so much fun to work with. I loved the group of people in the class. We all shared information and helped each other. What a great way to spend my Saturday morning.
  • So happy to take this class. Beautiful space and friendly instructor. Had a lovely afternoon meeting new people and creating a blanket. Came home with a beautiful finished piece.
  • Really fun , great class
  • Knitting 2

    Darrin is a great teacher - knowledgeable, very enthusiastic and encouraging. There were only 5 people in the class so he gave us plenty of individual attention. I'm slow to pick up new knitting skills but Darrin is very good at making you want to learn and not feel like a complete idiot. Lion Brand is a wonderful shop so the atmosphere is very pleasant. I'm going back for another class as soon as I master the skills I just learned.
  • Knitting 1

    Although I was a little more advanced than a true beginner, I loved this Knitting 1 class. I was able to work with the shop to switch my scheduled class day and ended up taking a later class with Edita. She was fabulous! So patient and kind with a levels of abilities. I am absolutely going to sign up for another class with her!
