    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.

    The instructor was great, and I love Brooklyn Craft Co. I only wish the class size had been a little smaller, or perhaps there had been a second instructor or assistant, to minimize the time spent waiting for someone to check on how we were doing and answer questions. But I would still recommend the class anyway!

    The teacher was not able to teach me. She might have been good for the other students, but for me it did not work. I am a visual learner and somewhat slow at that. She helped me about four times with the first steps, but it was a speedy Gonzales type of help. After one hour I decided to leave the class. It became obvious that I would go nowhere with the instructor. I came home, went to YouTube and learned the steps to knit. I really did not want to waste my time nor the instructor’s. Some people have no patience if you are not a quick learner and to make matters worse flying thru with the instructions does not help.

    I had such a great time in their beginner knitting class. The teacher Amelia was encouraging and really patient with each and everyone of us. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn a new craft. I left the class with a new skill and eager to come back for more classes.

    Sarah was a great instructor, and Brooklym Craft Company seemed like a great space that hosts interesting classes- would definitely seek out both the instructor and the host again!

Can you bring your own materials if you have them at home? Or must you purchase in class?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Mariam! Yes, students can bring their own materials. If they want to make the project that the other students will work on in class, they will need to bring chunky yarn and size 10.5 needles. Hope this helps!
