    Shivani was a great teacher and very patient. Personally I would rather have paid a bit more and foregone the free drink in order to have the class in a private room rather than in the middle of a busy pret a manger. I think it would be helpful to know that the class is in a cafe before you ve already paid.

    Shivani was a great tutor. She broke down the steps and translated the instructions in a way that made it accessible to me. Although I couldn't complete the project in the session, I did manage to complete it at home yesterday and got the confidence to start another project from a book I've had for years, with the predominantly same stitches as the amigurumi heart.
