• 5/5 from Janine Abbott, attended Aug 2026: Wendy is s great knitting teacher and very patient!
• 5/5 from Janine Cann, attended Aug 2026: Loved the class. Wendy was so patient and helpful. No experience with knitting was required in order to do the class as Wendy does help each participant with step-by-step instructions. I went in not having knitted for over 45 years and walked away at the end of the class with a lovely, soft, lap blanket in my choice of colour that I made myself!!! Recommended.
• 5/5 from Ashlee McKenna, attended Jul 2026: This was a lovely introduction to knitting for a complete beginner. The class had a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, and everyone was friendly and supportive. I chose to make a small lap blanket and was able to finish it during the class, so I left with a completed project that I'm looking forward to using. It was an enjoyable afternoon and a great first step into knitting.
• 5/5 from Ashleigh Birch, attended Jul 2026: Wendy was incredible! Such a passionate and patient lady with a beautiful tranquil setting to teach amazing skills to learn to knit a gorgeous throw. Her wool and tools are hand sourced and it shows the passion she has for the craft. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
• 5/5 from Dianne Norris, attended Jul 2026: We really enjoyed our class with Wendy. She was a very patient teacher. The wool is so incredibly soft and the colours are stunning. Would definitely recommend to others.
• 5/5 from Chantal Parsons, attended Jul 2026: Really enjoyed this workshop. Wendy is a great teacher and you feel supported the whole time. With very very limited knitting experience I now feel I could make many blankets after this 3 hr workshop.
• 5/5 from Amy Hudson, attended Jul 2026: Wendy was the most patient, relaxed, helpful and accommodating teacher. Highly recommended!
• 5/5 from Suzi Anderson, attended Jul 2026: Lovely afternoon activity. Teacher was very patient and generous with her help and time. As i had no prior experience knitting i did find it very challenging. Wendy suggested a different technique which helped me overcome the difficulty and before the session was over i was confidently creating a beautiful blanket which i finished off at home. Yummy tea and cake too!
• 5/5 from Sandra Jefferies, attended Apr 2026: Great afternoon learning to knit in a small group. Wendy was a terrific teacher and host. Achieved a lot in a few hours. Would highly recommend.

• 5/5 from Heather Rowe, attended Mar 2025: Great workshop. Easy to pick up and I finished the medium sized rug in the evening. Wendy is very patient and explains the techniques clearly. Good fun afternoon.
• 5/5 from Madeleine Loh, attended Mar 2025: It was a cosy atmosphere with music playing in the background. There were four other attendees and Wendy provided 1:1 attention to each of us as we all had varying levels of experience. I had none and needed a little more guidance. Afternoon tea/coffee and blueberry yogurt cake was served as well. Wendy is an absolute hoot by letting us go over an hour extra. I left with a branded "It's Pretty Knotted" tote (big enough to hold the half made blanket and wool) along with the knitting sticks. The bonus is also being able to meet her cats for pats! They were the absolute sweetest. What a great way to end the day. Thank you so much, Wendy. I'll have to share my finished blanket later.
• 5/5 from Allison Bailey, attended Feb 2025: Very enjoyable 3 hours spent giant knitting. A pleasant location and a comfortable setting to relax and knit. You will be given the first 1kg of VERY nice fine merino wool along with well made smooth wooden tipped giant circular needles to keep. Depending on the size of the throw you wish to make you can also buy the remaining amount of wool needed in the one continuous ball in the class (or later). Wendy was a great teacher and I would recommend this class for both complete beginners and long-term knitters.
• 5/5 from Susan Persichitti, attended Nov 2024: We absolutely loved it. Wendy was awesome and so were her brownies. I love the merino wool we are using and cant wait to see the end product
• 5/5 from Georgina Jones, attended Aug 2024: What a fabulous way to spend an afternoon. Wendy is an excellent and informed teacher and mentor. If you are looking for an opportunity to learn to knit this is a great way to learn a new skill and meet interesting people. If you are an experienced knitter I highly recommend signing up to Wendy's class and meeting fellow enthusiasts. Her introduction to extreme knitting and her journey to find the perfect combination of needles and high quality yarn is fascinating - The result a stunning 100% Australian Merino - her verified supply chain has resulted in a high quality beautiful yarn, especially dyed and spun for her!
• 5/5 from Gemma Contos, attended Aug 2024: Wendy is an exemplary teacher and I give her 10 out of 10 fabulously gifted person and the cake was to die for Gemma contos

• 5/5 from Lorna Davin, attended Jul 2024: Teacher was fabulous. Very patient, supportive and knowledgeable. Materials were good. I’ve learnt to knit a medium sized rug with giant circular needles. The advertisement needs to be more transparent in the size of the rug and the cost of the wool needed. Thank you Wendy for being a fabulous host and teacher.

• 5/5 from Lydia Evans, attended Aug 2023: We had a fabulous afternoon with Wendy. She was super friendly and helpful, and ultra patient! Wendy didn't mind showing us things twice (OK, more like 12 times) and was full of encouragement. Her place is lovely, easy to get to and comfortable. The wool is an amazing quality, Wendy knows a lot about her equipment and suppliers. Definitely glad we did it!
• 5/5 from Jennifer Kwa, attended Aug 2023: A wonderful class to do with friends and you make a gorgeous giant throw as a keepsake. Wendy was very patient and great at explaining the stitches. She truly is passionate about her craft and where she sources her materials from. You are started with 1kg of 100% merino wool (it is so soft and chemical free), carry bag and custom giant knitting needles. Great for a self care activity for yourself! Highly recommended.
• 5/5 from Rebecca McGillivray, attended Jul 2023: A perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Wendy welcomed us into her lovely apartment and then handed over our materials. The wool was beautiful to work with and the bonus was getting to keep the chunky wood knitting needles. I finished my medium-sized blanket over three days using the tips Wendy showed us, in addition to her instructional pdf and some other YouTube videos. Special credit to Wendy for being a patient, calm teacher and a good conversationalist!

• 5/5 from Sarah Miller, attended Jun 2023: I'd never knitted before so was a bit worried if I would pick it up, but Wendy was very patient and took the time with each of us to show us what to do.

• 5/5 from Mala Naidoo, attended May 2023: Great experience, Wendy was a wonderful kind teacher. Very knowledgeable, experienced and encouraging. Nice small group and good venue.
• 5/5 from Katie McBrine, attended May 2023: Absolutely loved the knitting workshop with Wendy. Wendy is a great teacher and the environment was so relaxed, I felt comfortable from the minute I walked in. The other ladies were so lovely, and everyone’s throws looked brilliant. You will find it hard to find this quality in the shops, and being handmade by yourself is a massive bonus. I cannot wait to do another workshop with Wendy, hopefully to make a knitted bag (she had some made already and they looked amazing and unique). Wendy also provided a delicious homemade lemon cake and beautiful tea from China, the whole experience was presented so eloquently. Highly recommend.
