Reviews from Another Lesson Platform
I have learned so much in only three lessons with Bonnie! We have looked at questions I had in knitting as well as crochet. Bonnie explains everything so clearly and I am so pleased that I am ready to start several new projects now. It is really helpful to review my patterns with Bonnie before I begin working them. I highly recommend lessons in knitting and crochet with Bonnie!!!
Bonnie is very patient and supports all of her students whatever level they are at. She is incredibly knowledgeable about knitting. I would highly recommend her class.
Working with Bonnie gave me the confidence to take my knitting to the next level. Instead of only making scarves and blankets I am now making sweaters! She is patient, kind and very knowledgeable. I will continue to work with Bonnie to improve my skills.
Fantastic lesson! I learned so much today in my first lesson with Bonnie. Looking forward to next week’s lesson.
Excellent first lesson. I have never picked up a crochet hook and I was able to learn the first basic stitch within an hour. I highly recommend Bonnie.
Bonnie has been extremely helpful in me learning how to knit as a beginner. I have only had two lessons I am am already practicing and planning how to make a beautiful blanket for my little one. Would highly recommend Bonnie for her patience and knowledge.
My daughter has expressed interest in learning how to knit and crochet. After having challenges finding an in-person class in our area, we finally decided to try an online option. However, my daughter learned more self-taught on youtube than her online instructor. I came across Bonnie's site on this website and she has learned more in the few lessons with Ms. Bonnie than ever before. She looks forward to her lessons every week and is more encouraged to keep learning and growing in the skill than ever before. We absolutely love Bonnie's style of teaching, her patience, feedback, recommendations, videos that offers additional learning opportunities, etc. She is hands-down the best instructor and I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning the art of Crocheting.
Very helpful and patient
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. She was informative and engaging. I would recommend her as a teacher to any one. she answered any questions I had and was encouraging of my efforts. Way to go! Thanks great class!!
Just had my 3rd lesson with Bonnie. I am working on a stitch sampler afghan and Bonnie has been very helpful with explaining how to work on a new stitch. Her patience is outstanding. When i wasn't getting a stitch lined up she explained to me how the stitches went through a drawing that just immediately made sense to me. I will buy more lessons with Bonnie when I run into another stitch that is not coming along. Bonnie is excellent. Her biggest virtue is her patience. When a stitch was calling for a yarn over before the stitch, I heard Bonnie's patient voice long after the lesson was over. Catherine
Bonnie was a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. She didn't go too quickly but made sure we repeated things and that I got the hang of things before moving on. She was very clear in her explanations and I feel confident that I can continue with my project.
Bonnie was so very patient! She is an excellent teacher who takes her time when you're struggling. WONDERFUL!
Bonnie was amazing, knowledgeable and so very patient. She was able to quickly identify the challenge I was having with a current project and got me on the right track. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her!
Bonnie was awesome! As I needed, she would go step by step over and over without pressure and with patience. I actually was able to learn 2 moves today, making the chain and holding the tension, in a 45 minute class! I will be back to continue lessons.
Bonnie is very knowledgeable and helpful in helping me with understanding the fundamentals of crochet. She is patient and very skilled.
Bonnie was patient and adapted the lesson to fit my needs. I recommend her highly.
Very patient and knowledgeable.
Bonnie is an excellent knitting instructor. She is very patient and astute. She pays close attention to her student’s work during the lesson and she is very knowledgeable about the knitting she teaches. She really wants to give her students a rewarding and complimentary experience making something Nice or useful. I highly recommend taking knitting lessons with Bonnie.
Bonnie, taught me how to knit In a matter of minutes. I was a bit hesitant of taking an online course when it came to knitting however she is very tech savvy and placed the camera in a perfect position. I was able to see her and at the same time see where her hands were on the needles when she was teaching me how to knit. She is. very skillful teacher, calm and also very kind. If you have ever wanted to learn how to knit book a class with her and you will surely learn.
Bonnie is a very nice teacher, and she has really good experience to teach how to knit. she always can find a easy way to let me know how to do it.
Bonnie is the real deal. She's the BEST KNITTING TEACHER I've ever had - and I've had quite a few - because she actually knows how to teach! I set up a Zoom appointment so she could help me with a project I started in a local class. She instantly identified an error in the pattern that saved me hours of frustration. She then showed me how to do three new stitches using her Zoom camera and patiently watched me create them to make sure I understood. Most importantly, she's the first teacher to explain how to read and analyze a pattern while showing me her process so I can do it myself next time. That knowledge alone was priceless. She then showed me how to write out the next steps of the pattern - including showing me how she did the math to calculate the stitch decreases. But, I'm most excited about the fact that she also drew a PICTURE that demonstrated what the pattern was saying to do. She did this naturally - that's just her teaching style. I have to say, it's eye-opening. I feel like I just learned in one hour with Bonnie what would've taken me years to pick up bit by bit with other teachers I've had or family and friends.
Bonnie explained and demonstrated the knitting steps one by one several times. She is a slow and soft-speaking, patient instructor. Though knitting is difficult for a true beginner, I met the goal of five stitches and liked the class!
Bonnie has been wonderful....guiding me, teaching me. The online sessions are almost like she is there in the room with me! Very knowledgeable and experienced both with knitting and also zooming! I am grateful!
Really nice class, time flies. Can't wait to learn more with Bonnie.
I started out very slow, but caught on to knitting/casting on and Bonnie was helpful and patient with me.
very knowledgeable and helpful! Explained directions wherein I was able to undersatnd!
Bonnie really knows her stuff. Reading patterns is hard for a first timer and she goes through the patterns well. She does well teaching online and makes it easy to follow.
Bonnie is a great resource for knitting help! She's knowledgeable and patient. We did have a few tech issues, but she gave me extra time, which was above and beyond, since the issues mostly were from my end. I do have to say though, that a zoom lesson doesn't compare to being together in person, but it's still a good option when that isn't available.
Bonnie is very nice and made me feel comfortable on my first lesson with her. So glad I came across these private lessons online!
Bonnie was terrific. She is patient, knowledgeable, effective, efficient and creative. She is an excellent problem solver and can figure out any level of pattern complexity.
Bonnie is an outstanding instructor with over 35 years of experience of knitting. She is certified and has the expertise to be able to teach from beginner to experienced students. I totally recommend her!
Rated this class 5 stars.
