• 5/5 from Maria Turner, attended Nov 2026: I am DEFINITELY going to retake this class again! Instructor friendly and PATIENT!!! She even taught a hack for a quick fix when my yarn fell out of a loop on a row that I already did! Started class at 2, finished class at 3, had a blanket by 9pm that night (including taking breaks)!!! Not bad for my first blanket in YEARS!
• 5/5 from Emily Crego, attended Jun 2026: Cara was so fun and patient with us. Her instructions were clear and we had a great time!
• 5/5 from Brandi Burke, attended May 2026: Thorough explanation of the class, detailed, slowed down and backed up when needed. We had a great time, awesome family night.
• 5/5 from Amy Campbell, attended Feb 2026: Cara was an amazing teacher! She was engaging, fun, easy to follow - and always willing to go back and explain again! My daughter and I had a great time in her class. We were able to complete our chunky blankets after the class and we love them.
• 5/5 from Kellee Turner, attended Jan 2026: Cara explained everything so very wee land really took her time. I'm looking forward to giving my daughter a chunky knitted blanket for her birthday. Thank you Cara!
• 5/5 from Marco Wood, attended Dec 2025: I have requested this class several times and it never disappoints! Cara is AWESOME! Cara is very professional and will do whatever it takes to make sure everyone in the class has a good understanding of how to do the project. If you ever want a class that is easy to learn, and the end result is a functional product then this class is it. All the kits arrived complete and on time for the class. Cara even took the time to reship a kit that went missing. Just amazing!
• 5/5 from Theresa Kasel, attended Nov 2025: Loved the detailed instruction and the repetitive demonstration for more challenging techniques. Loved the overhead camera view which allowed us to see a detailed view of what the instructor was doing. Very friendly, great project and a fun day! So happy to have completed the full project from start to finish in the same day!
• 5/5 from Lisa Pelletier, attended Oct 2025: Cara was great with my group!! I think a little more time would help people feel like they accomplished more though.
• 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended May 2025: the virtual DIY Chunky Knit Blanket was quite enjoyable. Cara, the instructor, was very nice and personable. Cara began the virtual session with an brief explanation on hand knitting using chunky yarn and of how the session would progress. After which she demonstrated visually how to begin the first row with a slip knot, with the opening about two fingers wide. After the creation of the slip, Cara proceeded to demostrate on how to create a loop of yarn and then to repeat the creation of loops for the first row of about twenty-six (26) tight loops. At the twenty-sixth, she then demonstrated on how to create a second row. In my particular case, since I was using skeins; what the roll of yarn is called; of two different colors, Cara demonstrated on how to change colors and then proceed with the rows. Cara then instructed me to repeat the steps until I was the end of the skeind and then demonstrated on how to end/close the hand knitting. Cara was also very kind, in that when the allotted time had expired, she remained on to demonstrate on how to end/close the blanket. I would most certainly take another of Cara's virtual classes and would definitely recommend anyone in learning on how to know using chunky yarn and their fingers to take on of her sesssions.

• 3/5 from Melanie Shaw, attended Dec 2024: The class was shortened due to a lack of communication between the organizer and the teacher. The camera was beyond poor and could barely see what was being conducted, would recommend investing in better cameras to teach and instruct. Otherwise, it was nice, my team enjoyed it as it was a new experience for all of us!
• 5/5 from Allison Law, attended Nov 2024: This was such a great intro to hand knitting! We loved it! The teacher & instructions were wonderful! Would totally recommend this to other teams who need a quick break from work!

• 5/5 from Karishma Parikh, attended Mar 2024: Cara was very clear and answered any and all questions that we had (which honestly weren't many because she was very clear). I definitely would be happy to keep this course/business in mind for future events!
• 5/5 from Alexandra Hart, attended Mar 2024: This was a great class! We had a small virtual group as a team bonding event and Cara was wonderful. She went through the steps several times, paused to make sure everyone was on the same step and had a great attitude! Would definitely take another class with her again!
• 5/5 from Tamara Khalaf, attended Jan 2024: My friend and I signed up for the chunky blanket class as part of a birthday gift and we had SUCH a wonderful time! Cara is an incredible teacher -- very patient, kind, and fun. You do not need any prior knitting / crocheting experience and the knitting with your fingers is not only fun, but it goes very quickly. By the end of the class, we were already about 1/4 completed with our blankets and we sat and finished them within about an hour and a half. I highly recommend this class for solo folks interested in learning a fun new craft, friends looking for a fun afternoon, or large groups. It was such an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon!
• 5/5 from Christine Kingsley, attended Dec 2023: Cara is a lovely teacher! She was patient with our small group and constantly asked if we needed help. Cara shared other items she made and even showed us an "advanced" knitting style for added fun! The craft kit came in time even during the holiday season.
• 5/5 from Grier Colwell, attended Dec 2023: Instructor was fabulous. Kept things moving but gave great instruction and was upbeat and fun! We loved it!
• 5/5 from Emily Goldberg, attended Dec 2023: Lauren was great! She took the time to make sure our team knew what they were supposed to be doing and helped everyone out if they got stuck
• 5/5 from Karen Dieringer, attended Dec 2023: Cara was great! She gave very thorough instructions! It was not hard at all and I can see myself making many blankets in the future! I will note (which is not an issue at all), but some people thought you would complete an entire blanket in the hour class. You can’t finish but it gives everyone a fun project to do after the call ends! I loved it and can’t wait to finish my blanket!
• 5/5 from Jacqueline Chu, attended Dec 2023: Our team had so much fun in Cara's DIY Chunky Knit Blanket class! Communication with Cara was super easy and quick, and we luckily had no issues with shipping and whatnot. Cara was a great instructor - she was super clear, helpful, and friendly. I'd highly recommend this class and look forward to exploring other classes with Cara and her team!
• 5/5 from Monica Dougherty, attended Nov 2023: Loved the class, just finishing my blanket now! She went slow enough to understand and felt like everything was clear.

Her voice and ability to make us all feel comfortable was exceptional! I wasn’t sure if I would like a zoom class but I can’t wait to do another one! I will be gifting these classes for sure
• 5/5 from Theresa Morgan, attended May 2023: FUN CLASS Was easy to learn and the instructor gave great direction. Time flew by!
• 5/5 from Clarence Leung, attended Apr 2023: Awesome! Thank you to Cara for being such a great host to my team. Would recommend to other folks with hybrid virtual and in-person teams.
• 5/5 from Jennie Andresen, attended Apr 2023: We were so excited to have the option of a private class for our sisters weekend to celebrate some of us turning the big 4 0. Cara was upbeat and gave clear instructions. She answered specific questions and also shared tips based on her experience. It was the right balance of conversation, instruction, and tips and didn't feel rushed. We would highly recommend this class. Everyone needs at least one more soft cozy blanket. Not sure I can stop at just one though. I may have found a new hobby!
• 5/5 from Marco Wood, attended Feb 2023: Cara was awesome! Everyone loves the class, easy to follow! Would do many more classes
• 5/5 from Brent Sinn, attended Feb 2023: Cara did a great job. She was knowledgable, positive and moved at a good pace. We really enjoyed the class.
• 5/5 from Jules Marvin, attended Feb 2023: Very easy to follow and kind instructor! Also appreciated the ability to be able to follow back up / review tutorials.
• 5/5 from Shanna Hurley, attended Jan 2023: Very helpful and informative instructor. By the end of the class we were about 1/4 through he blanket but had enough direction to finish on our own. Finished that same day! No one turned on their video except the instructor and us, so there wasn’t very much interaction from other students. Overall, it was a good class and we are excited to have a new skill that’s fast and easy— this will be great to make as gifts in the future.
• 5/5 from Bradley, attended Jan 2023: The person who led our session was patient and didn't hesitate to show us a technique more than once, to help us understand.
• 5/5 from Stacy, attended Jan 2023: Enjoyed the teacher's energy. She was really patient and made sure to check in on the class, backup and re-show things, etc. Super fun.
• 5/5 from Jeanne, attended Jan 2023: very patient/chill instructor and beautiful yarn
• 5/5 from Cinzia Borello, attended Jan 2023: The teacher was really nice. The chenille provided was so soft and a color I like! I learned I can knit with my hands. It was a fun experience.
• 5/5 from Todd, attended Jan 2023: The course is taught at a perfect pace, giving you time to knit, follow along, and ask questions. The overhead camera view was extremely helpful in understanding the flow and concept of knitting. Give it a try and start making blankets for your whole family and pets.
