“From each one of you I’ve learnt something valuable, thank you for being a part of my journey and thank you for leaving us a kind word, it means a lot.” – Sowmya
amazing teacher…
“Sowmya is an amazing teacher, being left handed I have struggled to pick up crocheting even after reading numerous books, watching tutorials and asking friends to show me.
Sowmya was showing me how its done by crocheting with her left hand which helped immensely, the build up of skills required to crochet was easy to follow and most importantly memorable (here’s your pond, catch a fish) which then enabled me to crochet my dream item a granny square! Which is now slowly becoming a full blown blanket. Thank you Sowmya!”

Awesomeness
“A review from an artist mom, who loves an eye for detail and awesomeness.
That’s what Little Hive’s Doll Kit makes you feel – Awesome to be able to create, do beautiful handwork and create your own little darling baby – it’s not just a doll. This kit is so precious from the moment you see the box, to opening it, and the treasures hidden inside give so much joy, everything so well thought of, instructions so crisp and clear, everything you need to make two beautiful dolls are in this box with love from Sowmya…
Thank you Sowmya for opening up the world of imagination and creativity for me… Love and Light

Across time and distance
“Little Barry (Story in a Box) was especially special because it was crafted by two people who came together – reaching across time and distance….
But with true recognition for each other’s strengths… giving space for something new to be born…
And the story and the crafted creatures brought joy to many children!”

Can't believe I made a doll
“Thank you for Homai (doll’s name), the warmth that you shared with us. I still can’t believe I made a doll today. It’s a sign from above, I don’t know how to explain this 🙂 God bless, today has been so so special I cannot describe it in words, will always remember this day.”

Really enjoyed this class
“I really enjoyed this class. Sowmya was very patient and encouraging. Initial frustration soon subsided and I was surprised but very pleased to have produced a granny square by the end of the session and feel confident to practise from here. I would definitely recommend Sowmya’s class – it would have taken me ages to get this far just with a book or even an online tutorial.”

What a great afternoon!
“What a great afternoon! Sowmya’s techinques and method of teaching was incredibly easy to follow. She was very patient and helped me to rediscover the art of crotchet. The examples she gave were very clear, and she encouraged me to continue patterns without relying on the instructions. I now feel confident to continue practising this art and would highly recommend Sowmya’s class to anyone!”
