Crochet Instruction

HAVE HOOK - WILL TRAVEL

I offer private and small group crochet lessons in the Wytheville/Barren Springs/Pulaski, VA area. Until my studio is completed, I can meet with you virtually via Zoom or a local establishment. I will also carry my hook and yarn to your library, church, Senior Center, or local yarn store for special group reservations.

The level of instruction ranges from beginner to advanced for ages 10 and up! Topics include crochet basics, popular patterns, project classes, CALs, Tunisian, Macrame, and more!

Please join me on Facebook at By the Stitch Crochet Instruction group for FREE help, tutorials and, most importantly, community! I look forward to meeting you and sharing my passion for yarn work with you!
