Crochet Instruction

HAVE HOOK - WILL TRAVEL

I offer private and small group crochet lessons in Wythe, Pulaski, and Carroll counties. Register for a scheduled class or schedule any class from the roster at a time that is convenient for you! Classes can be scheduled via Zoom or in person at my studio or any agreeable local establishment. 


Larger group events are fun! I will carry my hook and yarn to your library, church, Senior Center, or local yarn store for special group reservations. Please email me for more information and to schedule your event.


Beginner to advance classes are offered for those 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!
