Learn Knitting with Great Fiber Arts Teachers

I have been working as a knitting and crochet teaching artist since 2009.

I have worked with students as young as 11 years old online and in an after-school setting.

I have been involved with music for thirty- six years. When I was sixteen, I started singing in the church choir and I fell in love with singing. I worked a part time job to pay for music lessons. This led me to pursue an associates in arts degree for liberal Arts Emphasis in Creative and Applied Arts. I soon grew interested in making and producing my own music.

I create confident crocheters and knitters! I do this by teaching, designing patterns, blogging, and creating video tutorials. I help yarn crafters learn the techniques they need to problem-solve and think for themselves. And through tech editing and professional instruction, I help designers learn the skills they need to provide clear, correct, concise and consistent patterns.
