Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Meg, a crochet designer, Blogger and certified crochet teacher! I design crochet patterns and teach beginner and Intermediate-level crochet classes for kids and adults who are eager to start their crochet journey. Although I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, my love for crochet led me to pursue a path that truly fulfills me.
In my classes, I believe in treating every student as unique and special, taking the time to be patient and supportive of each individual's learning pace. I strive to create a welcoming and encouraging environment where everyone feels comfortable to learn and grow.
On a personal note, I juggle my mommy duties with my toddlers while crocheting, making the experience both fun and challenging. When I'm not crocheting or chasing after my little ones, you'll often find me enjoying a cup of coffee – my perfect companion for a relaxing crochet session.
I look forward to sharing my passion with you and helping you create beautiful crochet projects!
