As a student, I often find myself in need of a creative outlet to destress and relax. And for me, that outlet is crocheting. I first learned to crochet as an elementary schooler, under the patient guidance of an older woman who ran an afterschool program. Little did I know back then that this simple skill would become my go-to method for calming my anxiety and channeling my creativity.

Crocheting is not just a hobby for me; it's a form of therapy. The rhythmic motion of the crochet hook, the soft touch of the yarn, and the repetitive patterns all work together to create a sense of calm and focus. It's almost meditative in nature, allowing me to escape the stresses of daily life and enter a state of tranquility.

One of the things I love most about crocheting is that it allows me to create something practical and functional. Whether it's a cozy blanket, a warm hat, or a stylish scarf, each project serves a purpose. There's a sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing that I've made something with my own two hands, something that can bring comfort and joy to myself or someone else.

Over the years, I've honed my crochet skills and expanded my repertoire of stitches and patterns. And now, I want to share my love for crocheting with others. That's why I'm excited to offer online crochet lessons. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced crocheter looking to learn new techniques, I'm here to guide you.
