Alyssa F.

I’ve been hooked on fiber crafts since I learned to crochet at 14, and my passion has only grown! By 22, I was spinning my own yarn, and a year later, I dove into dyeing and processing fiber. At 25, I picked up knitting, completing my fiber journey. I’m always up for learning new techniques and taking on creative challenges. If it involves yarn, fiber, or needles, I’m in!

Renee

As a mom of 5, I started crocheting and knitting to outfit my babies. As they grew, I was completely hooked on yarn crafts and discovered the deep rabbit hole of different patterns and got addicted to sock knitting. My knitting motto is: "Anything is possible, it is all just one stitch at a time!"

Sheree

My mother is what you would call a "handy maker" and as a young child I was fascinated by what she was doing. I guess I got "in her face" once too often because by the time I was five she had stuck a crochet hook in my hands. That was the beginning of my life as a creative; you could say I was "hooked".

Tayvona

My name is Tayvona (pronounced Tay-vonna)…but I’m also known by my nickname, Cookie. I am native to Dayton and I’ve been crocheting for over thirty years. As a kid I had an insatiable desire to learn everything crochet and the same is still true today. Along the way, I’ve learned many skills, tools, and tips that have helped me in my crochet journey. I take pride in my skill because it’s my passion-I strive for only the best with whatever I create and teach. It is my joy to help others learn the fascinating world of crochet too.

Amy

I've been crocheting for roughly 20 years. I'm newer to knitting and enthusiastically enjoying the journey. I appreciate the opportunity to share my love of the fiber arts with budding crafters.
