Crocheting

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth and I run the blog at The Whistling Rooster Homestead. I have spent my life learning valuable skills to support my family and our interests and I hope this experience can help you in your journey to learning a new hobby!

I was 9 years old when my grandma taught me how to crochet - and I've been writing patterns and making custom creations ever since. With over 10,000 downloads of my published knitting patterns and a flawless five-star rating as an online instructor I'm sure I can find a solution to what ails your knitting OR crocheting.

Whether you're starting from the very beginning or need help with an advanced stitch or project, you can ask any of my more than 200 virtual students: I'm your girl! If you have any questions about your particular problem or goal please contact me using the Ask A Question feature. I'd love to hear from you whether you've signed up with me or not!

If you are looking for gift memberships or group lessons, these are both services that I am happy to offer! Please send me a message for details. 

Aside from the fiber arts I love to hike, dirtbike, snowboard, bake, and practice yoga. I'm a published author, accomplished musician, certified Master Gardener, and certified crochet and knitting instructor; but most importantly I am a full-time stay at home mom! Formerly an administrator in civil aviation, I dedicate my time to taking care of our homestead and obtaining continuing education in all things practical and enjoyable.

Zig zags and ripples are a fun pattern to learn for blankets! It's one of my most popular subjects in my private lesson so it's a must-see tutorial on Live. Includes a free pattern for a zig zag blanket.

It was a great session! SO nice and was so helpful!

I booked an introductory sourdough bread baking lesson for my wife with Elizabeth and she loved it!! We’re setting up a plan to book more lessons very very soon! Highly recommend Elizabeth is awesome!! 5 STARS!

Elizabeth is very responsive and has been super helpful for my daughter. She has advanced so much since she's started with Elizabeth. I would highly recommend using Elizabeth.

She is extremely competent and was very well prepared for the lesson. Asked good questions and gave excellent ideas and advice. I’m 100% satisfied.

Elizabeth provided clear and easy to follow instruction was able to understand and knit for the first time ever. Friends and family have tried to teach me in the past without any success but Elizabeth got me knitting and completing projects after the first lesson. I have continued to improve and learn new techniques with every lesson.

She took the time to explain things and had tons of patience.  She showed me techniques that made crocheting easier to manage and she was kind.

Elizabeth is a great instructor and very patient, helpful, and kind. My daughter has learned so much from her including single, half double, double, and treble crochet along with patterns for hearts and butterflies. I would highly recommend her.

Just what I needed. Exceeded my expectations. Elizabeth is knowledgeable and smart. She helped me fine tune a sock pattern and learn a new cast on. I look forward to learning more from her!

Elizabeth helped me a lot with a difficult (to me) pattern in just the first lesson. She is patient and clear in her instruction, obviously very knowledgeable in crochet.

Elizabeth was very patient and explained everything very thoroughly. I’m already started on a scarf after one lesson.  She even helped walk me through the technical problems with my browser. I’m very much looking forward to my next lesson with her!

Wonderful!  Elizabeth is a great teacher.  Very friendly and helpful.  She explains everything very well and even though its online you feel like shes right beside you in your home.

Elizabeth was amazing! we had a large group and she was so patient with everyone. made it so easy and was quick to notice anyone who was struggling. we can't wait until our next lesson next week!

I am so happy I found Elizabeth.. I have had 2 lessons and already I am going to be making a baby blanket.  She is a great teacher .. patient and flexible.. very knowledgeable.  I enjoy crocheting and can't believe how much I have learned in just 2 lessons... Look forward to many more 😊

Elizabeth is a wonderful teacher.  She is patient and pleasant, flexible and very knowledgeable.  After just the first lesson I was able to knit a basic scarf.  I highly recommend her for beginners, or even if you just want to brush up on your knitting skills!

I loved working with Elizabeth! I had just taught myself to crochet and was working on my first project when I was gifted lessons with Elizabeth. I found her to be very easy to talk with…she made me feel comfortable asking all of my questions. She is incredibly knowledgeable and provided me different ways of accomplishing what I was trying to do. I particularly loved her giving me different ways of doing things, this allowed me to work in a way that was best for me. I would highly recommend Elizabeth as a teacher and will be scheduling time with her for future projects.
