Crocheting

I have been crocheting for almost 20 years, my mother taught me when I was a child, as early as 8 years old. At the time, it was a skill that I never expected to become so important in my life! Starting with basic stitches then later progressing to reading and writing my own patterns. I have taught myself multiple stitches and techniques for completing anything from clothing, to hand bags, to throw pillows. I have found that nothing is impossible when it comes to crochet. I would love to teach you what I have learned and taught myself and help build your confidence and skill set for crocheting. Whether you are a beginner who needs to learn how to chain or an intermediate who wants to learn a particular technique, I am here for you!

Laraya has been an amazing instructor! My 10 yr old daughter enjoys her teaching style and Laraya has a great temperament for working with kids. 

My lesson with Laraya was so much fun! I appreciated that my time with her was organized as a 'choose your own journey' and really focused on the areas of crochet that I wanted to improve upon and know more about.  I left the lesson with increased confidence to tackle a new crochet goal! On top of it, Laraya is very approachable, humble and a beautiful human. Before I knew it, my time was up.  Thanks Laraya!

Laraya was AMAZING. The lesson was for my mom. She was so patient, kind, and encouraging. She made sure to teach it in a way that my mom understood. We’re so excited to take more lessons with her!! Thank you so much, Laraya!! 

Laraya gives easy to follow instructions and she has a pleasant personality.

Laraya is the best! She is so patient and helpful. I feel like I am starting to pick up crocheting thanks to her. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn crocheting.

Enjoyed my first lesson. I’m learning already!
