Capture your creativity with a lifelong crochet expert!
Ready to learn crochet, want to brush up on some forgotten skills, or just need help with a project? I have been crocheting since I was 9 years old and teaching all ages for nearly 15 years and would love to get your (yarn) ball rolling! Specializing in pattern reading and writing, troubleshooting, improvisation, and more. No question is too big or too small! I believe that crochet is easier to pick up than knitting, so this is a great place to start for kids or first time yarn crafters, and I encourage anyone to learn crochet as well if they want to pick up knitting someday.
About Elizabeth S.

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth and 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, 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 knit, crochet, and home gardening.

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!
