Meet Nicki

Hi, I’m Nicki 

I’m a Certified Crochet Instructor and published crochet designer who believes crochet should feel joyful, approachable, and endlessly creative — not confusing or intimidating.

I teach live in-person and virtual classes designed to help you actually learn, not just follow along, develop bad habits, or feel frustrated. I’ve taught students of all ages and experience levels, and I specialize in helping beginners feel comfortable, capable, and confident from day one.

My crochet patterns and designs have been featured in Simply Crochet, Crochet World, I Like Crochet, and AllFreeCrochet. I’m always honored to see my work in print and even more excited to share those designs with crocheters everywhere. My patterns are thoughtfully designed to be approachable, never overly complicated, and always deliver that satisfying “wow, I made this!” moment.

Whether you’re picking up a hook for the first time, getting back into crochet, or looking for more inspiration and ideas, I’m here to help.
