Meet Nicki
Hi, I’m Nicki 
I’m a certified crochet instructor 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.
Whether you’re picking up a hook for the first time or getting back into crochet, I’m here to help you enjoy the process.
What I Offer
Live Virtual Classes
Join me on Google Meet for structured, beginner-friendly crochet instruction. Ask questions, get feedback, and learn at a pace that makes sense.
In-Person Lessons
Personalized, in-person crochet lessons for beginners or experienced crocheters who want hands-on support with a specific project, pattern, or skill. We meet at Hamilton County Public Libraries in the Cincinnati area.
Tutorials & Patterns
Modern, fun crochet patterns, categorized by skill level for beginners and experienced makers alike.
Who This is For
You’re in the right place if:
You’ve always wanted to learn crochet but don’t know where to start
You’ve tried YouTube or books and felt overwhelmed
You want someone to actually teach you
You like learning in a supportive, judgment-free environment
You don’t need to be “crafty.” You just need a hook, yarn, and a little guidance.
Why Learn with Me
Why In-Person & Live Virtual Classes Work

Crochet is easier (and more fun) when someone’s there to guide you.
