My crochet career started when I lived in the USA, with the Craft Yarn Council's Crochet Instructor and Teacher certificate courses. The 30 hours of teaching led to a role running a weekly workshop at the amazing local yarn store Nimblefingers in Houston. I LOVED it! I also set up the crochet social Yak and Yarn. Miss all y'all!!
