Have you ever heard of macrame?
Macrame is a knotting technique that can be used to create many great projects from cotton yarn.

In this course I'll show you online how to get started and how to use the basic knots very quickly. You can make so many projects using these knots: wall hangings, keychains, wall mirrors, hanging baskets...

Just a nice hobby now that you have to spend a lot of time indoors.

If you are curious or just don't feel like watching YouTube tutorials but want to learn macrame from a person, then let me know!
See you soon 😊

Crochet is a handicraft through which you can create many wonderful masterpieces, using a needle, thread and a set of rules that I will teach you.
These rules are easy and simple, they need you to focus and a lot of practice.
Crochet helps control anxiety, clears your mind and opens doors to a world full of geometric and color creations.

Whether you've never touched a crochet hook before, or you're looking for new skills to add to your repertoire, this class can teach you the basic skills you need to work on your projects. Learn how to make stuffed animals, or gear up for winter!
My grandmother first taught me how to crochet when I was young, and I picked it up properly after high school. I've now been crocheting for eight years, and haven't needed to buy winter gear since. In the last couple years I've picked up making stuffed animals and amigurumi, good for decorations, kids, ornaments, and more.
Let me know what level of tutoring you want, so I can tailor your experience to your needs.

Crochet can be seen as a form of creative expression, as individuals can use these skills to make unique and personalised items. From intricate blankets and scarves to delicate lacework and hats, knitting and crochet offer endless opportunities to showcase creativity and individuality. It also helps to keep the mind sharp and stimulated, and improves dexterity. It is also known to promote a sense of calm and relaxation, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety. By focusing on the repetitive movements of knitting or crochet, the mind can enter a meditative state, providing a sense of mental and emotional balance.

If you know crochet, you can make literally anything you can possibly think of. Its easily a self-taught skill that can be picked up by anyone irrespective of age. However, getting started can be quite tricky.

My classes aims to ease one with their starting troubles and teach the most basic stitches in crochet that is the most commonly used in a variety of crochet patterns and designs. I also don't mind an interactive session wherein assistance is required for crochet videos/tutorials that is hard to follow or just clear basic doubts like correct needle size to used, correct grip, how to count stitches, how to form smooth chains etc. In my experience, crochet is easier when there is someone to practice with alongside and that's exactly what I intend on doing.

If you’ve ever searched for this class and even looked at the description of this lesson, then you’ve probably come across a crochet pattern filled with many symbols that seem complicated, yet they produce an absolutely stunning piece. And maybe you’ve thought that these patterns are only used by professionals who have spent years mastering this craft...

But what if I told you a secret? 👀
You don’t need to be a crochet expert to learn how to read a pattern, it’s quite the opposite! Once you learn to read a pattern, it actually opens the door for you to become more professional and develop your skills!

In fact, if you already know the basic stitches, you’re fully ready to start this lesson.
(And if you don’t yet know the basic crochet stitches, I recommend looking for my lesson titled “Learn Crochet from Scratch!”)

By the end of this lesson, you will:
✅ Learn the basic symbols for each stitch.
✅ Learn how to read a pattern row by row.
✅ Master how to follow the reading direction correctly.
✅ Understand the difference between a written and a charted pattern.
✅ Create a beautiful piece yourself using a ready-made pattern!

So, are you ready?
