With google and YouTube, why would I pay for crochet courses & workshops?
With over 30 years of experience, I've spent a lot of time learning how to crochet, sell crochet, write crochet patterns & teach crochet. And, even though this is my full-time career, building expertise took many years and was not straightforward.
I created the ACA to share what I've learned after decades of trial-and-error so that you can crochet more, better, faster & with less mistakes.
If you don't want to waste time, money & yarn, I'll share my secrets so that you can help to pass crochet through the generations in better hands than we found it!
