Hi there ♡ Welcome to my course page!

I am SO grateful that you are considering starting your crochet journey with me! 

I am a self-taught amigurumi artist. What began as a hobby has since transformed into a small business and an absolute passion.

I made many mistakes in my self-taught journey and found it quite difficult to learn without real guidance.

My goal is to save you time and effort on research, and skip right to the knowledge and fundamental skills that you need to make your own clean, beautiful creations. All of my classes are pre-recorded and entirely online so you can access them wherever you are in the world!

I hope to see you in class ♡

-Allison
