Instructor Bio:

Elle was taught to crochet by her grandmother at the age of six along with her siblings. Her first project was a granny square. She used up the odd and random colored yarns in her grandmother's stash creating dozens of squares until she made one of the strangest looking ponchos one could imagine. After that crochet became a frequent and well loved hobby for her. She made every baby shower gift, housewarming gift, and random Christmas ornament out of yarn. By the time she was in her twenties she was teaching crochet to classes at her local Joann fabric store on weekends. She spent her freetime trying every new stitch and technique she could think of or find. Youtube in the early 2000s opened her love of teaching and crochet up to a wider audience and for a long time she posted tutorials to that platform and sold her products on Etsy. She eventually put herself through college earning a degree and starting her career in criminal justice. With over thirty years of experience with crochet she is excited for an opportunity to teach her craft again.
