Crochet Instructor- Nicole Mciver

I've been crocheting for about 2 years, and it’s grown from a simple hobby into one of my favorite creative outlets. I absolutely love working with bright, bold yarn colors—anything that pops and brings joy! While I specialize in amigurumi (I can’t resist making tiny, adorable creatures), I also enjoy making a good wearable piece when inspiration strikes. Whether it's playful or practical, crochet is my happy place, and I’m always excited to keep learning and sharing along the way.
