    This beginner crochet class was great! Jennifer is an excellent teacher -- very patient, and moved slowly so we could all follow. There were varying skill levels in the class, and Jennifer easily switched gears to guide whoever she was working with. She also took recommendations to heart. Really appreciated all the follow-up notes! Definitely something I will continue to reference in my crochet journey!

    Kelly is very good at explaining and showing. Group size was perfect for individual attention, which I needed. I sure appreciated greatly Kelly going above and beyond by writing out in a narrative the pattern diagram. I am looking forward to using both to learn how to read a diagram via her instruction. The venue and time of day were perfect.

    INSTRUCTORS
    Kelly Wooldridge
    Greetings!
    I began my crochet life-style in the Fall of 2018. I wanted to make gifts instead of purchasing them for the holidays that year, so I decided to learn to crochet hats and fingerless gloves from YouTube tutorials. My obsession was born the moment I completed my first beanie - it was very moving! Now I crochet every possible chance I can - in waiting rooms, on vacations, while sitting in the passenger seat of a car, while I Netflix and chill.., and I'd like to share my passion with other interested folks!

    I was born and raised in the DFW metroplex. I met my husband while attending the University of North Texas. We lived in California and then Arizona before we settled in the Austin area in 2015. We have one daughter and one dog.

    Kelly Wooldridge is available for private bookings

    Can be available many weekday afternoons or evenings for a 2 hour private session of instruction or guidance
