    INSTRUCTORS
    Brenda K. Kinnerk
    I learned basic crochet when I was a child but have really gotten into a wider range of crochet projects in the past few years.

    While I do not consider myself an expert, I have a lot of experience with projects like scarves and blankets, wearables such as hats and sweaters, and more recent interest in amigurumi.

    Crochet allows me to explore my creativity whether learning new stitches and following a pattern or working on my own creating one-of-a-kind items.
