BE INSPIRED

Ignite Your Crochet

I teach crocheters to embrace lace and fingering weight yarns to them grow beyond bulky projects and the granny square.

Hi! Iโ€™m Karen.


Iโ€™m a Northern California girl living in south-central Washington state. While I miss my rocky coastline, the sunshine of the high desert and the gorgeous Tri-Cities Rivers inspire what I do!

From the time I was a child, crochet was my favorite thing to do. These days, I design patterns, write crochet books, and teach crochet classes meant to ignite crocheters’ learning and growth in their skills and enjoyment.

I invite everyone to join me in my corner of the crochet world. I am looking forward to growing with you!
