For obvious reasons… I’m only teaching online at the moment!
I’m so thankful for technology solutions such as Zoom these days, because they mean I can still teach crochet… online! I’ve worked out the best way to replicate a classroom setting, and my students benefit from a fun and convenient teaching experience.

Free CAL on Facebook
During lockdown #1, I ran a free Sandrine shawl CAL (crochet along) in my Facebook group. The detailed pattern and step by step videos are still available, so feel free to join!

Who am I?
My name is Gaëlle (you can pronounce it like Gail), and in case you hadn’t guessed… I live in Wales!
I’m a crochet tutor and I firmly believe that everyone in the world should take up crochet, or a similar activity.
Why? Because crochet is good for you, both physically, in terms of lowering your lowering your blood pressure, as well as mentally, because it can be a very mindful activity.
I’ve been crocheting since 2010 and teaching crochet since 2014. So far I’ve taught about 150 people to crochet. And I intend to keep growing this number! I simply love seeing my students’ light bulb moment when things click together and they get hooked (pardon the pun).
What else do you need to know?
I’m French, but I’ve been living in the UK for over 12 years.
I love cheese, pizza and wildlife.
I’m a feminist and a wannabe eco-warrior.
Wondering what it’s like to work with me?
See what these lovely people have to say….
I also have a blog!
You willl find my latest posts below, but feel free to check out the whole thing here.
Testing the Sophie Twirl Raglan pattern
When was the last time you did something for the first time ever? This summer I volunteered to join the testing team for Amber Zumbrun’s latest crochet design. It was actually a double first for me: I had never done pattern testing for a designer, AND I had never made...
A day out at CHSI Stitches in Birmingham
Ruth and Jenny kindly let me tag along to their annual trip to CHSI Stitches. I didn’t know what to expect from a craft show only open to professionals…
Delicious Crochet Shawls, by Lisa Cook – a review
I hadn’t planned on buying a book about crochet shawls but while browsing I flicked through a few crochet books, but none caught my attention until I got to Delicious Crochet Shawls. It was a winner for me because… it contained charts!
Who needs a yarn diet?
Some people decide to go on a “yarn diet” in the New Year. I find it such a dreadful term! Yarn brings such joy to people like us, whereas diets… well, they are rather ghastly for everyone, aren’t they?
Knitters can’t crochet – a myth
Stephanie is a keen knitter, but stated categorically at the start of our first session “I can’t crochet!” Fast forward an hour: it turns out Stephanie can crochet, enjoys it and is even really good at it – she is now bistitchual!
Crochet Home, by Emma Lamb – a review
Like any good crochet book, this one starts with a section about how to go about using it and I love the fact that the very first information given is that Emma uses UK crochet terms throughout.
