Hello, I'm Francine.

I’m a psychologist, teacher and crocheter, who loves the potential of the human brain and its creativity. I discovered my passion for knitting in my beautiful eco-minded country, Costa Rica. I started attending classes with my mom in 2012. I found the class fascinating and I immediately knew I wanted to immerse myself in this awesome craft. Some women were making beautiful blankets for their grandchildren, others were making gorgeous sweaters and shawls. I began to explore more modern, funky and authentic things that I could create with a simple crochet needle. Soon I discovered many amazing accessories that I made for myself and later started selling. The time I spent crocheting helped me clear and calm my mind while making something tangible, it was extremely therapeutic. I have always wanted to merge my love for crafting and teaching and that’s how the idea of this course came about. I have a strong desire to share what I have learned over my years as a passionate crocheter with those upcycled lovers out there. I am a firm believer that our hands can make incredible things and impactful changes, so let’s hook hands and start this amazing journey!
