I've been crocheting since my grandmother taught me when I was 9. I conquered my fear of knitting in 2010, and haven’t looked back since.

In addition to working full time in higher education, I’m also the Proprietress of Underground Crafter. I’m a Craft Yarn Council Certified Crochet and Knitting Instructor (Level I) and Certified Crochet and Knitting Teacher (Level II). I specialize in teaching individual and small group crochet classes for beginner and intermediate students, and beginner knitting students.

I’m a member of the the New York City Crochet Guild, a Professional member of Crochet Guild of America, and a Designer/Teacher member of The Knitting Guild Association.

Online, I'm usually known as MarieInNYC, Underground Crafter, or UCrafter.

If you have any questions about my patterns, classes, or blog, feel free to email me at marieATundergroundcrafterDOTcom.
