Your Host

Heather & Josie have both passed background checks and completed required training to teach and award badges for Scouting of America.

Meet Heather Swan: Heather learned to crochet and sew as a young child. Her sewing stuck with her for years and then she picked up some knitting needles over 15 years ago never looking back. She eventually went back to her roots and started to crochet again. And as she has been falling down the fiber arts rabbit hole, she also enjoys spinning and weaving. Heather has coached youth sports since she was a youth and enjoys passing along her knowledge to help others take their interests to the next step. If you enjoy learning and laughing, you will definitely enjoy spending time at the table with Heather picking up a new skill.

Meet Josie Sutterer: Hello! I would love to teach you new crochet skills! I love crochet for its unique look and versatility. A childhood friend taught me crochet basics and I picked it up again during covid. About a year and a half ago I taught myself how to knit. Since then I have made sweaters, socks, and lots of other fun things!
