The latest in a long line of fiber enthusiasts, Nicole learned to crochet from her mother; legendary in the family for once making an entire crochet potted geranium without a pattern! Originally from Atlanta, Nicole’s crafty skills came in handy in as a theatre student at Georgia State University and the University of Central Missouri where she earned her BA and MA in theatre respectively. Continuing her crochet habit, er, hobby, Nicole eventually transitioned from theatre work to not-for-profit management and is currently the Operations Manager for Future of Music Coalition. It’s a job that gives her plenty of time to crochet on the train. Nicole learned to knit in the spring of 2011 and was thrilled to find the crochet cast on! Her favorite part of fiber arts is getting to say “Why thank you, I made it myself!”
