A little bit about your tutor

Hello!

I'm Sharon Oldfield, the owner and creator of Cotton Pod, an online yarn store specialising in cotton yarns, crochet patterns & crochet kits.

With over 30 years of teaching experience, as a Secondary School teacher & subject leader, then crochet tutor, my crochet patterns, kits and workshops are designed to be easy to follow to make your crafting time enjoyable, mindful and relaxing.

I began tutoring crochet workshops in 2015, at Stitch Studio in Ramsbottom, where I would design my own teaching materials and patterns to use in my classes.

A year later, in March 2016 I launched the Cotton Pod website as a home for my patterns and a base to sell the resources needed for my patterns. 

I look forward to meeting you and teaching you to crochet soon!
