#4: You’ll Belong In A Crochet Community

Your crochet time is valuable, so we make sure your Crochet Membership is too.

When you’re looking for encouragement, support, and answers to your crochet questions, we can help.

Our crochet community has over 13,000 members you can connect and network with – come join something truly amazing!

The ACA is made and managed by Salena Baca, a crochet professional, just for people who love crochet.

My goal is to make crochet standards, guidelines, and practices that are easier to learn so that crochet can be passed through the generations in better hands than we found it.

If you’re looking for a clear path to build crochet skills, earn a crochet certificate, start a crochet career, or just be part of an education-driven crochet community… the ACA Crochet Membership is for you!

American Crochet Association

Welcome to the ACA, I’m Salena!

I learned to crochet at the age of 5 and haven’t put my hook down since!

Since 2009 I’ve published over 400 patterns, authored 8 crochet books (so far…), taught 2 courses with Craftsy, and launched the American Crochet Association.

Central Oregon is where I live with my husband, son, cats, dog, and colorful pile of yarn.

Everyone.

If you crochet, we have a course, training or workshop just for you.

Whether you’re looking become a better crocheter, or build a crochet business, we have something you can start right away and get great results.

Even if you’ve been crocheting “forever”, you’ll learn something new and helpful when you join the ACA.

Everyone does.

Because opinions, articles, videos, products, cheat sheets, hacks, and patterns are overloaded everywhere, you might be tired of:

  • Annoying and distracting ads that come with free resources – Exhausting!
  • Key details of patterns and tutorials that are confusing or missing – Is it you, or the pattern?
  • Scrolling through site after site and still not finding exactly what you want to know – wasting time and yarn!

At the ACA, a crochet library (the Learning Path) is at your fingertips, giving you a solid foundation to learn crochet, and build your knowledge and skills.

We specifically curate crochet stitch or project challenges that will help you to apply what you’ve learned in a meaningful, frustration-free environment.

Your Crochet Membership is a valuable resource to help you crochet more, better, faster and with less mistakes.

We understand!

If the Crochet Membership is not for you right now, join our free community to share your crochet projects, ask questions, make friends, learn and grow.

Community is important, and I look forward to meeting you there!

“I have truly enjoyed taking the courses by the American Crochet Association. I have been crocheting for 5 year before I found the ACA and they have taught me so much more than just crochet stitches. I highly recommend taking the Learning Path course and becoming an ACA member. Such a great community. Thank you American Crochet Association!

“Even though I have been crocheting for 47 years (and counting), I find the courses interesting and enlightening. Since I’m mostly self-taught, a lot of my knowledge and experience is intuitive and informal. American Crochet Association has helped me to define that knowledge and therefore makes me more confident of what I know.”

“I have been crocheting for many years. I didn’t realize there was so much more to learn until I joined the American Crochet Association. Their courses are thorough, easy to understand, professional, and include clear pictures and instructions. I’m very happy I joined the ACA. My crochet has definitely improved since I started applying the concepts I’ve learned from the ACA!”

“I love the fact that you have the convenience of viewing the videos when your schedule allows and that you can re-view as needed. Salena Baca speaks at a pace that is appropriate for learning, neither too fast nor too slow. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone, from beginner to experienced, who wants to learn more about crochet.”

“Oh gosh. I just love the ACA. Every chance I get to talk about it, I do. I LOVE the new layout. For me, it’s easier to stay focused. When too much information is offered at once I get easily distracted and therefore I don’t retain the information as well.
I definitely feel more confident about yarn and have shared some of my newfound knowledge to other fiber artists that I know. I cannot wait for the next course to start! Thanks for all the hard work you guys do at the ACA. I just can’t say enough good things about it. Proud to be an ACA member!”
