Blogger, designer and teacher Toni Lipsey is someone you must get to know if you're interested in expanding your crochet horizons! Toni is a crochet-only designer who specializes in modern garments, accessories and housewares. She's a crochet teacher who focuses on giving beginners the tools they need to graduate to the next skill level. She's an instructor for Annie's Creative Studio videos, the Knit and Crochet Now! TV Show, and her own YouTube videos! Her website, TL Yarn Crafts, (www.tlyarncrafts.com), features not only patterns and ready-made items, but fun pin-back buttons and coffee mugs displaying phrases she creates. Happily, Toni earns her living completely from all these forms of working with yarn. Clearly, "talented" is an understatement! |
