I’m Toni Lipsey, the TL of TL Yarn Crafts. I spend every moment I can teaching crochet online and in person, and designing my own modern, approachable patterns. My shop is a curated collection of those patterns as well as fun gifts for makers like coffee mugs and pin back buttons with snarky sayings. My loftiest desire with TLYC is that all who experience it will feel empowered to express their creativity in whatever form it takes. When I’m not plotting to save the world with yarn, I’m probably playing around with my fancy camera or binge watching Netflix with my Hub Bub and kitties.

Moogly as you see it today is the work of one designer/writer/blogger, and Photo-for-Biothat’s Tamara Kelly. Or… me! My husband Geoff helps out with most of the tech stuff, including all camera work and video editing. None of this would be possible without him! Together we raise our daughter and two sons in Iowa, USA. Moogly is an important part of supporting our family financially, and it’s a lot of fun too! I enjoy interacting with all the amazing crafters I’ve met through the site, and with your support, I hope to continue to do so for a long time to come!
