Toni Lipsey is the designer, instructor, and author behind TL Yarn Crafts. She shares crochet inspiration and education for makers of all skill levels.

Toni started blogging about crochet in 2013, but in 2015, was looking for the ideal slouchy beanie pattern and couldn't find it anywhere. Frustrated beyond belief, she set out to create her own on ideal beanie.

Several months and a few dozen discarded samples later, the Mega Pom Beanie was born and so was a crochet designer.
