Toni Lipsey is the designer, instructor and author behind TL Yarn Crafts. She is a wealth of crochet inspiration and education for beginner makers and beyond. Toni has designed over 200 chic and practical crochet & Tunisian crochet patterns for modern stitchers. We could not be more excited to be hosting her here in Southern Oregon for our September 2025 Retreat.

Are you local? We've got a special treat for you! In addition to our retreat, Toni Lipsey will be teaching a beginner-level introduction to Tunisian crochet class down at the shop on September 9th! Resting at the intersection of knitting and crochet, Tunisian crochet brings the best of these crafts into a new dimension. Discover the excitement of this addictive technique and walk out of class with your first completed project - the Bliss Braided Ear Warmer (featured above), an exclusive pattern from Toni's book, The Tunisian Crochet Handbook. There are only a handful of spots left in this class, so don't hesitate to sign up.

You might have noticed a growing interest in crochet amongst the fiber community lately, and we hear you asking for more crochet classes! In response to all the requests of "Now that I crochet, how do I make those cute creatures?!", guest teacher Paula Hyatt will be teaching an Intro to Amigurumi class down at the shop on August 2nd. 

In this class you will learn the basic principles, tips, and tricks that will help make your future amigurumi projects successful. Using a pattern designed specifically for this class, we will demystify the magic ring, practice color changes, learn the benefits of an invisible decrease, discuss yarn under versus yarn over, and much more. This class is perfect for those starting amigurumi for the first time and for those who have made projects and want to learn how to address gaps, holes and other challenges that can present themselves when crocheting these fun little friends.
