About our guests

Toni Lipsey

Since turning her crochet passion into a career nearly a decade ago, Toni has built a catalog of crafty knowledge that includes hundreds of beginner-friendly patterns and easy-to-follow tutorials. She draws her inspiration from the desire to immerse herself in a cozy life that is bursting with color. Her current obsessions are temperature blankets, Tunisian crochet, and anything granny squares. When she’s not crocheting, you can find Toni cuddled with her fur babes, Sheba and Pepper, as well as her husband watching true-crime thrillers in their metro Detroit home. Follow her daily crochet journey on Instagram, @TLYarnCrafts, and pick up her book, The Tunisian Crochet Handbook, and patterns on tlyarncrafts.com.
 
Gaye Glasspie
 
The knitter, the bloggess, the champion for all that's good in the world. GG is an inspiration to thousands, sharing her love of the craft, bringing heart to our industry, championing for racial justice, and always on point with her insightful commentary.
 
Max Daniels
Max Daniels is a writer with a monthly self-care column on Modern Daily Knitting. She made the switch from project management to life coaching in 2010, when the lure of technologies of human liberation became way more exciting than software. She has particular expertise in binge eating, and is the author of the forthcoming Meals at Mealtimes: Rapid Recovery for Binge Eaters.
 
Max is really excited to be offering wall-to-wall 1:1 coaching at Around the Table Yarns' February retreat. These will be short sessions, but we'll go til everyone who wants to get coached has been coached! Free to participants.

"A good coach can point out things you’ve literally never seen before, ask questions that no one else has ever thought to ask you, and make room for you to have entirely new ideas. Realizations, inspirations, action. Coaching helps you get from where you are to where you really want to go … with kindness. Also, typically, it’s fun."
