Marsha Lipsius - Crochet Teacher
Marsha has been crocheting since her teens. Mostly gifts for friends and family. She was taught by her
Mom, after she failed to learn to knit! Mostly she prefers to do “flat” items, afghans, scarves, potholders
and dishcloths. Lately, though she has branched out and is now working with thread to make doilies and
Mason jar covers. She has enjoyed doing Broomstick Lace since the late 1970s.
