Toni Rexroat is the editor for Crochet Me. For
the past three and a half years, outfitted with several crochet hooks
and surrounded by bins of yarn, she has been the assistant editor for
Interweave Crochet magazine. Before joining the Interweave Crochet team,
Toni worked on PieceWork, Interweave Crochet’s sister magazine. She was
born and raised in a little town in Wyoming where she was exposed to
wool and other fibers at an early age, but now resides in Colorado and
misses raising sheep. She began crocheting in her early teens and enjoys
a wide variety of fibery hobbies from crochet and knitting to sewing
and is determined to learn to spin so she can crochet with her own yarn.

Marcy Smith is the editor of Interweave Crochet
magazine. A lifelong crafter, she learned to crochet when she was 8.
Other fiber loves include knitting, spinning and weaving. Before joining
Interweave in late 2008, she worked as a crafts writer and blogger, as
well as books-page editor, at the News & Observer in Raleigh. During
a brief stint working in a yarn shop, she rocked a knitter's world by
breaking the news to her that her heirloom knitted shawl was, in fact,
crocheted. When not sleuthing out patterns, she hikes and bikes with her
family in Cary, North Carolina.

Sharon Zientara is the Assistant Editor for Interweave Crochet. While crochet is a relatively new love, she has been knitting, designing, cross-stitching and sewing her way across the Midwest for over twenty years. She spends her days trying to live up to the prolific crocheting and crafting of her mother and grandmother, her two craft-y idols. She also can and has worked for yarn on an alpaca farm here in Colorado. When not immersed in fiber, she acquires more cats, yells at the television during Cubs season, and watches as many independent films as she can.

Sarah Read is the project editor for Interweave Crochet. She discovered yarn in her mid-teens, and has immersed herself in it ever since, occasionally to the extent that the word “intervention” gets thrown around. Crocheting, spinning, and knitting happen daily in Sarah’s world. She’s a bit of a geek. Before joining Interweave in 2009, she worked in libraries and bookstores. She blogs on Crochet Me and tweets her enthusiasm over new crochet designs @CrochetSarahR. She is delighted to be working in a field where she can combine her love of the written word with her love of all things fiber.
