All over the crochet (inter)net, everyone’s talking about Twinkie Chan. Who is Twinkie? She’s part of a movement called ‘Indie Crafts’. There are lots of artists and crafters who are part of the Indie movement – Indie as in Independent. Twinkie is an independent stylist IMO and has created any number of very cute or cool (depending on your tastes) scarves. Well, whatever your opinion, I believe that most of us will agree that Twinkie is talented and creative.

Above is a picture of Twinkie and some of her scarves. I haven’t researched enough to know if the wall art is Twinkie’s also. How would she have time??

The most talked about of Twinkie’s scarves is the Cupcake Scarf which sold on Ebay for mucho dinero.
