A new blog! « Ky Baby Knits’s Weblog

A new blog!

This is it. The final blog. I promise this will be the last one forever…. or a long time anyway! I have commitment issues, what can I say?

I will be using this blog as a place to announce general Ky Baby Knits news and share about my latest creations and ideas. Enjoy your stay! Also, I love comments and appreciate anyone who leaves one for me

Here are a few yarns I’ve dyed recently. These are tentatively slated to be semi-custom slots for my Hyena Cart. I am slowing down my business for the holiday season, and rather than list 4 customs at a time I will be making items for instock at my leisure, and listing one semi-custom at a time as the mood strikes me. If there is one that you would love to see offered soon, please leave a comment! If you have any name ideas for these colorways that you would like to share, I would love to hear them.

Colorway 4

Now back to those instock items. I will be focusing mostly on Hudson Hat’s for instock. What is a Hudson Hat you ask? It is a new creation of mine inspired by a very creative woman whom I’ve had the great pleasure of knowing since both of our middle children were in diapers (cloth of course;)

Here is a little taste of what a Hudson Hat looks like:

Um, I LOVE the new colorways. Especially the first and third ones. That first one is SO brilliant.

Great looking blog too.

I’ll give you some name ideas. They may not be good, but I’ll give you ideas.

First one: Giggles and Dreams, Jazzy Rainbow, Loud ‘n’ Lively

Second one: Feelin’ Blue, Melancholy Day, Azure Garden

Third one: Lavendar Mint Kisses, Midnight Pixie

Fourth one: Siren’s Song. The colors remind me of a mermaid

About

My name is Lindsay Baker, and I live in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon. By my side is my wonderful husband, Ian, and our four kids: Jackson, Kylie, Willow, and Annabelle.

My husband and I both grew up here in Corvallis Oregon and ran in the same circles as teens and young adults. We had our son Jackson in 1998, while we were both just getting ready to go to college. Then in 2004 Kylie came along, and just 19 months later we were blessed with out twins, Willow and Annabelle. As you might guess, this slowed down the college train just a bit. However, Ian is graduating in June with a B.S. in Radiation Health Physics and already has a job waiting in the beautiful Puget Sound area. We have our eyes locked on a beautiful home that overlooks downtown Seattle.

My business was founded in 2005 when I wanted to knit longies to go over my daughter Kylie’s cloth diapers. She was the inspiration that led me to learn to knit and dye my own yarn. Even as recently as 2005 there weren’t a lot of creative independent yarn dyers selling their work yet. Luckily for me, this meant I “had” to jump in and learn to dye my own! I named my business after my “Ky Baby” (Kylie) since if it wasn’t for her, I may have never picked up those knitting needles!

I’ve just recently begun designing and writing knitting patterns as well. This has been a new and fun challenge that I hope to continue.

I am so thankful and grateful that I was inspired to make fiber arts a huge part of my life. It is a creative outlet that gives me a sense of purpose outside of my regular (and much loved!) roles of “Mother” and “Wife”.
