New colorways for 2008.

I stocked a bunch of these last week, and have two of them previewing for semi-customs. I have had so much fun creating these colorways. My customers seem to have liked them, and I plan to repeat them all throughout early 2008 until people become sick of them and I move on to something new. Expect to see a lot of yarn from me this coming year.

Here are the ones I did over the last 10 days or so, excluding those in my last 2 entries.

Top to Bottom: ‘Monster’, ‘Galaxy’, ‘Ornate Butterfly Fish’, ‘Emo’, and ‘Brooklyn’

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”.
