Meet The Maker

My name is Sahnya (it rhymes with lasagna) . I am a yarn addict. 

I live in Central Oregon and am the lucky mama to two young adult sons. I drink too much coffee (dark and black please), have a weak spot for chocolate, and am on the never ending and sometimes meandering path to try and take good care of my mental and physical health. 

When boys were babies, I traded in my passion for larger scale fiber work to knitting. It is portable, easy to set down, and also allowed for me to work with color and texture while making (mostly) wearable items while also chasing after littles.  My love of knitting has continued to evolve and expand and somehow I do not seem to tire of it. 

My passion is playing with color and texture and making one of a kind items. Many items I sell are my own knitting designs, my designs are available on Ravelry. When I post items designed by another maker on my website, I always try and identity the name of the design and designer to give them credit and enable knitters to easily find the pattern.

I use merino wool, because it is fabulous. It is a delight to wear and knit, and comes in gorgeous color ways. My blog post does detail details on why merino.

 

Each year I donate some proceeds or items to causes I believe in such as organizations that lift up marginalized groups, and assist animals in need.
