Let’s meet Salena Baca
Let’s meet Salena Baca on the Yarn Thing Podcast with Marly Bird.
Salena Baca learned to crochet before grade school and has been wildly obsessed ever since! After crocheting “in the closet” most of her life, Salena burst out after finding Ravelry in 2009. Learning that an entire world of crocheters were available to connect with was life-changing. It determined her next career move; crochet design and networking. She began designing patterns that appealed to her style, and has formed platforms such as Salena Baca Crochet, the Design Wars Challenge, Happily Hooked Magazine, The Pattern Pack, and the American Crochet Association. She’s published over 200 patterns, has very strong ties in the crochet and fiber arts community, and is the author of Crochet for Christmas. Salena currently lives with her family in Oregon.

My Yarn Life is so scattered. I wish I had more time to crochet and keep my yarn organized.

Hello. I enjoyed the show today. I love yarn and crochet and spend at least 6 hours daily crocheting. So I guess you can say I live a crocheters yarn life!!!
Great interview as always! If we were to talk to our yarns the theme would be what’s in a yarn’s life. I’m pretty sure there would be some funny lives out there.

It is always fun to get new project ideas from other folks’ yarn life.
I loved Salena’s passion for fiber and social media. She has really made herself a yarn life. Thanks for the giggles and the comraderie you shared.
I love being a fiber artist, poly-craftual, living a yarn life. Rock on ladies, we are awesome.

Loved hearing about Salena’s yarn life and how she became a designer.
Great podcast…my life is a yarn life. I try to get a few minutes everyday with my yarn, even if it is just to touch it =)
I’m so thankful to Marly for introducing me to Salena and her crochet. My yarn life will be more full and beautiful with the new patterns I have found! Keep up the great work.
I definitely live a yarn life. It’s taking over my house and I love it! Selena Baca is one of my favorite crochet designers. Love her!
My life is a yarn life, which is a beautiful thing to enjoy. Hurrah for yarn and for crocheting.
I love learning any about knitting and crochet since I live a yarn life!! Now my grand children are leaning so I am always looking for new ideas!!!
Great show! I just headed over to FB and joined the yarn life group. I look forward to connecting with others that share the obsession.
So very true my life is yarn life! Great name for a group…will be checking the group out soon.
What a great episode! Yarn Life should really be on a t-shirt.
I’m very organized so my yarn life is as well- but that’s not to say I don’t have plenty of UFO’s hanging around… but there’s ALWAYS room for more, right?!
So much yarn….so many ideas, not enough time in the day. Love my Yarn Life
I can’t imagine my life without it having a Yarn Life. What do people do in their free time without a Yarn Life?
My life would not be complete with out a Yarn Life! Thank you for your show, it’s great!!
My yarn life includes crochet and knitting – and designers like Salena motivate me to keep casting (chaining) on!! Thanks Marly!
I definitely live (and love) the Yarn Life! Wonderful interview and beautiful patterns!
Yarn life? What other kind of life is there?
