About Salena Baca:
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 and My Crochet Closet. Salena currently lives with her family in Oregon.

I live the yarn life!
What a great podcast. Salena I love what you are doing and your concept of this type of training!! I’m very excited to look at the ACA website!! I have a full-time job, but wish crochet was my full-time job!! Love the concept of YARN LIFE, that you just talked about! Thank you for all of your information!
How did I not know about the Yarn Life show! Now I’ve got new watching material — thank you!
I will look up more information on your classes. My yarn life right now is changing. My local yarn store is going out of business. Saturday is the last day. I have taken advantage of some good sales and am in the process of organizing all my craft supplies and craft magazines. In addition to crochet and knitting, I also make jewelry, sew, and have started to quilt. So, I have a lot of supplies, and things started piling up when I had cancer and did not feel up to organizing. Our yarn store was a great place for knitters to congregate and get to know each other. I am working on keeping that going at another location. By the way I said knitters because I am the only one who does much crochet. So, that is my yarn life in flux. Thanks for the great podcast!
Yarn is my life… Loved today’s show!! Will definately be following Selena and Yarn Life!
I wish I had known this was online at the time. Always like to listen while doing crochet
Love the Yarn Life
Yarnlife…it’s mine…sigh…:)
Just saw the video. Love the talk you two had. I belong to the ACA, Salena Baca Crochet, Yarn Life. Love her patterns also.
My yarn life includes lots of fiber and daily knitting!!
My yarn life will be greatly improved if I win this!
I wish my yarn life was a bigger portion of my day….Having a day job seems to take more time than my yarn life would like.
I have a secret yarn life once everyone in the house goes to bed. LOL Yarn is cheaper than therapy! 😉
Yarn Life is my life. Just look at my stash LOL I have to check out the Yarn Life Show though I didn’t know about it. Just when I needed more watching material. HA HA
Crochet has gotten me through some recent dark days. My. Yarn Life has meant everything to me. I’ll have to look for the show to add to my days.
So happy to see that Salena is making the best of her yarn life.
The yarn life is the life for me!! What happiness it brings!
Yarnlife – that’s the life I want to live.
A few weeks ago I learned about Yarn Life From a post on Facebook by Marly. I instantly fell in love with Salena! I look forward to learning more about the business from her. Marly this was a Great show as always!
I really enjoyed listening to this episode and learning about the ACA. I’ve always loved school and learning so it really piqued my interest and I would definitely look into enrolling in the program. It was my first time hearing about Yarn Life so I will also have to check that one out.
I love the ACA and Yarn Life! Salena Baca and Marly Bird are wonderful role models for the modern crochet world!!

my yarn life keeps me sane.
My yarn life is a comfort of texture and projects completed with the joy visible to those who received the project.
What an interesting podcast about the ACA. Going to look into it. Something else to do in my yarn life!
I definitely have a yarn life. Seems like I always have yarn in my hands.
I cannot wait to retire so that I have more of a yarn life. When I have to bring home my yarn stash from my office I don’t know what my husband will say because he already thinks I have enough yarn at home! lol
My yarn life is an outlet for creativity.
My yarn life is an amazing outlet!!!
