Emily O’Brien has been knitting since she was 12 years old. Emily went to school for theatre design but ended up putting those design skills into knitwear instead! Emily focuses on creating patterns that are not just beautiful finished objects but also really fun and addicting to knit. She has been featured in Knit Picks Collections, Interweave, I Like Knitting, Knit Now, and has popular self-published patterns. Emily lives in Louisville, KY with her husband Chad and a menagerie of 1 dog, 3 cats, 6 chickens, 1 rabbit, and about 20,000 honeybees. Aside from yarn, Emily loves both kitties and cupcakes.

Lauren has been a knitter and crafter for 20+ years. She went to college for Clinical Nutrition at UC, Davis and then became disillusioned with the medical profession. Next, she went to culinary school and cooked for several years until she became disillusioned with that profession too. She is much happier cooking yarn and fiber in her kitchen in her yarn-hovel in the mountains. Valkyrie Fibers specializes in self striping sock yarn and Lauren’s colorways are inspired by nature and pop culture. In her free time, Lauren likes yelling in the streets when human rights are infringed upon, (legally) smoking weed, and petting kittens.
