Fiber Artist in Residence

Leslie is our first “fiber artist in residence”! She’s been an obsessive knitter for over 40 years (through a lot of staff meetings and conference calls) and has made and sold patterns for both Columbia Creek Farms, and KnitPicks. She’s also been spinning for nearly 40 years , and raising a flock of pygora goats for fiber. She’s found that even after all this time knitting there always seems to be something new to try. Someday soon she’s going to master brioche knitting. Maybe.

She loved designing the accessory patterns available here with the Columbia Creek custom spun yarns. The yarns are amazingly soft, and they’re perfect for things you wear next to your skin.
