About Yarnovations
Our goal is to create innovative designs for yarnivore’s because we know that sometimes you just can’t get enough fiber in you’re diet. We trust these crochet and weaving patterns, tips, and tricks will satiate the most ravenous appetite.
Yarnovations, created by twin sisters Deborah Bagley and Dana Rushold, offers a wide variety of patterns at a price you can afford – with some free stuff thrown in for good measure.
We specialize in realistic designs that are quirky and fun. We find inspiration all around us and crochet and weave items that tickle our fancy at any given moment.
About Yarnovator

Yes, Deborah Bagley’s grandmother did teach her to crochet. Armed with the basics (learned in the mid 1980’s), Deborah immediately gravitated to the most intricate blankets and stitches she could find.
Her craft took a back seat as she pursued higher education, a career in teaching, marriage, mountain biking and rock climbing. After crocheting stuffed toys for her myriad nieces and nephews for Christmas 2010, Deborah’s creativity and ingenuity took flight.
She was able to convince her twin sister to switch hobbies and join her in her crochet endeavor in 2011. A smart move since Dana enjoys the technology side of things.
About Yarnitect
Sure, Dana Rushold learned to crochet right alongside Deborah…on the same couch in their grandmother’s living room. She crocheted a blanket or two and some flowers. But her love of crochet blossomed after seeing unique and fun projects her sister whipped up in 2011.
After 20+ years, Dana put her love of creating hand stamped greeting cards (StampingWithPrincess) on the back burner to pursue crochet. Then in the fall of 2015, Dana joined the staff at Interweave Crochet (owned by F+W Media) as the Assitant Editor.
When not hookin’ it up, Dana can be found in the great outdoors mountain biking with her favorite twin and nephews.
