About Abbi Skog

Abbi was introduced to crocheting by her mom at the age of 10, and picked up knitting shortly after. It quickly became a fun hobby that would get her through the long Minnesota winters. Over the years, she’s designed a blanket, a baby onesie, and several baby toys. She recently started her own business, Midwest Yarn Co., where she sells handmade and made to order baby items. In the coming year, Abbi hopes to write up some of her designs and sell patterns as well. Abbi loves the purpose, peace, and creativity knitting and crocheting have to offer.
