Ksenia Naidyon is a full-time knitwear designer and a creative force behind Life Is Cozy. She offers modern patterns and tutorials for pieces that celebrate texture and are often inspired by plants, berries, and her native Ukraine. Since 2012, Ksenia has created more than a hundred patterns, worked for a wide variety of yarn companies, and had her designs featured on the pages of various publications around the world. Ksenia loves a good spreadsheet, is a passionate knit/crochetwear photographer, and enjoys every minute of it!
After moving to Northern California from India in 2015, Kavitha left her 12-year corporate career as a Wireless Communications Engineer to focus on her family. She had always enjoyed knitting and crocheting as hobbies, and found that designing was a good way to combine her fiber hobbies with her math skills. She started self-publishing in 2016 as CraftDoodling Designs, and she continues to explore fibers and techniques in her work. She has also been teaching knitting and crochet classes since 2022.
Kira Dulaney (she/her) has been teaching fiber arts classes and hosting crafty events in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond since 2002. She grew up exploring various crafts and sharing skills with friends, and worked in both a fabric shop and a yarn shop. Getting a degree in Theater Arts with an emphasis on costume design inspired her to try new techniques and experiment with all kinds of projects. Kira love collaborating with other crafty small business owners, teaching new skills to students, and bringing groups to visit her favorite yarn shops and fiber farms. These days she lives in Oakland with her wife and two dogs, all of whom cameo on social media posts from time to time.
