YarnNerds

Welcome to Yarn Nerds!
Hi, I’m Lisa Borum — one of the heart and hands behind Yarn Nerds. I’ve been knitting since I was 14. Later, I taught myself how to crochet. Through lots of yarn, plenty of mistakes, and a whole lot of joy, I’ve grown into a passionate maker. 

As a mom of six, I spent many days on bed rest during my pregnancies — and yarn became both my creative outlet and a source of peace. From blankets and hats to sweaters and more, I’ve made just about everything with a hook or needle in hand.

At Yarn Nerds, my goal is to make knitting and crochet fun, doable, and rewarding — whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been crafting for years. I focus on simple techniques, clear instructions, and joyful designs so you never feel overwhelmed or frustrated — just excited to create.

If you love yarn, creativity, and learning new skills, you’re in the right place. Let’s make beautiful things together — one stitch at a time.
