I'm Lynn DT Hershberger, of Lansing, Michigan, USA.
LynnH is what I've been called online since 1995.
- I'm an artist (knitter, designer, teacher, and singer). I'm passionate about creativity in ordinary parts of life.
- I've knit almost 200 pairs of socks to date. If you are interested, you can see several dozen of my pairs on my
LynnH SockTour.
- I teach knitting, felting & polymer clay, in Lansing, Michigan and at
fiber/knitting events throughout the USA. This is my primary business. May I teach for you?
- I write a weblog about artful living.
- I design knitting patterns with clearly-written instructions (and multiple photos when needed).
- When I became allergic to standard baking ingredients, I created my own recipes for pumpkin pie, brownies and the like. I self-published a dessert cookbook called "I Can Eat These" so that others would not need to invent recipes from scratch.
- Read article in Greater Lansing Woman's Monthly Magazine
- I sing in a retro-1920's duo (The Fabulous Heftones) with my husband, Brian.
- ColorJoy is a one-woman business. That makes me the designer, secretary, publicist, baker, writer and instructor.
Fortunately, I have wonderful folks who test edit, test knit, test bake, take photos and
proofread for me. I work alone when I'm not teaching, but my products are the result of a caring team.

we sing together, I use the name Lynn Hefferan.
Some people call me Joy, because of my business name. I LOVE being called Joy!
(Actually, my 1998 New Beetle's name is Joy... but I don't mind sharing.)
