About Me

Hi there! Thanks for checking out my blog. I’m so happy to have you here.

My name is Kathryn, and I set up this blog to talk about my knitting. I have been knitting steadily since late 2014, though I first learned when I was in middle school. Knitting is a way for me to relax, challenge myself, meet new friends, and make beautiful things. I figured out a few years ago that my driving force is to create things people use or enjoy, and knitting fits right into this.

That driving spirit is not just about knitting though. It’s what keeps me engaged at my day job at an insurance company, working on process improvement to make other people’s jobs easier. It’s also why I do theater – the name of this blog comes from my love of working on a show.

On this blog you’ll find my musings around the projects I knit and how they fit into my life. I love to get to know my fellow bloggers, so stop by and say hello!

Since costumer Kathryn just has to stand in front of a pot for 45 minutes to dye a dress, ensemble Kathryn might as well get some practice in.
Fantastic day in the city with @brendonrogers0426 ! Dracula was HILARIOUS and getting to hear and meet@jairodriguez was so much fun!
Tonight I attempted to answer one of the world’s most niche and silly musical theater questions- what if Olive Ostrovsky from 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was an actual 🫒?
The more things change, the more they stay the same! On this day in 2019, I was knitting and studying Mamma Mia music. Today I’m knitting and studying Drowsy Chaperone music!
The rain didn’t dampen our enthusiasm! This was our 3rd year going to Rhinebeck together in matching sweaters and it was as always a great time with good friends and amazing fiber fun.
So excited to start #geogradientmkal2023 !!
“I built this sanctuary to be inhabited by my ideas and fantasies”
When I booked this trip in February, I had no idea it would be the end of the @operaphila festival, but my goodness it worked out great! I was staying within walking distance of all these venues. All three operas I saw were amazing. It was a great mix of classic and modern, with some challenging themes and exciting new productions. I also got to see two “the show must go on” moments, with the delay of one show due to a power outage, and the main female lead being a last minute replacement in another. But that was no problem for me, and I left so impressed with how everyone handled those situations.
Great night at @milkboyphilly with @fetcherband @crybaby.band and @whitehalltheband
