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!

Sunny spring days are the best ☀️

If you can see AJR live, do it

When I broke my wrist a few days ago, it instantly became clear that I would not survive without at least some sort of craft. Thanks to a tutorial from @imhelenzhou and @dianamh119 ‘s dad I can now crochet! It’s not pretty and it’s not fast, but at least I’m using my hands to do something!

Great morning at the Olympic museum to start off our trip! 🏒⛸️⛷️

Wasabi and Nori checking things out 😻

I love my most recent finish! This is Maema by @pipandpin , though I modified the sleeves and ribbing (one intentionally and one because I wasn’t paying attention 🤣). I used 5 skeins of @hedgehogfibres sock in the colorway Pine. I think this one will get a lot of use!

Finished this cute little #embroidery to give to a friend. I really love how the French knot hydrangeas turned out!

Finished this gift for a friend and I love it so much! The pattern is by @ansitru the song is a silly TikTok sound from a few years ago that I updated the lyrics for to match 😂

My latest FO! I loved making this little fox 🦊
