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!

Finally got a chance to lay out my sock blanket to get the full scale of it - it’s going to be so giant and cozy! I also planned out most of the colors for the rest of it - hoping to finish this off in March!

What a great year ❤️

Merry Christmas from our family to yours ❤️💚🎄

What. A. Show! I’m really proud of this production and the work we did. Special thanks to Kat, Ben, Kim and Nick for being such a great group. And this cast was amazing and so supportive when I showed up on stage this weekend, so they’ll always have a special place in my heart ❤️

I don’t even know anymore guys

Breakfast of champions on the day of our first stumble through for Christmas Carol. Featuring a tortilla española I made without a recipe, a hazelnut mocha in my awesome mug from @kimsaltzman, and my twists and turns MKAL!

Pretty perfect day at Rhinebeck today! I felt like a celebrity walking around in our matching sweaters, though baby Alvin definitely stole the show! Leah and I of course had to buy some matching yarn, and I even ran into someone else wearing a Bee’s Knees sweater!

Enjoying a gorgeous fall afternoon with the WestKnits MKAL. I definitely won’t finish this in time for clue 2 but I’m appreciating the progress.
