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!

The Feels Like Summer crop by @wanderfulknits is live! I loved testing this top for Symone. I used some merino linen from @moondrakeco which is a joy to knit with.

Another day, another test knit! These are the Twist & Shout socks from @knottygurlcrochet . This is a great pattern to use up little bits of sock yarn.

Do I really have to wait a month to start the #shawlographymkal ?! My yarn arrived today, it’s this glorious combo I picked from @neighborhoodfiberco . I’m really happy my color sense seems to be getting a little better, because I think these look really great together!

Enjoying some slightly cooler weather with knitting and tennis outdoors. Working on some afterthought everything socks with Ace pride yarn from @iamfullyspun and an awesome project bag from @republica_unicornia_yarns

I could not have asked for a more perfect return to live theater! @timesfoolcompany , this show was absolutely amazing. The acting, singing, and creativity were all spot on.

Good morning! ☀️ Relaxing outside with my new test knit, using leftovers from a test knit I made last year.

Beginnings and endings… Finishing off the last heel on a recent test for @peridragon_designs, and getting ready for a gauge swatch for a new test for @wanderfulknits! Plus starting a new book makes for a great evening

Family appreciation post ❤️❤️ Congratulations @kylewis_7 and Christian, it was so awesome to spend such a joyous day with you and the rest of the fam!

Cousin time is the best time ❤️ @aislynjeanne @la_fleur_qui_chante
