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!

Lazy, rainy days off call for fancy breakfasts and women’s sports

Can I finish this blanket this year? There will be two more quadrants above these, and I basically need to knit a square a day. There’s a new post up on my blog about this!

Happy New Year everyone !

A pretty perfect day with @mamwyoga @dmanocchio1116 @la_fleur_qui_chante and @fikawithfiona baking cookies! We got to 831 total cookies - a new record!

Amazing afternoon at @metopera with @la_fleur_qui_chante ! Eurydice was absolutely beautiful and wonderful.

The beer is called Cross Stitch so of course @la_fleur_qui_chante and I had to get it.

She’s done! This is the Wavelength Sweater by @tina.say.knits. I really love the version I ended up with, using Valley Yarns super wash DK for the grey, a OOAK rainbow color way from @iamfullyspun, and Eyes of Emerald Green from @teenybutton

My Shawlography is finished! I really loved knitting this along with @leahvarrell @kristinbietsch and thousands of others. The yarn is 5 skeins of @neighborhoodfiberco and I’m incredibly happy with the colors I chose.

Did I pick this book from my to be read pile because it was the one that matched the most with my sweater? Yes, yes I did. But it’s super intriguing and I’m enjoying getting a good chunk of the way through it on my day off today.
