About Me:
I am the marketing assistant at Knit Picks.

I inadvertently learned to knit 5 years ago, because I was washing camping gear at a laundromat across the street from a yarn store. I wandered over to the yarn store while my sleeping bag was drying, and then...well, I caught the knitting bug and I work at Knit Picks now!

I went to college in San Diego, and since I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I've been on a sweater kick because I'm usually freezing. I studied architecture in college, and I especially like the math and structure behind knitted garments. I like all sorts of knitting techniques, but especially unusual garment construction.

Since I started working here, I'm learning all sorts of crafts. I'm learning to spin, weave, and do piecework.

    City Tweed Projects

    It's officially fall, and it's time for me to pick up my City Tweed sweater that was a little too hot to work on over the summer.



    City Tweed is a great yarn for fall knitting. It's warm enough to be outerwear before you have to break out the winter coat. It's soft enough to wear next to your skin, so you can be cozy in a sweater whether you are raking leaves or sitting in fro… Continue

    Hi Kate! I finished the two Ho Ho Hats and posted photos of Yozhik and Beau in their finery! The CotLin and size 5 needles were perfect in making the right size for them. Thanks so much for your help!

    Thanks, Kate... Before I got going I thought I'd better check! I want to get them done and send them early so she can make Xmas photos of the Poms. This will be hilarious.

    Hi Kate! What size needles did you use for your CotLin Santa Hat? I started one last night for my daughter's Poms and realized I had no idea what size needle would make it work out right. Thanks!
