ABOUT US
 Katherine is the designer behind all the Sweaterbabe.com knitting and crochet patterns.
Katherine first learned to knit at a day care center in Iowa when she was just 8 years old! It was that or shrinky-dinks (remember those?) and the knitting needles won out that fateful afternoon. Her first project was a never-ending (they didn't teach her how to bind off) scarf-like object in a lovely orange-variegated, acrylic yarn from Target. It would be the first of many cherished projects.
Soon after, Katherine moved to San Diego with her family, where she continued to knit obsessively, teaching herself new knitting techniques and patterns, as well as how to crochet and tat (an old lace-making technique). Even as she went to engineering school, became a consultant for a BIG accounting firm, and later got her MBA, she often daydreamed of turning her favorite hobby into a career (even pursuing an MFA in Knitwear Design at the Academy of Art school in San Francisco at one point!). Instead, she stayed on her conservative career path and became a veteran of several Internet start-ups, moved to Los Angeles, and continued to pursue her passion for knitting, crocheting, and designing in her spare time.
