About

Kat grew up in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania — close enough to Lancaster County that she developed a deep love for shoofly pie at a very young age. She bakes, cooks, crafts, and gardens in Brooklyn, travels the world for inspiration, and photographs and blogs about all of it.

In addition to her urban homesteading adventures, Kat works full-time for a non-profit, teaching volunteers to paint murals, garden, and serve meals in soup kitchens. She also teaches vinyasa yoga at Om Factory NYC.

Last but not least, she is a former skater and manager of the Bronx Gridlock of Gotham Girls Roller Derby.

Great blog! I love you photos and projects. I was really excited to see that you’re working on Storm and plan on a post detailing your corrections to the pattern. I’m mired in that sweater myself and just ripped out about 20 rows because all of a sudden I can’t follow the pattern! It seemed so easy–and I am a bit of a beginner. Do you know when that post will be coming?

Hi Twilly – thanks for commenting! I’m in the process of finishing up Storm this evening, so hopefully I can pull together my notes and blog some corrections over the course of the next week.

It’s a gorgeous pattern, but written in a challenging way, isn’t it?
