AKA
Project-A-Day Kate
|
Started
knitting: In 2003. She was
working on an ambulance and was
taught to knit by a colleague –
a male colleague.
Likes
to knit: Anywhere
and everywhere.
Project
she is working
on at the moment: She
just adopted
a toy poodle
from the Oakland
Animal Shelter,
Sammie. Sammie
is the best dressed
dog in his neighborhood
as in less than
one week, Kate
knit him - count
them - 5 sweaters!
(Editor’s
note: I wonder
if she has mastered
the art of dog
walking and knitting
simultaneously?)
The
first thing she
does when she
walks into a
yarn store: Well,
because she works
part-time at
Article Pract,
the first thing
she does is turn
on the lights
and always notices
the smell of
vinegar emanating
from the Malabrigo.
Her
other occupations: She
works as a patient
care technician
at the ER at
UCSF, and works
at Article
Pract and Ruby's
Garden.
When
not working
or knitting: Walks
her dog,
plays with
her dog,
hangs out
with her
friends
and her
dog, watches
Grey’s
Anatomy with...(yes,
her dog!),
drinks
good strong
coffee.
Reading
right now: Baby
Catcher by
Peggy Vincent, Guns
Germs and
Steel by
Jared Diamond.
Food
always in
the refrigerator: Lime
sparkling
water.
On
her iPod: Prince
is always
in the air.
Family: Her
parents live locally and are
the lucky recipients of many
of her knitted wonders!

aka
Kira K Designs |
Started
knitting: According to family
lore, she learned to knit at age
five. And she hasn't stopped since!
Likes
to knit: Wherever
and whenever she’s
bored or feeling
guilty for not doing
something useful.
Knitting makes her
ever so much more
patient especially
when waiting in a
long line, or for
other people’s
turns at Scrabble.
Projects
she
is
working
on
at
the
moment: A
black
cardigan.
She
only
recently
realized
that
she
didn’t
own
even
one
– shocking
– especially
since
she
owns
at
least
six
black
skirts
and
twelve
black
shirts! Also
a cabled
sweater
– for
a friend
who
quit
smoking
last
year,
a pair
of
fingerless
gloves,
and
a tank
top.
The
first thing she does
when she walks into
a yarn store: If
it's Artfibers, she
starts working. In
other shops, she
scans for the vegan/eco-friendly
yarns.
Her
other occupation: The
manager of
Artfibers
four days a
week. The other
days she creates
knitting and
crocheting
patterns (see
them at www.kirakdesigns.com)
and teaches.
When
not
working
or
knitting: Loves
to
cook
and
to
feed
people – the
German
mother
in
her
trying
to
get
out,
except
she
never
makes
German
food. She
also
likes
to
spend
time
with
her
wife
Rachel
and
their
cat,
Cat.
Reading
right
now: A
Thousand
Splendid
Suns by
Khaled
Hosseini.
