September Reader Who Knits: Kathleen Stamer

It's time to meet this month's Reader Who Knits! DestiKNITters, say hello to Kathleen Stamer.

Kathleen, what’s on your needles right now? 

A blanket from 60 Quick Baby Blankets called Pumpkin Patch, knit in stripes of autumnal orange. It is a perfect gender neutral color for the grandchild coming next March.

What feels like your favorite/greatest knitting accomplishment? 

The sweater I knit for my baby sister when I was sixteen and taking a knitting class in high school. It was my first sweater and I was really proud of it!

What feels like the worst knitting mistake/foible/wrong choice you’ve ever made? 

The vest I made with chunky yarn. I found out through that project that I didn’t like chunky yarn for clothing items.

Straight or circular needles? 

Circular

Metal or wood needles?

White chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate?
