about me

Hello, and thanks for visiting!
I’m Kathie and I am, variously, a knitter, a designer, and a library worker. My husband thinks I have way too much yarn. I disagree. I now design under the name Knifty Patterns, but I used to be shake your booties!
I design unusual & thoughtful baby bootie, accessory, and ornament patterns. Sometimes fun, sometimes intricate … sometimes both! I’m inspired by nature, by traditional knitting techniques and styles, and, sometimes, by dares!
My Knifty Patterns are for sale right here or on Ravelry. I have an occasional newsletter – sign up below for new patterns, new tips and tricks, sneak peeks at upcoming designs, exclusive discounts, and more!
