I am a life-long maker - first it was knitting, then sewing, and now I also dabble in embroidery!
I love knitting because it is creative, fun, challenging, interesting, beautiful, and connects people all over the world.
Yarn Over Everything is not only a passion project, but also a career for me! I do this through teaching, designing knitwear, sample making, tech editing, ghostwriting, and grading patterns, and leading knit-alongs through my very own Discord server.
Knitting is what fills me with the most joy, confidence, and creativity, so yeah I guess you could say I'm obsessed.
Hey! I'm Kylen.
she/her
I grew up in Western NY, very close to Lake Erie and Chautauqua Lake. I love Western NY so much, and still visit home as much as I can. There are lakes, grapes, beautiful nature, wineries, and wonderful people!
Now I live in Pittsburgh, PA. I moved here after college, and over the last 10 years have built my own little community!
I live in the same neighborhood as two of my best friends, with my partner and two cats. I have a house that requires a lot of love and attention, and have created quite the little home for myself!
My home.
Since being self-employed, I quite honestly spend a lot of time working! But it's working on stuff I care about, so that's pretty great.
I split my time between Yarn Over Everything and mine and my best friend's web design firm - Woven Digital Design. We help small businesses with branding, website design, and search engine optimization. It's super creative and fun, and we love making a difference for the small businesses in our community!
Work life.
When I'm not working, I spend time with my family (including my adorable niece who I love so much), hang out with friends, go on walks along the river, listen to audiobooks, find new ways to cook tofu, pickle everything, spend a lot of money at my local coffee and ice cream shops, craft with several different groups, knit, sew, embroider, garden, and cook plant-based meals.
Non-work life.
