My username is K5tog.

I am one of the owners of 3 Kittens Needle Arts in St Paul, Minnesota. We bought the store in October 2006. For many years the store was a combined yarn and needlepoint store. In March 2025, we closed liquidated our yarns in order to concentrate on needlepoint. However, my passion will always be knitting.

I have been knitting since my college days. I began designing after we bought 3 Kittens. Many of my designs have been developed for events that 3 Kittens’ participated in over the years. I have designed both knitting and crochet projects, but the majority are knitted.

I like stripes, slipped stitches, unusual patterns with twisted stitches, and more. I hope you find something you will enjoy knitting!
