Meet Karen, the KDO Committee’s newest member!
I've been knitting for about 15 years, but all things yarn have become a vital part of my life; I've also discovered how quickly you can build a sort of crazy large stash. :)

I'm a retired professor and administrator from Penn State's Abington campus and am glad to be so close to great yarn shops and a wonderful community of knitters in the Philly area. My first trip to KDO was last year, but I loved it so much, I volunteered to help out in any way I could: and here I am, coordinating this year's student volunteers to help everything run smoothly. Thanks to everyone who volunteered; I can't wait to see you all in a few days!

Hi, Becky Stets here. This is my 1st year on the KDO Committee after many years of attending the event. This year I helped find regional teachers with new class offerings and recently jumped in to help on KDO’s social media. Planning has been a blast and I look forward to what we can bring you next year!
When working on my fashion design degree in college, I taught myself to knit to kill time between classes and as a complementary skill to garment sewing. Since then I have expanded my fiber artistry to crochet, weaving, spinning, flatbed knitting and circular machine knitting. However, knitting will always be my number one!
I live in a 200 year old fixer-upper with my spouse, 2 kids, 6 cats and a small fiber flock of Shetland Sheep that roam our property in Carlisle, PA.

Hello! My name is Caitlin and I am the treasurer of KDO. I keep track of all our expenses and income each year. I have been a part of the KDO committee since 2023. I am also a PhD candidate at the University of Delaware studying marine policy. In my spare time I am learning to knit and am currently attempting socks.

KDO has been an important part of my life since 2018 when I attended my first event weekend. I was immediately smitten with everything about it. When I wrote my evaluation, I answered the volunteer question with a ‘yes’ and began doing that in 2019.
I was able to learn how the Committee operated during the pandemic, and then, when we were able to meet in person for KDO, I began to coordinate the hotel accommodations and catering. The entire committee collaborates on the choices for our meals, and I coordinate with the head of catering at Central Penn.
The Knitter’s Review newsletter, written by Clara Parkes, sparked my interest in learning how to knit and I began to attend classes at my LYS in the early 2000s. At Clara’s Knitter’s Review Retreats, I staffed the registration desk and helped with other on-site details for the weekend.
About 10 years ago I joined a great group of knitters and crocheters in the Liberty Bell Knitting Guild in Philadelphia. I helped to start and coordinate a Fiber Arts group that meets at the Falls Library in the Philly neighborhood of East Falls.
Currently I have a number of works in progress, ranging from a sweater to charity hats & shawls. I still hope to master sock knitting! All knitting is good knitting.

Meet Kathleen who works hard to make the KDO Marketplace full of amazing vendors!
I am a retired social worker who is back working part time with families and foster children. I have 2 daughters and three grandsons. I have been knitting for 45 years and crocheting for 55 years. If I’m sitting I’m knitting!
For KDO I organize the market place and have the pleasure of working closely with our vendors. It’s sometimes a lot of work but it is also a lot of fun! I look forward to seeing everyone in the Marketplace!
