Hey, I’m Karen

I’m a writer with a music history degree, a maker with a handmade wardrobe, a Utah native, and a big fan of the serial comma.

And also dad jokes:

Q: Where do pirates get their hooks from?
A: The second hand store.

Me, elsewhere

When I’m not working, I like to make clothes and sweaters, lift heavy weights, and go outside. I’ve been blogging since 2006 and collect projects and things that catch my eye over there. My Instagram is mostly sewing projects with some light socialism.
