Kt Baldassaro

Bio

You may know me from my independent film work, modeling career, Webs, or high school..maybe we met at the bank once; all you need to know is my simple goal: to somehow combine my love of zombies with my love of yarn in a way that no one gets hurt.

I’ve been working with Feza Yarns as their Head of Design and Communication four the last four years, until I recently decided to strike out on my own and launched SeriouslyDoItYourself.com, along with pumping up my own pattern line- Zombie Hunter Designs

As for myself, my name is Kt Baldassaro. I’m a twenty-something designer, actress, and fencer living out in Western Mass. I always attribute everything I know about design and knitting to my mother. It was also her passion, or shared obsession, to teach me the basics at a very young age, thusly I have been knitting for over twenty years; Although, I no longer make such slanted potholders.
