Katie Rempe

I’m Katie Rempe, the knit witch behind Light From Lantern and host of the Knit A Spell podcast. I discovered my passion for knitwear at Kent State’s School of Fashion Design and went on to work across every corner of the hand-knitting industry—from retail and design to marketing, manufacturing, and most recently as Creative Director at Skacel Collection.

For years, I kept my magical side quiet, even though tarot had been one of my problem-solving tools since college. When I finally embraced how beautifully magic and making could intertwine, everything clicked—and I came out of the “broom closet.”

Now, through my patterns, classes, and podcast, I help knitters infuse their projects with intention, creativity, and a touch of magic. Because when you stitch with purpose, every project becomes more than craft—it becomes a spell.
