Handmade means crafted by hand. All my knit ware items are hand knit or crocheted using knitting needles or crochet hooks passed down to me from my grandmother and great-grandmother. The wooden tags are made and engraved by a fellow small business owner and hand sewn onto each finished product.

Whenever possible, I source all my fibers from USA grown and processed sustainable farms and mills.

I’m very dedicated to supporting other makers who also support resource sustainability. There are too many exploitative, mass-producing corporations that don’t care about the damage they leave or the multitude of clones that arise. At the end of my products’ lives, the yarn can be unraveled and remade into new items; the organic cotton stuffing can be reused in new toys or as cotton balls. And all fibers can ultimately be composted back to the Earth. How beautiful is that?

Don’t let other stores hide behind mass-produced “handmade” that you’ve seen in every other store. If you’re looking for truly unique artisan crafted ware, then I hope you’ll give me a chance to show you how much we have in common.

If you or someone you know is looking to sell naturally raised + USA processed yarn, please email me.  I love supporting fellow small businesses 🖤

The best way to shop is in person! It is a feast for the senses - all the lofty alpaca wool, the chunky wool-blend nesting baskets, and the delicately soft baby goodies. Each boutique is unique in its curation and I highly recommend each of them.

If you love shopping in the open air at farmers’ markets and meeting the makers, then you won’t want to miss the opportunity that is a pop-up market. I list all my upcoming markets here.

Or you can check out my blog and Instagram for pictures of my products.

You have your own style and I'd love to help you find that perfect item that makes it come alive - whether it's a new winter accessory so you don't look like Daniel Boone in an itchy hat or it's that cute catch-all basket by the entry door that saves your keys from oblivion.

It's time to discover the beauty of collaborative design with Knittedhome. Let's talk purpose + needs, and colors + sizing, so we can design the perfect solution that was meant to be all along.

We all love drooling over handcrafted items but do you ever wish you could create something high end with your own hands as easily as tying your shoes? I’d love to introduce you to the addicting world of fiber art. Teaching knit and crochet skills to beginners is a specialty I love to share with everyone interested.

I’ve been teaching since 2012, having learned crochet from my own grandmother when I was 7 and knitting from my aunt when I was 14 years old. By high school, my peers were asking for lessons and I happily showed them the basic beginnings, even teaching at a few club meetings. But it was in college that I started to teach formal lessons to paying students. Now armed with handouts, knowledge to correct many beginner mistakes and the continued joy of witnessing those “ah-ha” moments, I have taken what I know and built a video library to get you started on your journey.

Every student I’ve met has started on youtube and then come to me for hands on instruction and personalized connection with inevitable mistake(s). It was these mistakes that inspired my own youtube channel and all of my digital guides.

Curious to see if these patterns + video tutorials are right for you?

I was born + raised in NW Ohio in a crafting household.  My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 7, like the rest of her grandchildren, and my aunt taught me to knit when I was 14.  My drive to craft quickly became one to solve little problems. I started with simple toys and doll dresses and continued to learn techniques through many years of trial and error. Now I love to design elegant solutions for daily life that maintain their integrity after multiple washings and also use sustainable materials when possible.

My favorite part is the process. I love the feeling of the needles or hook bouncing in my hands and the soft yarn gliding along my fingers. It is all muscle memory at this point, and a great way to release daily anxieties in its meditative rhythm.

Introducing beginners to this addicting hobby and meeting people at handmade markets is one of the best things about turning this hobby into a career.
