Patti Kelly Knits

Patti Kelly Knits Hand knitted, heirloom quality Christmas Stockings, and fashion accessories. Knitting is my passion! At the age of 9, I began knitting with her tutelage.

When I was a little girl, I would spend hours sitting next to my mother watching her knit. It was almost mesmerizing watching the movement of the yarn flow between her fingers, over the needles creating a new fabric cascading from the needles. I remember it as though it were yesterday (and at 58, that’s saying something). In the beginning, I could only make squares and rectangles, but it didn’t ta

ke long for me to expand my repertoire. I made my first cable knit sweater at 13. As I continued to hone my skills, I found great joy in making sweaters, shawls, scarves, afghans, and even Christmas stockings for friends and family. Over the years, I’ve been encouraged to sell my creations, but being a mom and a full-time teacher, relegated my knitting to be my escape from stress. When I’m overwhelmed, the rhythm of knitting that I enjoyed watching when I was a girl, relaxes me. Now, my children are adults and I am no longer teaching and, with the assistance of the internet, and friendly advisors, I’m turning my passion into a business. I specialize in creating one-of-a-kind, eye-catching heirloom-quality fashion pieces that will make you feel special and a little glamorous. I work with natural fibers

Each piece you see was made by my two hands.

Day 2 of the art fair. Thanks to all that stopped at my booth to talk knitting, purchase something, or just admire my work. I had a great time and entertained the crowd and my fellow artists with my ability to stand, sway, carry on a conversation while knitting.

This is my first original design.  As such, I am naming this piece after my  mother Blanche Kelly.  I could prattle on about my mother’s accomplishments, but most importantly, was frugal, stylish, and she taught me to knit.   This piece is both practical and styli
