About Stitches of Erie

Hi there!

I’m Kristen from Boston by way of Mississippi, now living in Erie, PA. I'm the owner and founder of Stitches of Erie. I’ve done some version of yarn craft for almost as long as I can remember (okay, realistically, probably since age 10-ish), and found the most enjoyment out of knitting, followed by cross-stitching and crochet. I love the challenge of a new pattern and making custom pieces unique to each recipient.

Besides crafting, I’m also a spouse, a psychology researcher, a pet mom, an ordained minister, and a lover of animals - especially peacocks and phoenixes! Thanks for stopping by! 

Stitches of Erie arose out of a need for a crafting community store and space in the Erie area. When I moved to Erie, I realized there was a lack of yarn stores yet a plethora of yarnies! My mission is craft community one stitch at a time by offering yarn products, notions, classes, and events. Join me along this journey both online now and in person, at a physical location coming soon.
