About Stitches of Erie

Hi there!

About the Store

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

About the Owner 

I’m Kristen, a crafter who originated in Mississippi, called Boston home for years, and now I live 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 and supporting local!
