HI, I’M KELLS!
A little bit about me!
I’m Kelly, but Kells works too. I sew, crochet, knit and have a habit of picking up new hobbies before I’ve finished the previous ones.
Kells & Co started as a name for the things I make at home, mostly for myself and my two kids, Otis and Cato. The Co. is them, although they’re not particularly helpful with the actual making.
I’ve been sewing and crocheting for a while, but knitting is a more recent addition. There’s usually something half-finished lying around, another project I’ve convinced myself I need to start, and a growing collection of materials that I’m definitely going to use.
Welcome to Kells & Co.
So, what’s on here?
A bit of everything, really.
I’ll be sharing things I’ve made, patterns I’ve tried, what worked, what didn’t, and whatever craft I’ve become temporarily obsessed with.
I’ve also started making little digital tools for makers. It began with Count on It, a stitch and row counter I wanted for my own projects. Then came Square Deal, for experimenting with granny-square colour combinations before committing to them.
Apparently, making things isn’t enough. I also need to make things that help me make other things.
This website used to be my fashion and lifestyle blog, many years ago. It’s had a fairly long break, but bringing it back as Kells & Co feels like a much better fit for what I enjoy doing now.
I’m not here to teach anyone the perfect way to make something. I’m mostly figuring things out as I go, and sharing the useful bits along the way.
Kelly
